More On The Catholic MAGA Kids And American Indian Drum Dude: "Nathan Phillips Lied. The Media Bought It"
link
Well...the media bought it because the media wanted to buy it. Leftist American Indian: top o' the progressive stack. Evil MAGA-wearing, Catholic, pro-life whiteboy: bottom of the stack. And facts barely matter anymore...so you just identify their comparative positions in the stack and write a story around them.
Anybody want to make any bets about whether or not the media will admit error? Hard to believe that the WaPo is so far gone not to... /r/Politics is currently deleting any comments linking to the whole video or criticizing the preferred leftist story, as are several other subreddits.

In fairness Jake Tapper is starting to report the other side, here’s the “smirking “ kids statement: https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1087137470670663680?s=21. Which of course completely consistent with video evidence. CNN really needs to be in cover your ass mode now so they don’t even deserve partial credit.
If you read to the end, the kid and his family have already received death threats over this. The kid. They did this shit to a kid. I stand by my claim that a libel suit needs to be made.
Yup, saw that Tapper thing.
And I think you're right...it'd be beautiful if this kid sued the shit out of the lying media.
And I stand by my claim: Trump is dangerous...but he'll be gone in 730 days...we've got this lying media for the indefinite future.
Also:
THIS CASE IS REALLY CLEAR. If they can lie about this, they can lie about anything.
