Every so often, the establishment media tells the truth. Then it begs forgiveness.

Via The Blaze:

Swedish skier Elis Lundholm competed in freestyle skiing women’s moguls on Wednesday but believes she is a man.

AP reports that she was “assigned female at birth,” as if on a random basis. She has not attempted to deform herself with hormones or surgery. She just says she is a man, the way someone in a lunatic asylum might claim to be a dolphin.

That’s good enough for NBC.

An NBC commentator referred to her as “she.” Then came the groveling.

NBC sent out an apology this week to multiple outlets, including OutKick, explaining that “NBC Sports takes this matter seriously.”

The denial of indisputable objective reality by the establishment media is serious all right.

The network then went out of its way to remove any further replays that would have included announcers referring to Lundholm as a female.

As George Orwell wrote,

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”

Except that Elis Lundholm still isn’t a man, any more than she is a dolphin.
