And I think what the left and the mainstream media don't realize is that this has become a joke among people like us.

Like, we pull out the lines in the New York Times report, in The Hill, in the ABC News broadcast.

We're copying and pasting them to each other, every line they write, where authorities are still searching for the motive.

And we're laughing about it because...

It is laughable.

It is laughable at this point.

Their failure to do their jobs and inform the public and the intentional obfuscation of the truth.

But that the real world consequences of that are exactly like it's not.

We do laugh about it and it is funny and you can only laugh.

But it's the kid who came up to the microphone, Megan, and cited that story about 70 percent of violence being committed by, quote, Republicans.

So first, he's not even getting the study right.

But second of all, it's because that study and studies like it were circulated widely in the, quote, mainstream media after what happened to Charlie, which is, first of all, just an insane thing to do.

But second of all, these studies were

insane methodologically.

Tim Carney fisked them in the Washington Examiner really effectively.

People should go check that out because it was fantastic.

But the journalists were repeating these studies because it confirmed their biases, confirmed their priors without even digging into the methodology and being like, holy smokes, this is deeply problematic.

There was no article in The Nation, the conservative equivalent of The Nation, after what happened to Melissa Hortman being like, well, she was pro-abortion.

So, hey, like that, that didn't happen.

And it really is about like someone was challenging me about this on social media.
