"The Fake News Media, the Democrats and the left generally are in panic mode working to spread lies about Charlie Kirk . . ."

The Fake News Media, Democrats and Radical Left are Lying about Charlie Kirk   "Leftist political violence is on the rise with Fake News Media, Democrat politicians, activists and the far left using more and more radical, violent rhetoric. I wrote about the violent rhetoric (and leftist political violence) on this substack, several times (see also here and here). I also observed previously that the far left consider political violence a tool and that the violent rhetoric serves to “trigger” the radical leftist fringe into acting out violence. The visceral response Americans had to the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk only days ago made the media, Democrats and their enablers “circle the wagons” and start fabricating lies and misinformation about Charlie Kirk. I debunk a couple of the nastier lies in this article." . . .

BEGONE!

Probably the worst crime a journalist can commit is attributing to someone a statement–putting it in quotation marks–that the person never said. That would get you fired from a 9th grade student paper.   

But Attiah did not quote Kirk’s “own words on record.” His own words didn’t give her the ammunition she needed, so she fabricated a fake quote, for which she was fired. Amazingly, you can read the entire Times article without being told that this was her offense.

The New York Times exists for the sole purpose of misinforming its readers. The good news is that hardly anyone still takes that paper seriously. The Times’s long record of fabrication and misinformation has caught up with it.

"Is this an example of a type of journalism where you confront someone with a rumor and get a denial which is then the printable story, that X denied the rumor?"  "I ask Grok, after getting it to summarize a Daily Beast article titled "White House Insists Stephen Miller Does Not Play With Dolls" (which I won't link to because it's behind a pay wall and even if it weren't, I don't think you should go there).

"Grok: "Yes, this article is an example of a journalistic practice sometimes referred to as 'rumor-based reporting' or 'denial-driven journalism.'..."

"Another prompt: "What are some examples of famous people who have been defined by rumors — the rumors stick as meaning something even when they are not proved or even regarded as likely?"

"I expected Richard Gere and I got him... along with Walt Disney's frozen head."

..."The race was close and Johnson (LBJ) was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumour campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.
“Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-f*cker,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”
“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the - sob - deny it.”
