Of all the willful lies and omissions in the media's coverage of the Steele
dossier, Brian Sicknick, the Covington kids, Jussie Smollett, the Wuhan lab,
Hunter Biden’s laptop and so on, nothing beats the evil propaganda peddled
about Kyle Rittenhouse.
They try to make the Rittenhouse case about race, but it's about class,
punching down at the white working-class son of a single mother because they
don't see him as fully human, and it makes them feel good.
They lie about him because they can.
The central media narrative is that Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist
whose mother drove him across state lines with an AR-15 to shoot Black Lives
Matter protesters. All lies.
"A white, Trump-supporting, MAGA-loving Blue Lives Matter social media
partisan, 17 years old, picks up a gun, drives from one state to another wit
the intent to shoot people," was typical from John Heilemann, MSNBC's
national affairs analyst.
1. He killed two black BLM protesters. All three of the men he shot in self-
defense during violent riots in Kenosha on Aug. 25 last year were white.
2. He crossed state lines. He lived 20 miles from Kenosha in Antioch, Ill.,
with his mother and sisters. But his father, grandmother, aunt, uncle,
cousins and best friend live in Kenosha. He had a job as a lifeguard i
Kenosha and
worked a shift on Aug. 25 before helping clean graffiti left by rioters at a
local school. There, he and his friend were invited to join other adults who
had been asked by the owners of a used car lot in Kenosha to guard the
property after 100 cars had been torched the previous night, when police
abandoned the town to rioters. Kyle took his gun to protect himself, since
the rioters were violent and armed, including, for instance, Antifa medi
Gaige
Grosskreutz, who lunged at him with a loaded Glock pointed at his head befor
he was shot in the arm.
3. Rittenhouse took an AR-15 across state lines. Esquire accused him of
"terrorist tourism". False. His rifle was kept in a safe at his best friend'
stepfather's house in Kenosha.
4. The gun was illegal. Wrong. Under Wisconsin law, he was entitled to
possess the AR-15 as a 17-year-old. The judge dismissed the gun charge, whic
the
prosecution never should have brought.
5. Rittenhouse's mother drove him across state lines to the riot. Wendy
Rittenhouse, 46, never went to Kenosha. She slept late the morning of Aug. 2
after working a 16-hour shift at a nursing home near her home in Antioch, sh
told the Chicago Tribune. Kyle had already gone to his job in Kenosha when
she woke up.
You mean Hutt has been bald-faced lying all week every time he's saidossier, Brian Sicknick, the Covington kids, Jussie Smollett, the Wuhan lab,

she woke up.
Rittenhouse's mother drove him to Wisconsin?
You mean he was *already in* Wisconsin working a legitimate job all day befor
the riot occurred? And that his gun was never in Illinois and never crossed
state line?
Wow, you'd never know that from the lying media and the lying Hutts and Pig
of the world.
6. He was an "active shooter" who took his gun to a riot looking for trouble
"A 7-year-old kid just running around shooting and killing protesters," said
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, "who drove across state lines with an AR-15 and
started shooting people up." On Friday, after evidence in court already had
debunked his talking points, Scarborough called Rittenhouse a "self-appointe
militia member... unloading 60 rounds." When the defense called out the li
in
closing arguments, Scarborough had the gall to tweet that he was
"embarrassed" for the lawyer.
7. Rittenhouse is a "white supremacist", as then-candidate Joe Biden labeled
him in a tweet showing the teenager's photograph. When White House press
secretary Jen Psaki was asked to explain why recently, she slyly slimed
Rittenhouse again, without naming him, as a "vigilante".
In one story, the Intercept used the term "white supremacist" 16 times. The
accusation has become holy writ, but there is zero evidence. The FBI scoured
Kyle's phone and found nothing about white supremacy or militias, the court
heard. All they saw were pro-police, "Blue Lives Matter" posts from a kid who
had been a police and fire department cadet, wanted to be a police officer or
paramedic and once sat near the front of a Trump rally. That was enough for
the media to brand him a white supremacist.
8. He "flashed white power signs" with Proud Boys. After spending three
months in jail, Kyle was freed on $2 million bail two days after his 18th
birthday
last year, and went to a bar for a beer, with his mother and other adults,
which is legal in Wisconsin. He posed for selfies with strangers at the bar,
who the media say are Proud Boys, and was pictured making the okay sign with
his thumb and forefinger. The false claim that this is a white supremacist
sign
comes from a 2017 hoax on the website 4chan, to punk liberals, who keep
falling for it. Biden uses the gesture frequently. It was unwise to pose for
the photo, but it does not mean Kyle is associated with white supremacists.
9. He wore surgical gloves "to cover his fingerprints". This pearl was spread
by Matthew Modine, another celebrity bigmouth. Kyle wore gloves because he
was giving first aid to protesters. His face was bare, so he was hardly
hiding.
10. Judge Bruce Schroeder is a "Trumpy" racist biased toward the defense.
This slur is based on the fact he would not let the prosecution use the term
"victim"-- common practice when the jury has not ruled on a case. He told a
lame joke about Asian food for lunch being held up by the supply-chain
crisis, and his phone's ring tone sounds like a 1980s ditty played at Trump
rallies.
Ridiculous. In fact, Schroeder is a Democrat, has run as a Democrat for the
Wisconsin Senate and was first appointed by a Democratic governor.
Bias was also perceived in what the Chicago Tribune said was his "highly
unusual" decision to allow Kyle to draw names randomly out of a container at
the end of the trial to determine which 12 of the 18 jurors would decide his
fate. It's something this judge always does, he told the court.
On the second day of jury deliberations Wednesday, the judge railed against
media distortions, although he seemed most aggrieved about attacks on his
reputation, rather than Kyle's. He threatened to stop trials from being
televised, but that's exactly the wrong solution.
Only because the public was able to hear the evidence for themselves did they
become aware of the malevolent dishonesty of the media coverage.

If the trial hadn't been televised and the *actual* evidence presented to the
public, most would have just lapped up the pablum presented to them by CNN and
MSNBC and swallowed their lies completely.
