For John, BLUF: Freedom requires a certain degree of informational accuracy in order to be effectively exercised. It seems to me that News institutions have a duty to provide the unvarnished facts. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From Twitchy, by Sarah D., 20 January 2020.
Here is the lede plus one:
NBC News correspondent Gabe Gutierrez is on the ground in Virginia today to cover today’s gun rights rally. And what he heard will shock you:The problem is, it sure sounds, in the video Reporter Gabe Gutierrez provides, like the US Pledge of Allegiance.[Then the article cuts to the Tweet]
Chants of “we will not comply” from gun rights protesters in Richmond.
I am thinking that this isn't so much on Reporter Gutierrez as on his production team. Still, it is on NBC as a media institution. Alternatively, it is a deliberate distortion for the purposes of influencing political sentiments.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
