One Year Ago, The Media, Including the Usual Suspects In the NeverTrump Cult, Slandered the Covington Kids

This Reason piece by Robby Soave discusses not just the incident, and not just the media's retraction after it finally bothered to fact-check-- but the media's determination to revive the false claims days after the truth came out.

Nick Sandmann's lawyers, I'm sure, are looking at this same angle.

A Year Ago, the Media Mangled the Covington Catholic Story. What Happened Next Was Even Worse.

Journalists and pundits who frantically doubled down on their initial bad takes deserve more criticism.
...
[L]ess well remembered than the mainstream media's belated mea culpa was the absurd effort to re-legitimize the initial narrative.
On the next day, January 21, the New York Daily News published a contemptible hit piece attributed to its sports staff titled: "SEE IT: Covington Catholic High students in blackface at past basketball game." The first sentence read: "This won't help Nick Sandmann's case," as if the story was some sort of indictment of him. In fact, it had nothing to do with him, or any of his classmates at the Lincoln Memorial. The "blackface" incident was from a Covington basketball game years before, in which some attendees had painted themselves black to show school spirit. Ill-advised, in today's rage-charged climate? Sure. An example of racial harassment? Probably not. In either case, it had nothing to do with Sandmann.
Not to be outdone, Ben Kesslen of NBC News published a story the next day with the headline: "Gay valedictorian banned from speaking at Covington graduation 'not surprised' by D.C. controversy." Kesslen's piece included critical remarks from the gay valedictorian, as well as a local Native American activist group for good measure. The Covington kids "were not blameless," said the valedictorian. Readers who consumed the article too quickly may have missed that this student hailed from a different Covington school (albeit one in the same diocese), rendering his subjective impression of what may or may not have happened at the Lincoln Memorial fairly useless.

An eight second clip of boys who were not identified as being from Covington surfaced. The boys shouted something at a passer-by that was unintelligible.

So: Boys who were not from Covington, as far as we know, shouted something we don't understand at someone for reasons we also don't know.

This Hot New Evidence was immediately seized upon -- by people who should be in constant communication with their lawyers -- as smoking gun proof of... something.

For some reason, Vox's Emily Stewart embedded the short clip in her January 24 piece about Covington. This isn't even the most astonishing failing of the piece: She also uncritically cited Phillips throughout.
"Phillips told the Post that even before the confrontation, he and other Native American activists had issues with the students during the day," wrote Stewart. "And it wasn't just him and the Hebrew Israelites--a video surfaced on Twitter purporting to show the Covington boys harassing a group of girls as they walked by."
Stewart's piece is shockingly devoid of pushback, failing to note that Phillips' account was misleading—even though the piece was written four days after his narrative had fallen apart. She made note of my piece, and a few others from those in the Fox News orbit, but her bolded points were "We're probably never going to know exactly what happened on the Lincoln Memorial steps" and "These kids still don't look great."
On the latter point, she linked to a piece by Slate's Ruth Graham, who wrote, "There's no mistaking the core dynamics of the encounter: Sandmann smugly grins in Phillips's face and declines to step backward, and he's backed by dozens of boisterous teens who are jeering and mocking the much smaller group of Native marchers."
In a previous piece, she had referred to Sandmann's face as "punchable and untouchable." Her new piece contained no apology--indeed, she hardly changed her mind about him at all.

Not that it matters, but continuing to reassert a claim which harms someone's reputation, which you know to be factually false, satisfies the "malice" standard of defamation law.

And let's not forget the Usual Suspects of the for-paycheck-purposes-only pseudo-right who just had to rush to speech-patrol the right -- Jonah Goldberg, Rich Lowry, Ben Howe (who was actually in the midst of writing a trashgarbage book attacking the right for being too quick to socially shame strangers when he shamed Nick Sandmann), Ben Shapiro, National Review, and the #HotTake Emporium Twitchy.

Say, you guys are really into Social Shaming, right?

Right?

From The American Conservative-- will hundreds of millions in settlements force the media to change its behavior?

Spoiler: probably not.

The hope is that justice recognizes that a new media environment has emerged, one that drags innocent people onto the national stage unnecessarily in a way that is unethical and exploitative--and that even politicians, never mind the voters who select them, deserve factual reporting. But in the case of CNN and Nick Sandmann, it appears the network would rather pay out millions of dollars than see what a court would say.
That CNN has not made any noticeable changes in its obsessive stream of agenda journalism since the original incident a year ago, or since settling with Sandmann, suggests what they paid out is to them a reasonable price to continue to lie to the American public. Most MSM gave the settlement little or no coverage. CNN itself devoted 29 seconds to the story. Like botox, settlements are just another business expense.
...
The Founders assigned journalism a specific role to ensure that citizens would be able to carry out informed debates. Truth, they understood, is more than an ideal; it is a perspective. Yet over the last three years, serious journalism has all but been pushed aside in a rush to do away with Trump, not by honest persuasion but by any means necessary. Fear won out, and so objectivity is now #Collusion. Seeking facts before going viral is so 2015. The media gutlessly picks on kids because they can't get Trump. We asked for an informed citizenry and we instead got Mean Girls.

10 When people scratch their heads whenever Shapiro gets included in the Cvck Caucus, I always point to Covington. If they want another example, I point to him saying Kavanaugh's nomination should've been withdrawn. And if they need further proof, I point to the Rogan interview he did where he said he had no problem with open borders.

And if they still don't believe, they voted for McMuffin.

That was the worst. Those boys were there taking abuse because they believe in what the Church teaches about the value of life.

