Associated Press pushes racial division, touts a new-found concern over large gatherings of citizens
/Trump denounced the current cancel culture and, while he was at it, the rioters and looters at recent virtue rallies, of which only 1 in six protestors were actually, you know, black. But to the AP, any denunciation of rioters who claim to be acting on behalf of their black friends (a claim debunked by many inner-city residents who saw their local businesses destroyed by white saviors) is an act of racism itself because, well because!
None of these mewlings from liars with an agenda would matter except that the Associated Press holds a near-monopoly over the national news feed of local papers and thus shapes the national discussion under the guise of informing the readers. And because often the only other sources of news for those readers are the Democrat mouthpieces in mainstream media, it’s no wonder the country is going down.
By the way, Trump is the 16th President to visit Mr. Rushmore, following on the heels of, among others, Obama, Bill Clinton and JFK, but only now have our cub reporters thought to claim that to do so is an act of racism. And because these two particular ignorant idiots know nothing about the subject of Indians they found and quote one old Sioux who whines that the land of his ancestors was stolen; the least they could do to “inform the public” is to note that the Sioux were pushed into the Black Hills and Great Plains by other conquering tribes in the 1760s, and were pushed out in turn by the white man in the 1870s. As history goes, that barely qualifies as a short term rental.
(For a nice roundup of various politicians and news anchors gushing over the “magnificent sight” of Mt. Rushmore, go here. The link includes Bernie Sanders’s reaction to seeing the monument: “This is our country at its very best. What an incredible achievement. …. It really does make one very proud to be an American.” With a CNN voice-over: “Bernie Sanders taking in the majesty of the moment. This monument to four great American presidents.”
UPDATE: The rot isn’t limited to the AP
