Finally an egregious enough lapse in judgement and accuracy from the MSM (or just finally some evidence of downright malicious misinformation). This is it. This is big.
THIS IS THE REASON HAVING A CENTRALIZED MINISTRY OF TRUTH IS DANGEROUS.
When the approved authorities get details wrong, when the experts and "TeH ScIeNcE" get something wrong, when the MSM decides to deliberately misrepresent to pursue a narrative, when the raging crowds and mob mentality makes wild assumptions. When it all culminates in a big bomb of bullshit because reality says otherwise... The normies can't take it. They think the system is rigged against them.
Some of them genuinely believe that Kyle shot 3 black kids who were just peacefully protesting. And that's because that's exactly what they were told by the official sources that they genuinely believe still retain their old reputations of trustworthiness and can never be wrong.
USE THIS. This is the perfect evidence why Facebook censorship, Twitter censorship, pursuing ideological narratives over truth, "Safe and Effective", "Trust the Science", and blind trust in big brother government and Big Tech is untenable.
Congrats Kyle. USA won one finally.
They need prompting to draw lessons from it.
"Think about how long it took for you to understand Kyle was the hero of the story not the villain. Why did it take so long?"
"What news were you listening to that you felt he shot black peaceful protestors, had a gun illegally, and carried a gun across state lines? That's fake news. None of that is true".
...because the news they were listening to was NPR, NYT, WaPo. They believed and were somewhat correct that these sources were good prior to 2016 and a Pew survey shows they are still trusting these same now-bottom of the barrel news sources. They need to wake up.
2014 was either when I noticed or they went full retard.
Let's be honest, most sources were pretty terrible before 2014 too.

The graph shows 2016 R / 2017 D and you want to make it line up with what they remember and what you can demonstrate if they even get as far as asking for evidence. Like I talk with my elderly parents, they know the news took a nosedive and when and why (Trump) they just don't want to confront it.
Crowder talked about this the other day when he was doing his breakdown and I agree with him. We saw the state lie through their teeth, manipulate evidence, suborn perjury (likely, but not definitely proven), and then make the entire case all about the gun. Then we saw the media lie though their teeth, with some of the most bold faced lying ever seen. All but saying "Dont believe your own lying eyes. Believe what we tell you, because we told you to." And just for good measure, they proceeded to try and dox the jury for their footsoldiers to go after. We saw Antifa and BLM come out and say "If we dont get what we want, we will beat you and burn down your city."
And we saw the jury, made up of normal people who have been on the receiving end of this evil, stand up, square back their shoulders, and say "No. Fuck you."
The Left is currently reeeing greatly over losing what they though they should win, but they should be very afraid about this result. There is a group of people that Kurt Schlichter calls the "Militant Normals", what most of us on here call normies. The people who hate politics, just want to live their life, love their country, want to enjoy time with their family, and yes, just want to grill. And now they are being forced to care. And now that they care, they have one objective: Destroy the insane psychos on the Left trying to destroy their country and their families, so that they can go back to grilling again.
Congratulations Leftist, you got your wish. Normal people are becoming involved in politics. And the monkey paw curls.
they have awakened a sleeping giant, and filled him with terrible resolve.
kyle won because the prosecutors were nearly incompetent, no less. with the evidence, a skilled team would have had a much better outcome, i doubt the lawers they picked for the state had many big cases in their work history.
