The Left-Wing Media Is STILL Running Awful Takes On The Covington Catholic Story

I awoke today to *checks notes* day six of what should have never been a story to begin with (teenagers singing songs as a Native American man beats drum is nothing without the racial tensions added in by a media looking to hurt the current president and his supporters).

Yet here we are, six days later, after video evidence shows the boys weren’t harassing and that much of what the Native American protester claimed happened did not actually happen, and the media is still running absurd stories on the situation.

Here are the latest, some of which are actually from yesterday, but were being passed around on social media today:

New York Times: Hebrew Israelites See Divine Intervention in Lincoln Memorial Confrontation

Yes, the same Hebrew Israelites who started the whole saga by calling the Covington Catholic teenagers “white crackers,” “f****ts,” and “incest kids.” The Times actually ran an article that began with the line: “They are sidewalk ministers who use confrontation as their gospel.” The outlet completely washes over their behavior, saying they “sometimes” use “offensive language” and that their contribution to the death threats the teenagers received were merely “attention-grabbing tactics.”

The article goes on to say the group was once mentioned in a Kendrick Lamar rap. Way down in the article does it mention that even the radical left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center lists them as a “hate group.”

NBC: Nick Sandmann, a student at Covington Catholic, says he was a silent bystander in viral video. But his MAGA hat spoke for him.

Seriously. Inanimate objects can speak now. Not only that, but the author, Noah Berlatsky, goes into some heavy victim-blaming over what the kids were wearing. “Context is key; this is something both conservatives and liberals can agree on. But in this case, that context must include what the teens were wearing — and what that apparel has come to represent.”

So, she was asking for it wearing that short skirt.

The fact of the matter is that the Left decided that President Donald Trump’s campaign gear symbolized racism. If any other Republican had won the presidency, they would have done the same thing, because they wrongly believe Republicans are anti-everything but rich, white, straight men.

NBC, again: How the Covington Catholic boys were redeemed by the dark magic of crisis communications

“Dark magic”? We’re just a hop, skip, and a jump away from saying these kids are satanic preschool workers now. Bea Friedlander, the author, and much of the rest of the left-wing media, are upset that a teenager had help crafting his message for a media hellbent on seeing him violently attacked or worse.

The articles, like this one, talking about the public relations firm helping Nick Sandmann pretend it was just this messaging that turned the tide. Actually, it was the fact that more videos were released and showed that what Sandmann said happened actually happened, while what Nathan Phillips, the Native American protester in the videos, said happened, didn’t actually happen.

Washington Post: The face-off between Catholic school teens and a Native American elder is a reminder of 500 years of conflict

Washington Post and NBC have been the worst on this whole story, by far, and this is no exception. At this point, people are looking to cash-in on a single incident and draw meaning from it that was never there. This is the story of an elderly adult antagonizing a group of teenagers who didn’t know what to do in response, not some replay of the Trail of Tears.

CNN: MAGA hats don’t belong on a Catholic school trip

Another article condemning the boys for what they were wearing. “Short skirts don’t belong at co-ed parties.”

In the article, Father Edward Beck writes that it doesn’t matter if the kids were the aggressed, or who was in the wrong, they should have just taken the abuse and walked away. Oh, and they shouldn’t have been wearing those darn hats to begin with.

NBC, yet again: Nathan Phillips, Native American activist in D.C. standoff, forgives Catholic school students

Oh, he forgives them? It was Phillips who instigated the “standoff” with the teenagers, claiming he was trying to defuse the situation by banging a drum in a kid’s face while a member of his group yelled “go back to Europe” and celebrated as having “won” after the kids walked away to get on their bus. It was Phillips who has been smearing the kids across the left-wing media, calling them “beasts” and a “lynch mob.”

But now that the allegedly horrible “beast” has said nothing cruel and said he respects Phillips and would like to meet him, Phillips looks like the villain, and must save-face by appearing to be less hateful.

But he is not the one owed an apology. The kids of Covington Catholic are.
