Thanks to the sloppy, one-sided
reporting of the malicious, agenda-driven media, a group of Catholic
high school teenagers and their families have become the subjects of
threats and harassment from a hateful online outrage mob. Their only
sins? Being white, Catholic, and supporters of the president.
The
full story has emerged in the wake of the fake news blitzkrieg over the
weekend, and the media outlets that spread defamatory smears against
the kids are now being warned to correct and retract their stories or
face a lawsuit. Contrary to the media's malicious narrative, the kids
were not racist rednecks mobbing a Native American elder with hateful
slurs. It was quite the opposite.
Los Angeles-based trial lawyer Robert Barnes offered to represent the Covington families for free should they decide to sue the New York Times.
I understate my role in things, but it’s true I was among the first to push back on the baited narrative.— Jeff Giesea🌿 (@jeffgiesea) January 22, 2019
To put this effort in infowar terms: We’ve used decentralized collective intelligence to counter disinfo from unknown actors that was amplified by media. #CovingtonCatholic https://t.co/ycPGeydnM3
The first clip I saw of the #CovingtonCatholic students was gross. But later video shows the older man approaching the students as they sang their school song.— Jeff Giesea🌿 (@jeffgiesea) January 19, 2019
We can talk about issues of respect and Gen Z, but I’m walking back my judgment for now. https://t.co/4rJGBwKGPi
