It Wasn’t an Attack. It Was a Rogue Self-Driving Car.

WaPo Roasted After Tweeting ‘Waukesha Tragedy Caused By An SUV’ | The Daily Wire

They should be roasted.

On Wednesday night, The Washington Post, referring to the attack on the Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in which at least six people were killed and scores of others were injured, tweeted, “Here’s what we know so far on the sequence of events that led to the Waukesha tragedy caused by a SUV.”

Here's what we know so far on the sequence of events that led to the Waukesha tragedy caused by a SUV. https://t.co/FWwYFEjits

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) November 25, 2021

It wasn’t just the tweet; in the article describing the attack, the Post wrote:

A quarter-mile from the rotary building, at 4:39 p.m., an officer told a dispatcher a maroon Ford Escape “just blew by [him]” at White Rock and Hartwell avenues, the intersection where barricades blocking traffic to the parade were removed just a minute before, according to police audio and time codes provided by Broadcastify. A few moments later, the SUV rammed through the parade participants, killing five and injuring more than 40 people, including children.

Heh. They deleted the Tweet.

But no mention of the driver or his motives. It was just the SUV.

When are we going to get a ban on these assault vehicles?

It definitely was. As I pointed out earlier.

They Need to Retract the Entire Series

WaPo Issues Major Corrections To Reports On Steele Dossier | The Daily Wire

The Post rewrote parts of stories published in March 2017 and February 2019, removing claims in the stories that the Steele dossier’s “Source D,” who is responsible for some of the most salacious and outrageous claims in the document, is Belarusian American businessman Sergei Millian.

“The newspaper’s executive editor, Sally Buzbee, said The Post could no longer stand by the accuracy of those elements of the story,” the Washington Post reported, in a separate story on the changes it made. “The story’s headline was amended, sections identifying Millian as the source were removed, and an accompanying video summarizing the article was eliminated. An editor’s note explaining the changes was added. Other stories that made the same assertion were corrected as well.”

“The Post’s decision to edit and repost the Millian stories is highly unusual in the news industry,” the Post added.

Durham’s indictments have made these stories unsupportable. But don’t worry. They’ll stick with them as long as they can. And it doesn’t matter now, anyway. The stories accomplished their purpose, which was to hinder and weaken President Donald Trump (R-USA). And the corrections won’t get much publicity. People will continue to think that Trump colluded with the Russians.

A Major U.S. Newspaper Is Calling for Censorship. Thomas Paine Is Spinning in His Grave.

Democracy Dies in Darkness, and the WaPo Wants to Kill It – PJ Media

While the Washington Post piously reminds us that “democracy dies in darkness,” it’s busy shooting out the lights: On Tuesday it published a lengthy call to Facebook to shut down dissident media, including PJ Media, because, you see, the non-Leftist publications are daring to spread “climate change denial” on the platform. Not just democracy, but also the freedom of speech will die in darkness if the Post gets its way.

Amazingly, Facebook so far is not playing ball.

Facebook, however, is not being cooperative, and not exercising enough censorship: “Earlier this year, Facebook promised to start adding informational labels to some climate posts, much like it does with election or coronavirus posts. But CCDH researchers found that of the posts they surveyed containing climate misinformation, just 8% carried Facebook’s informational label.” Nor does it look as if this is going to change anytime soon.

I’m sure they’ll roll over soon. They’re all on the same side and Facebook will remember that (or be reminded of it).

Oh, so She Was Asking for It?

I thought that rapist defense went out with bell bottom jeans and Jimmy Carter.

Washington Post Reporter Frames Loudoun County Sexual Assault In Way Paper Would Not Frame Other Accusations | The Daily Wire

Ok, so the girl in question is a slut. I’m sure reading that in the paper is going to continue to make the dad happy.

But she didn’t go in there for consensual sex this time. Unless the paper is trying to bring that into question.

