“Weaponized news”

Because you can’t link directly to an individual post by Ace:

No, Media and Left, the Zimmerman Case Had Nothing to Do With “Stand Your Ground” Laws

“If that law was at play, they sure kept it a secret at the murder trial. You’d think they might have mentioned it once or twice.

This is all part and parcel of the left’s and the media’s (but I repeat myself) pathological need to weaponize the news for political purposes.

News is never viewed as simply news; it is always viewed as an angle for agitprop. And thus we continue to hear chatter over Stand Your Ground laws — a political hot-button — in connection with the Zimmerman case despite the fact (if we still even care about such stupid things as facts) that the case simply had nothing to do with Stand Your Ground at all.

And we’ll continue hearing about it, because what we call “The News” is just a flag of convenience for leftist ships smuggling weaponized memes to their partisans in the American Cold Civil War.”

Yep.
Yep.
