False News Mainstream Media By Bruce Bennett

    Here is a story where the mainstream media, eager to try and do another right wing car attack story, screwed up multiple times, and still kept screwing up.

“NPR has altered an article after they were busted using a misleading photo of a 'vehicle ramming' in Louisville to make the claim that 'right-wing extremists' are targeting protesters with cars. Here's what actually happened - the driver of the car, a woman with dreadlocks, was attacked by the 'peaceful' protesters, one of whom reportedly pulled a gun on her - and another who was struck as she accelerated to escape: The driver of the vehicle came forward and won't face charges, while two of the protesters have been arrested. The incident near 6th and Liberty streets during the Wednesday morning rush was captured on a real-time crime camera. Police said protesters had blocked the intersection, standing in front of the woman’s car with a megaphone. During a verbal altercation between the driver and the protesters, someone ripped out one of the driver’s dreadlocks. When someone pulled a gun, the driver sped off and struck a protester. When she stopped at a red light a block later, someone pointed a gun at her. Police said that man was 21-year-old Darius Anderson, who allegedly passed the gun off to 19-year-old Brioanna Richards. Both are charged with rioting, disorderly conduct and obstructing a highway. NPR deleted their tweet and changed the photo in the article to a 3-year-old image of the Charlottesville vehicle ramming.”

     Incredible stuff, but that is how the mainstream media operate, and sometimes they get caught out, beautifully.
