The problem with spreading false narratives in criminal cases

Should Kimmel have been shitcanned? I won’t comment on that. But his comments regarding Kirk’s shooter are irresponsible.

In high profile criminal cases like this, spreading false narrative taints a potential jury and complicates prosecution. A real headache for the legal system.

Probably best to leave the early speculation and conspiracies to the internet trolls rather than bring them to the mainstream.

Trump does this all the time and the left (and many on the right) understand the damage this does. To lament Kimmel getting suspended for spreading misinformation is a bit like the pot and the kettle.

It's interesting because the Liberal left used to pride itself on being well informed and pushing facts not propaganda.

Not so in the Trump years.

To be fair, this was initiated during the Obama administration when you saw the MSM work hand in hand with Obama to spread misinformation.

You had the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown cases, the extra judicial assassination of an American in Yemen, the overthrow of 3 Muslim governments, with a fourth(Syria) coming to fruition in the last year or so.

You had the lies about the pallet of cash NOT being a bribe sent to the Republican National Guard.

And finally, it was Obama's own intelligence agencies that invented and spread the Russiagate hoax.

This was overlooked and ignored by people like you.

In the past 10 years we have had multiple propaganda hoaxes perpetuated by the media including:

The Russiagate hoax
The safety and efficacy of the mRNA Covid vaccines.
The source of Covid 19
The true nature of Hunter Biden's latop
Joe Biden's obvious dementia and illness being overlooked and shouted down by the media.

This bill has been long overdue.

@SumKindaMunster I couldn't have said it better myself.Its funny how the progressives were not so concerned with free speech during the 2020 COVID era,when people were being fired , harassed and canceled simply for saying things that were common sense .Free speech has never been an unrestricted right ;there can an should be consequences for saying something totally outrageous.And as far as Jimmy Kimmel goes : it's acceptable to have an opinion about someone you may disagree with ,but it's NOT acceptable to blatantly lie to your audience when you are fully aware that you are lying.

@DavidT8899

,but it's NOT acceptable to blatantly lie to your audience when you are fully aware that you are lying.

Indeed.

That's the part that people don't understand. Those lies by him and people like him are what led to the environment that got Kirk assassinated.

Thanks for your support! 🤝

@SumKindaMunster well, you lost me here.

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@trollslayer Interesting. Nobody else had that problem. What was the issue, do you think?

trollslayer · 46-50, M

@SumKindaMunster lbut it's NOT acceptable to blatantly lie to your audience when you are fully aware that you are lying.“

Well, that is whah *you* are doing.

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@trollslayer Nonsense. Everything I posted is true and easy to verify.

DavidT8899 · 22-25, M

@SumKindaMunster Yeah,I would like Trollslayer to explain exactly what he thinks you were lying about.

trollslayer · 46-50, M

@DavidT8899 The Russiagate hoax
The safety and efficacy of the mRNA Covid vaccines.
The source of Covid 19

DavidT8899 · 22-25, M

@trollslayer Ok,your point ?But in all fairness ,since you directed your original post at SumKindaMunster,you might be better off replying to him directly.

DavidT8899 · 22-25, M

@trollslayer And when I posted Ok,your point ,I was referring to the fact that all of the events you listed clearly were either outright hoaxes or at least partially based on lies .People were censored or " canceled " for contesting them .

DavidT8899 · 22-25, M

@trollslayer But again ,you'd be better off talking to Munster directly ; he's the one you originally posted to .

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@trollslayer So your issue is ultimately, that you don't agree with my statement that these are media hoaxes. You have a different opinion on those, I presume?

trollslayer · 46-50, M

@SumKindaMunster it’s not a matter of opinion. They aren't media hoaxes.

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@trollslayer K. I guess you can't articulate it any more than that, huh?

DavidT8899 · 22-25, M

@SumKindaMunster I suspect that he realizes that what he is asserting is simply wrong and won't hold up under serious debate or scrunuty.