And then their own cowardly bishops threw them to the wolves instead of standing by them and praising them for making the trip to DC.

12 I really think the NROniks have no comprehension just how revealing it was that one of their editors immediate response was to freaking compare Catholic boys who took a trip to DC for the March for Life to those who killed Christ and accused them of effectively spitting on the cross.

Not to mention the utter and complete lack of an actual apology for what was said.

And then there was the attempt to memory hole that it happened and to act like NRO was always on the kids' side.

Yeah. Some of us remember what happened first. Because that is what you meant.

173 Attacking the Covington kids was an act of therapy for some of these turds. They've failed so much the last few years that I think it has truly caused some to descend into actual clinical insanity.

Trump and his following were supposed to be easy prey. We were stupid and strange and not pretty in face or word like Obama or Hollywood residents. First in the campaign, then in the early days after election and now. They needed and outlet and continue to do so.

When you hear a Bernie supporter laughingly endorse violenceand "re-education" it is no accident and it is not unrelated to Covington.

I think for myself it was the 'Fake, but accurate' line.

One of the weird things is, growing up, you have a tendency to view adults as truthful (this is just me speaking for myself, if you had a crappy upbringing, it would probably tilt you the other way.) You could somehow believe that Reagan's opponents were on the up and up, just disagreed with his methods.

I think this is due to when you are a child, you do not pick up on 'how' people say something or body language. Your Bullshit meter is not developed.

Looking back, these assholes were just as bad- one might argue worse since fat fuck Ted Kennedy was conspiring with an actual murderous totalitarian regime to interfere in our elections. Or the swarm of immigration to change the electorate.

Ted Kennedy, you were a despicable excuse for a human being and a disgrace.

255 I do not want to spend the day after my only child's 30th birthday, cleaning up the guest bath.
Is that too damned much to ask?

I'm not kidding. We host 60-80 people for the roast. My husband's brother got so drunk at one three years ago, he insulted everyone. No One Likes Him.

And the guy's fourth wife is sweet and a total wimp.

Ugh. My life sucks right now.

State point blank that if the brother is coming, your fee for gritting your teeth and bearing it is a cleaning service to come in the next day to clean top to bottom.

257 235 What happened to the Ed Buck + Adam Schiff BFFZ 4EVZ photos we were promised?
Posted by: boulder t'hobo at January 21, 2020 07:40 PM (ykYG2)

Did you see the pictures leaked of Ed Buck's drug den with Ed, young drugged up black boys, and one picture that looked like Obama with the face blurred out. Dropped on /pol/.

He's never apologized to me, and my wimpy husband didn't demand he do so. But my son said, "Mom, I'm sorry my uncle is a total asshole."

Posted by: Jane D'oh at January 21, 2020 07:38 PM (ptqGC)

PLEASE tell me he said that in front of uncle cockweasel. Because he should've said that in front of the cockweasel.

Let us not forget in this Hall of Shame the eclair-spined Archdiocese of Covington for piling on in the feeding frenzy.

In times of persecution, God may have your back, but not the Church.

264 When my mom "went home to the Lord", I became free. Only those siblings that treated me with civility remain in contact.

When my wife died and went to Heaven, same thing with her side. Some are cut out, many remain.

Tell your husband that the jackass and his wife can only come to the shindig if the jackass agrees to pay for a range day for everyone.

270 >>>Jane, we pick our friends, but not our family. But assholes at a certain point oughtta be cut loose, family, or friend.

I haven't spoken to my brother since 2013 after he and my aunt embarrassed my mother at my father's funeral. They had me, my sister and mother sit a few rows back and none of us were allowed to speak. His new wife did all the talking.

273 Shapiro states here that he extensively advised the Covington kids, FWIW (go to 28:29 in the video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge_RUxBTHN4&t=1016s

Someone claimed that he urged Kavanaugh's nomination to be withdrawn. A google search will show that this simply is not true. He did have concerns about Kavanaugh not being sufficiently conservative BEFORE the nomination.

274 Robby Suave's most despicable moment was when he suggested Kavanaugh withdraw. Chris Buskirk of American Greatness tore the little cuck a new one over that.

278 Among other things, these clowns know their market.
I have friends, and relations, who were slavering over this, and Smollett. And who still insist Trayvon Martin was a twelve year old choir boy. And, back in the day, figured Crystal Mangum was the victim.
Worst thing, for our nation, is that these cases were used to throw the most horrible accusations at the rest of us.
None of which will be retracted nor apologized for.

279 Any settlement that does not result in the loss of 50% of the value for the stockholders of Disney for owning ABC is not enough. The media thought it was nothing when the corporate shield was broken in the Dow/Dow Corning case over breast implants. Stockholders need to be taught that big corporations that buy news media companies have acquired an enormously expensive liability.
The current situation allows enemies of our country to buy our news media. Who funds the Mexican oil guy keeping the New York Times in afloat?

280 It was National Review's trashing of the Covington Catholic kids & subsequent non-apology that brought me to the decision to let a 35 year subscription lapse.

281 My husband and I worked through all of the modules together, and our marriage is stronger for it. I would encourage any one who is poor to contact LORD SAN now. It was the best move in my marriage to contact this temple for financial help, worth every penny and more I spent to get this Money spell done by LORD SAN! I have bought my second car after buying my house last month. Thank you, Lord SAN!Website; https://thetempleofmoney.com/ Email: info@thetempleofmoney.com WHATSAPP MESSAGE/CALL: +447482854279 for quicker response. That was what my husband and I did because we have suffered allot in poverty. I am so grateful.