What happened to #BelieveAllWomen

I didn’t realize it was #BelieveAllWomenNotClaimingToBeAttackedBySomeoneInAProtectedGroup

That doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well.

This is a disgusting attack.

More from Daily Wire:

The wording of the tweet didn’t make it clear that the female victim had sex with the same student in the bathroom prior to her accusation of sexual assault. Jouvenal’s article on the case makes this clear:

During the hearing, the 15-year-old victim in the first case testified she had consensual sexual encounters with the defendant on two occasions in a girls’ bathroom at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn. On May 28, she said, the two arranged to meet again and the youth threw her to the floor and forced her to perform sex acts.

What made the final encounter different, according to the female victim’s testimony, is that the male student forced her to perform a sex act she had repeatedly refused to participate in. As the Post reported, the victim and the perpetrator had “sexually charged” conversations on a social media app prior to the assault, during which the young woman repeatedly refused to participate in a particular sex act desired by her attacker. One day before the assault, the victim was hospitalized “because of a health condition that made her weak, and the defendant ‘utilized her physical helplessness’ to take advantage of her,” the Post reported.

“He flipped me over,” the girl testified, per the Post. “I was on the ground and couldn’t move and he sexually assaulted me.”

Jouvenal’s tweet about the article generated a backlash online, with conservative comedian Tim Young wrote: “Oh look… the Washington Post victim blames teens who were raped now.” Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press secretary, Christina Pushaw, wrote: “So what you’re saying is ‘she asked for it’?”

Yes, I see that Christina Pushaw and I had the same reaction.

Once again, this is disgusting, but not surprising. Very little from the left surprises me anymore. They’re all just horrible people.

I Am Sure They Wouldn’t Be Saying This if Trump Were Still President

Washington Post Op-Ed: Don’t ‘Whine’ About Supply Chain Shortages, Empty Shelves | The Daily Wire

We call this, “protecting the Democrat President”, not “unbiased journalism”.

Across the country, Americans’ expectations of speedy service and easy access to consumer products have been crushed like a Styrofoam container in a trash compactor. Time for some new, more realistic expectations.

Fast food is less fast. A huge flotilla of container ships is stuck offshore in California, waiting to unload. Shelves normally stocked with Halloween candy this time of year are empty, as I saw the other day at a Target here in Ann Arbor, Mich.

American consumers, their expectations pampered and catered to for decades, are not accustomed to inconvenience.

No, we aren’t used to it. We’re used to living in the greatest country in the world. The greatest economic power the world has ever seen. The country that transformed the entire world in about 100 years. We’re not accustomed to socialist economic failures. And we don’t want to become accustomed to that.

Shame on you for trying to make us feel guilty about American Greatness and for trying to make uses feel we deserve less. Whose side are you on, anyway?

The Washington Post isn’t worthy of being used as a place for your dogs to $#!+.

This Is a Newspaper. You Can’t Have Open Debate Here!

WaPo Published a Column from Hugh Hewitt and the Left Had a Complete Meltdown (townhall.com)

It wasn’t even that provocative of a column. Hugh Hewitt is pretty mild-mannered. He’s not a fire-breather by any means. He wrote an opinion article that said basically that Dr. Fauci had become very divisive and wondered if that meant it was time for him to go.

He didn’t say it was time for Fauci to go because he was wrong about everything. He merely pointed out that Fauci has very passionate attackers and very passionate followers. And for an unelected public servant whose role is to set public policy, such passions might make it difficult for him to be effective.

It’s an interesting point. I doubt it will sway anyone’s opinion, most importantly Dr. Fauci, whom he did interview for the column.

But of course, the left went crazy, because their supposedly objective newspaper published a column by a journalist who is right of center.

BTW, someone should tell these people going berserk about this, that it kind of proves the point about “objectivity” at The Washington Post. They wouldn’t be in such an uproar if the paper commonly presented both sides of an argument. They’re used to only seeing things from the left, and that’s all they want to see.
