The media needs to ignore 'Lincoln' liars
|
[NYPOST] On Friday, five young Democratic operatives toting tiki torches attempted a white-supremacist hoax on Glenn Youngkin, the dark-horse Republican gubernatorial candidate in Virginia who is panicking his Democratic opponent, Terry McAuliffe.
There they stood in the pouring rain next to a Youngkin campaign bus looking suitably ashamed in their neo-Nazi
...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both....
disguises.
Continued from Page 6
The anti-Trump Lincoln Project took the blame for the fraud, which has been dubbed Tikigate.
But it sure looked like a McAuliffe operation; at least two members of the group have been identified online as working for Virginia Democrats.
McAuliffe spokeswoman Christina Freundlich was quick to retweet a photo of the Tiki Five: "This is who Glenn Youngkin’s supporters are."
Her colleague Jen Goodman tweeted: "This is disgusting and disqualifying" for Youngkin.
Democratic strategist Max Burns tweeted that the image proved Youngkin’s campaign "counts white supremacists among its most enthusiastic supporters."
Left-wing media operatives energetically spread the lie on social media, but when the farcical hoax was exposed later in the day, tweets were suddenly deleted, accounts were set to private, and the Lincoln Project narrative emerged.
The next day, The New York Times
... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
, The Washington Post and CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network . Now who knows what it might stand for...
either ignored or made misleading claims about one of the most damaging acts of self-harm by a political campaign in living memory.
The Times published a shameful column downplaying the rape of a 15-year-old girl in a school bathroom in Virginia and a snarky piece portraying Youngkin as a closet Trumper, but nothing on Tikigate.
In the WaPo, once you scrolled past all the Trump clickbait, there was a single Tikigate story blaming the Lincoln Project — if you can call it blame. The WaPo explained that the racist hoax really was a noble stunt to draw attention to the white-supremacist tendencies of Youngkin and his supporters. Huh?
Just as with the "fine people" smear against Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
, the Jan. 6 riot which had nothing to do with "white supremacy
...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values...

...Cable TV actor whose primary talents seemed to be being black and being homosexual. In a bid for national attention, he paid a pair of Nigerian brothers to rough him up a little so he could claim that two large, white, MAGA hat-wearing men had shouted This is MAGA country! while thumping him at 2:30am on a bitter cold night in Chicago and throwing bleach on him, presumably to lighten him up. The story quickly unraveled, and he became a laughingstock and the poster boy for pretend victimization and attention whoredom...
and "Covington kids" race hoaxes, leftist media lapped up the story with wilful naivete and promoted it to a willing audience.
This is one reason leftists ultimately are doomed in this country. They are flying blind in a fog of delusion, unaware of half of what goes on, while conservatives are forced to imbibe left-wing news along with their preferred media, so end up knowing exactly what the enemy is thinking.
The only solution for the left is to try to destroy or censor conservative media outlets.
A prime example was the censoring of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden

But smaller outlets are vulnerable to attacks on their advertising base and can be hounded out of business by a few malicious actors.
That is what has been happening to The Post Millennial and its crime news hound, Andy Ngo, who has been physically attacked and driven out of his hometown of Portland
 ...a formerly lovely city in Oregon, governed by an unholy alliance of communists, anarchists, and incompetents. In 2017 the city was named as the fifth most business-friendly in the nation. It took only three years for the city to degenerate to the point where it became a national embarrassment, with antifa and Black Lives Matter bullying taxpayers and occasionally shooting one as an example to the others...
, Ore., over his fearless reporting on Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
Two hard-left activists have been targeting TPM’s advertisers: self-described Antifa member Chad Loder and Nandini Jammi, who is behind the anti-conservative outfits Sleeping Giants and Check My Ads.
The pair told advertisers that TPM is Ngo’s personal alt-right "disinfo site" where he promotes neo-Nazis, "incites violence" and supports violent mostly peaceful right-wing gunnies and white supremacists. All lies, but cowardly firms pulled their ads, including Surfshark, Monday.com, RingCentral, Logitech, Triple Lift, OpenWeb, and SimpliSafe.
"Others have been targeted, and that is ongoing," says editor-in-chief Libby Emmons. "We are standing up for Andy, but we are small and this is hurting us."
The jihad against Ngo began on Sept. 3, after he tweeted about a temporary restraining order issued against Loder, 45, in an Los Angeles court.
On Sept. 9, Loder tweeted: "Hey @surfshark, why do you run ads on a site run by Andy Ngo? He works with Proud Boys and Capitol rioters to target journalists with death threats."
It was a lie and Loder deleted it, but Surfshark still buckled.
Loder messaged TPM’s publisher, Matthew Azrieli, on Sept. 17 demanding he "censure and fire your editor-at-large Andy Ngo."
Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, another bullet hole appeared in Butch's hat......
Jammi was writing to advertisers, falsely claiming that TPM "features content by neo-Nazis," and Ngo "directs harm" toward Haitian refugees and "has assembled kill lists of journalists and activists for Atomwaffen, a violent mostly peaceful neo-Nazi organization."
"They’re trying to cancel me in any way possible in the digital world and the real-life world with real-life manifestations of violence," Ngo said by phone from an unspecified country.
"To make me appear as far right or a fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
makes liberals or people on the center-left disregard my reporting."
Gay and Asian-American, Ngo calls himself a "small ’l’ liberal."
"I think freedom of speech is for everyone, but Antifa thinks the right should not only not have a voice but be subject to violence."
Ngo’s trials began in 2019, when he was attacked by an Antifa mob and sustained a brain injury. Last week, a Portland Antifa member finally was indicted over the incident.
As Emmons says, "Andy is a crime writer and people . . . commit crimes trying to stop him from reporting their crimes."
If center-right media outlets such as TPM aren’t able to continue reporting without fear or favor, we all will end up flying blind in a fog of delusion.
