The Mainstream Media is a Propaganda Machine
The Mainstream Media is one of the biggest threats to our society.
It most certainly lies to us, gaslights us, brainwashes us, indoctrinates us and hates us.
Unfortunately, many of you trust the Mainstream Media, and believe it has your best interest in mind.
But my response to you is that you are greatly underestimating the propaganda power of the Mainstream Media.
Moreover, in this article, I am going to show you examples that prove the Mainstream Media influences through lies.
Consequently, your eyes will open up, and like me, you will question everything the Mainstream Media tells you going forward.
The Mainstream Media Lied About Kyle Rittenhouse
So I recently wrote an article about the Kyle Rittenhouse situation, arguing how self-defense is not a sin.
As a result, many people were angry.
Moreover, the angry people felt that way because they didn’t know the facts.
Many of them argued that his mother drove him there, that he was illegally carrying a weapon, that the people shot were black, that the people shot never provoked Kyle, and several other lies.
Of course, all of these are objectively false. The question is: Where did people get these false ideas?
Well, the Mainstream Media manufactured these false claims and spread them as propaganda.
In the following sections I will list the lies, where they come from (if possible), and refute them with the truth.
Lie 1: Kyle Rittenhouse’s Mother Drove Him and His Gun Across State Lines
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said Kyle “drove across state lines with an ar-15 and started shooting people up.”
Joy Behar, of The View, also claimed the Kyle went across state lines with his mom and the gun.
Esquire referred to the Kenosha shootings as “terrorist tourism.”
Fact(s):
Actually, Kyle Rittenhouse’s mother lived about 20 minutes from Kenosha, and she didn’t drive him.
His father, other family, and best friend all lived in Kenosha.
Kyle drove himself to visit his friend in Kenosha on the day of the shooting.
Moreover, Kyle’s best friend owned and held the gun in his home in Kenosha, WI.
Lie 2: Kyle Rittenhouse Shot 60 Rounds
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said that Kyle was a “self-appointed militia member … unloading 60 rounds.”
Fact(s):
Actually, Kyle shot 8 rounds total – 4 at Rosenbaum, 2 at an unidentified man, 1 at Huber and 1 at Grosskreutz.
Lie 3: Kyle Rittenhouse Killed Black Peaceful BLM Protestors
The Independent originally reported that Rittenhouse shot 3 black men.
Fact(s):
Actually, Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 white men, killing 2.
Regarding the 3 men shot, each were criminals.
Joseph Rosenbaum was a child molester who molested at least 5 children.
Anthony Huber was charged with choking his brother.
Gaige Grosskreutz also has a violent criminal past, beating his grandmother, for instance.
Lie 4: Kyle Rittenhouse is a White Supremacist
MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross, The Intercept and Joe Biden called Rittenhouse and his supporters “white supremacists.”
MSNBC’s Joy Reid called Kyle an “armed teenage vigilante” and also made fun of his “male white tears.“
Brian Tyler Cohen, of No Lie, tweeted that Tucker Carlson gave “cover to a white nationalist who murdered two people.”
CNN’s Ana Navarro-Cardenas tweeted “Innocent people…in Wisconsin, are being targeted and terrorized AND MURDERED by white supremacist teen-agers with big…guns.”
Fact(s):
Their “proof” that Kyle is a white supremacist was that he was at a bar making an “ok” hand gesture while other men sang a Proud Boys song.
That’s just ridiculous. This claim is nothing more than slander.
Lie 5: Kyle Rittenhouse Illegally Carried the AR-15
Politifact said it was illegal for Kyle to open carry his rifle.
Fact(s):
Actually, a 17 year old can legally open carry a rifle in Wisconsin.
Lie 6: Kyle Rittenhouse was at the BLM Riot Looking for Trouble – He Was Trying to be a Cop
The Daily Beast called Kyle a “Blue Lives Matter fanatic.”
The New York Times said that Kyle “lionized the police” and “showed strong support for officers.”
They are basically arguing that Kyle showed up to Kenosha, roleplaying as a cop.
Fact(s):
Actually, Kyle was in Kenosha administering first aid, defending private property, and putting out fires.
Lie 7: Kyle Rittenhouse is a Murderer
Young Turks claimed that Kyle “murdered a couple people.”
CBS Mornings claimed that Kyle testified that he “murdered two men” during the trial.
CNN quoted a New York Times Magazine reporter who said that Tucker Carlson “justified murder” when Tucker defended Kyle.
Politfact, NPR and AP said Donald Trump lied when Trump said Kyle was trying to get away from protestors, fell, and shot in self-defense.
Fact(s):
Kyle Rittenhouse being a murderer is the biggest false claim, and is why he went to trial.
First, Joseph Rosenbaum was the one that was being aggressive.
When Kyle was alone, Rosenbaum chased him down, threw something at him, and then grabbed his gun.
After shooting Rosenbaum, Kyle tried to get help. And while going for help the mob chased him.
Then after Kyle fell, a man tried to kick Kyle:
And another, Anthony Huber, tried to beat Kyle in the head with a skateboard.
USA Today said that Huber “may have been ‘trying to save somebody.'” (Technically Lie 8).
Does this look like Huber is trying to save someone or beat Kyle with a skateboard while he is on the ground?
Fact(s): It’s the latter:
And another got really close to Kyle and pulled his gun on him:
Gaige Grosskreutz even admitted to pointing a gun at Kyle on the stand in court.
So it should be obvious from these videos and pictures that 4 men attacked Kyle.
Kyle shot at all 4 of them, but he missed the jump kick man.
And 2 of the 3 that Kyle did successfully shoot, died.
But all 3 men that Kyle shot attacked Kyle first, so this was clearly self-defense, and not murder.
The Mainstream Media and Kyle Rittenhouse Conclusion
In conclusion, if after all of this, you are still unconvinced, then watch the trial.
The jury found him not guilty for good reasons.
After watching the the trial, I am certain the jury made the right decision.
Moreover, I am certain that the Mainstream Media is overrun by lying hatemongers.
May God have mercy on them!
And you may be wondering: Why is this posted on a site called The Catholic State?
Well, as Christians we are called to admonish those that publicly commit evil.
And the Mainstream Media lied about Kyle Rittenhouse, slandering his good name (Proverbs 12:22).
The Mainstream Media also called evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20).
Self-defense is good because it prevents the evil of murder (which is what could have happened to Kyle).
Some people may claim that the Mainstream Media committed the lesser sin of rash judgment (Ecclesiastes 5:1).
However, it is clear that the media committed the sin of bearing false witness (Exodus 20:16) by trying very hard to get an innocent young man imprisoned for life.
Moreover, anyone who intentionally participated by perpetuating these lies, calling good evil and evil good, and judging rashly are also guilty of these same sins.
Obviously, those that were unintentionally ignorant are not culpable of believing these lies.
But I will caution you that we must all use prudence going forward to not believe what the Mainstream Media says just because they say it!
May God have mercy on all of us that have committed these heinous sins or believed in these lies!
