America's Most Gullible Journalist: 'Visit Portland!'


Ann Coulter  "The entire mainstream media (plus Fox News!) have been assuring us that Portland was a tranquil town, with the occasional peaceful protest … until President Trump’s storm troopers showed up and turned it into a war zone.
"This portrayal contrasts markedly with videos that have been posted on Twitter every night for more than two months now, especially by @MrAndyNgo, showing helmeted psychotics hurling Molotov cocktails at the police, among other acts of mindless destruction.
"Whom to believe? Videos of the riots? Or smug journalists telling us that they saw nothing untoward?
"Luckily, there’s the Newspaper of Record to give us the truth. Unluckily, The New York Times sent … Nicholas Kristof, aka the most easily fooled journalist in America.
"Kristof assured Times readers that the Portland crowds are “entirely peaceful,” until around 11 p.m., when “some protesters begin to shoot fireworks or set small trash fires.”

"Small trash fires."

"Also: the federal courthouse, the Justice Center offices, statues, the Portland police union hall, and a decapitated pig’s head, among other arsons.

"But Kristof also dismissively remarked: “No, they’re not trying to burn down the federal courthouse.” Do not trust the dozens of videos showing protesters trying to burn down the federal courthouse.
Kristof

"He further reports that — just as MSNBC has said! — “the most violent behavior overwhelmingly comes from the federal agents.”
"So there you have it. You can believe the man who said, “Mao’s legacy is not all bad,” or you can believe your lying eyes." . . .

Samples of Mr. Kristof's work: Nicholas Kristof: In Portland’s so-called war zone, it’s the troops who provide the menace

New York Times Columnist Parrots North Korean Propaganda from Pyongyang
. . . "Now columnist Nicholas Kristof is going for the Walter Duranty Useful Idiot Lifetime Achievement Award by filing a string of Instagram posts that cheerfully and uncritically repeat North Korean propaganda." . . .

Kristof’s Dinner With Islamists  . . . "According to Kristof’s hosts, the Brotherhood is a feminist, democratic and non-violent movement that wouldn’t think of imposing its views on its fellow citizens or breaking the peace treaty with Israel. " . . .

Nicholas Kristof: Lazy or Dishonest?  . . . "And just when you think you’ve plumbed the depths of Kristof’s fatuity, you encounter this gem: “extra credit goes to a country that so lovingly preserves old American cars.” It’s like praising Nicolás Maduro for helping the Venezuelan people to lose so much weight over the last couple of years."
