Press failed Covington Catholic kids, Internet saved them . . . "But the Indian, Nathan Phillips, is not a Vietnam veteran. Don Shipley, a former Navy SEAL who routinely outs fake warriors checked the man out." . . .Phillips is a bully. The press was his accomplice. Reporters in Washington love to preen about their importance and brag about how they hold the powerful accountable.
But a group of Catholic boys waiting for their bus were taunted first by a group of black nationalists, and then by Chief Annoying Orange, and the media did not call out the grownups. The media attacked the boys who turned the other cheek and held their tongues in a very Christian manner.
Now the truth has come out -- no thanks to the press.
In fact, despite the press.
Investors Business Daily: Apologies Aren't Enough After The Covington And BuzzFeed Media Fiascos "Media Malpractice: In the span of a couple [of] days, the mainstream press pushed two stories that caused a flurry of outrage. Neither was true. Both were the direct result of the media's pathological hatred of President Donald Trump." . . .

Thomas Lifson: Libels of and threats to Covington Kids will face Kentucky justice
. . . "There no doubt is – and properly so – a high bar necessary to meet the standards of a terroristic threat. But, having seen only a sample of hateful tweets directed at the Covington Kids, it is quite possible that one or more individuals, traceable to their own twitter accounts, have met the legal test." . . .
. . . "The other avenue for legal redress is libel suits." . . . Emphasis mine, TD
People who want to put kids in a wood chipper should maybe be on the no-fly list
. . . "As the left loves to say, "this is a teachable moment." Well, the leftists got that right, because it is finally time to teach all to finally put a stop to such horrible Orwellian minutes of hate.
"The other great leftist dodge is that "we need a conversation about" [name the issue]. . . ."
Selwyn Duke: The Ultimate Irony of the 'Native American Elder' and the MAGA Hat Kids . . . "But something occurs to me here: If the Indians had effective border security, perhaps they wouldn’t have been overrun and conquered." . . .
Demonizing Catholic Schoolboys . . . "From CNN, Ana Navarro called the boys’ parents “asswipes” for teaching them “bigotry and racism” and Bakari Sellers suggested that Sandmann deserved to be punched in the face. Other reporters accused the kids of being Nazis and white nationalists. None of the accusers bothered to gather any facts first.
"Afraid they may miss the virtue signaling bandwagon, many John McCain-type conservative pundits leaped to join the smear campaign. National Review’s Nicholas Frankovich, Ben Shapiro, S.E. Cupp, Bill Kristol, and McCain’s daughter Meghan were among those quick to believe the worst of the pro-life, conservative teens and excoriate them. Frankovich accused them of “spitting on the cross”. If ever conservatives needed an event to smoke out the true nature of fake commentators on the right, this was it." . . .
Wacky American Indian protester says Covington student 'stole his narrative'
. . . "The 17-year-old Sandmann is getting a master class in the audacity and malice of left-wing terrorists like Phillips." . . .
Monica Showalter: Covington Catholic diocese sticks to its calumny against its kids
. . . But what isn't good is the embrace of the dishonest narrative from the kids' own school and their own Catholic diocese, falsely condemning them in some amazing public calumny they have yet to retract." . . .
Ms. Showalter's words, not mine: . . . "If they don't, they're just molesting the kids another way." . . .
The Detroit Free Press's alternative facts about Nathan Phillips . . . "I don't care if Debbie Dingell and the mayor of Ypsilanti, Michigan (where Phillips lives) vouch for Phillips. He's exposed himself as a liar, and for the sake of getting publicity for himself, a lot of innocent people are going to be harmed. The Detroit Free Press, and its reporter, Niraj Warikoo, who, rather than report the facts, took dictation from an activist with an agenda and then presented it as truth, is responsible for spreading this fire."
NBC's Savannah Guthrie interviewed Sandmann, which gave rise to the expected,,,here it comes...wait for it . . . comparisons to Hitler!
. . . "After he approached the boys and became the central figure in the viral video, Phillips reportedly helped lead his activist group to crash the Saturday Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
"NBC's announcement Tuesday that they interviewed Sandmann was met with outrage online. Some examples highlighted by Daily Wire's Josh Hammer which include comparing the high school boy to Hitler and racist mass murder Dylann Roof:
