It’s been said that, if not for double standards, the Left would have no standards at all. I offer a few examples, in no particular order, for your consideration.
We’ve survived the anniversary of the kerfuffle on 1/6/21, the worst event in US history since the Civil War, the 9/11 attacks, and the cancellation of the TV show “Firefly.”
Remember the anniversary of the storming of the Senate building on 10/4/18 during Justice Kavanagh’s hearings? What about the anniversary of the occupation of the Wisconsin State Capitol on 2/20/11?
Me either.
White officer Kim Potter accidentally shooting black criminal Daunte Wright, in the heat of the moment in MN, was in the news for months. Her use of her pistol instead of her Taser was portrayed as racist. She was convicted of manslaughter. Black lieutenant Michael Byrd shot and killed white unarmed Ashli Babbitt and his identity was withheld for months.
When it was finally revealed, there were no charges, no trial, no media cries for his failure to utilize the continuum of force for police, and no sanctions.
Lovely.
Media outlets are still reporting that Capitol officer Sicknick died as a result of the 1/6 event, rather than later from a stroke as the Medical Examiner stated.
The Tri-County Dems apparently can read minds (Laconia Sun 1/21). They know that the Capitol “rioters sought to kill elected leaders.”
How about when Madonna actually said that she wanted to blow up the White House after Trump was elected?
I also vaguely recall some actor suggesting sniping at the newly elected President. Were there Secret Service or FBI investigations? Seemingly not.
When the Left-leaning media “reported” on the shooting of Rep. Scalise and others at a Congressional baseball game (1/14/17), they ignored that the Sanders-supporting murderer asked if the players were Republican.
This same media reported that an (apparently unmanned?) SUV “accidentally” plowed into a Christmas parade in Waukesha. When the driver was finally identified, the story mostly faded away.
When a man took hostages at a Texas synagogue, threatened to blow up the buildings, and ranted about Jews, no one could surmise why he picked that building. A complete enigma.
Rest assured that we get all of the news that fits the narrative.
In a new National Geographic book by Kara Cooney, she states that Rittenhouse killed two black men “…while waging a glorious race war…” When confronted with that lie, well, she just made a mistake. Oopsie.
Any front-page reporting on that? You know the answer.
A snowstorm tied up miles of I95 in Virginia. The state seemed unable to assist for more than 24 hours. Do you know who the media blamed for the failure? Why, Glenn Youngkin, of course. One small problem: He wasn’t the governor yet. Ol’ Black-face Northam was still governor.
Think of this if you want more government in your life.
The media loves to conjure “white supremacists” committing attacks on Asians. When, as is frequently the case, the attacker is non-white (AP 10/27, NY Post 1/17), away goes the story.
Bob DeNiro shouted “F$&% Trump” at a sympathetic audience at the Tonys? Brave! Edgy! Regular people, who say “Let’s Go Brandon”? Deplorable. Childish.
Compare Time’s (are they really still in business?) covers of Biden after one year and Trump after one year. No hypocrisy to be seen.
