Sheridan Gorman’s Murder by Illegal Alien Provides Learning Experience for Aspiring Journalists

Being inexperienced, aspiring journalists at college newspapers sometimes screw up by reporting events accurately at the expense of the liberal agenda. When they do, they apologize and correct their error.

Daily Caller reports from Loyola University Chicago:

The Loyola Phoenix posted an editor’s note apologizing for the headline of its story reporting the charges filed against Jose Medina-Medina. The headline originally referred to Medina-Medina as an illegal immigrant, which the note said “didn’t reflect the most important elements in the story.”

The most important elements are not Medina-Medina allegedly murdering 18-year old Sheridan Gorman, who was a student at the school, much less that he is an illegal alien. Most important in any story is to promote moonbattery, which the paper went back and accomplished by piously barking that “No human’s existence is illegal.”

The editors note said that the term “illegal immigrant” does not align with Associated Press (AP) style or “the values of this newspaper.”

Said values align fine with the woke propagandists at AP.

As for the allegedly unimportant elements of the story,

The man is in fact an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, who the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed was released by the Biden administration after being arrested by U.S. Border Patrol. DHS alleged in a Monday press release that Medina-Medina approached Gorman’s group of friends wearing a mask and holding a gun, shooting and killing the 18-year-old student.

As the liberal manual 1984 advises, the paper went back to revise the record:

The paper updated its story to call Medina-Medina a “Rogers Park Resident” and deleted the original Instagram post calling him an illegal immigrant.

The amateurs at the Loyola Phoenix made another mistake by failing to name the villain of the story. This is not the put-upon Medina-Medina, a victim who was subjected to microaggression with the term “illegal alien.” Nor is it the Biden Regime, which released him twice in 2023 instead of sending him back to his own country. It is of course Donald Trump.

The more experienced JB Pritzker demonstrates the correct spin for the story:

To quote Jabba:

“I agree there have been real failures. Those failures of course extend beyond the borders of Illinois. They’re national failures, a failure to have comprehensive immigration reform, a failure of the president to follow his own edict to go after the worst of the worst.”

For context, Medina-Medina was running loose because Pritzker’s Illinois is a sanctuary state. ICE has in fact been going after the worst of the worst, despite dogged opposition from Democrats like Pritzker. “Comprehensive immigration reform” is Liberalese for amnesty for illegal aliens like Medina-Medina.

RIP Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris was a great cultural icon. The liberal entertainment media proves it by denouncing him for personifying American strength. Via Variety:

Was Norris a brilliant athlete and top-shelf star? Yes. But there’s no denying that his roles were part of a body of work used to show American strength, might and the pernicious attraction of taking the law into one’s own hands — something that seems less fun in a year in which our country is funneling money into bombing Iran and ICE agents are acting like one-man militias. Given our nation’s divisions in morality, information literacy and overall sense of reality, it’s easier to see Norris’ characters as justification for a fringe conspiracy movement rather than a moral standing. When patriotism and laws shift away from the Constitution, what side does a gunslinger land on?

While Hollywood takes endless shots for being too liberal or left-leaning, it’s a short-sighted criticism considering the industry’s decades of glorifying American military strength. Ultimately, genre fans can appreciate Norris as a larger-than-life marquee figure. But it’s a unique twist on separating the art from the artist: When a star is the poster boy for American exceptionalism and might, at what point does his legacy transition from escapism to dangerous propaganda?

Let’s have a look at William Earl, the moonbat who spat that on Norris’s grave:

The human spectrum is wide. Chuck Norris was at one end. Liberal journalists are at the other.

Twelve-Year-Old Girl Beaten to Death in Broad Daylight Ignored

A tragic tale, via Fox News:

A 12-year-old girl tragically died Sunday following a vicious fight that erupted when a group of students got off a school bus in an Atlanta suburb.

Footage shared by the family, which has since gone viral on social media, captured the violent incident unfolding Thursday in Villa Rica. The victim involved was identified by her family as Jada West, who reportedly had been bullied since transferring to the school.

A child is beaten to death in the middle of a suburban street in broad daylight. Surely Atlanta-based CNN is all over this shocking story. No wait, CNN apparently has not mentioned Jada West.

If you have guessed the race of all involved, you can guess why. The incident does not serve preferred narratives.

Liberals Grieve for Dead Ayatollah

The terrorist tyrant Ali Khamenei was at war with the United States and was aggressively developing nuclear weapons to implement his policy of “death to America.” So hostile was the ayatollah to the USA that moonbats have been deifying him into the Islamic George Floyd.

In NYC, moonbats brandished portraits of the dead ayatollah as they indulged in tantrums in front of Trump Tower:

The media is on the same page. The Washington Post weeps bitter tears:

Compare the New York Times obituary with how libs treat people they don’t like:

To the long list of reasons to take out Khamenei, we can add that he was the kind of guy the establishment media would side with.

Profiles in Countermoonbattery: Vinny Martorano

The establishment media is best known for portraying a warped and pernicious narrative at the expense of reality. But some journalists have the integrity to push back — like Vinny Martorano.

Yahoo News! admits:

Martorano, a multimedia journalist for the Sinclair-owned CBS affiliate in Austin, Texas, was covering dueling protests at the Texas Capitol on Saturday following the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

During a Facebook Live stream, a crew member handed him a phone with what appeared to be a message from station management. When Martorano asked what it meant, the crew member replied: they didn’t want them to focus on this. Martorano paused, looked around at the crowd chanting behind him, and said he was going to cover it anyway.

Media management would prefer we see demonstrations like this, not demonstrations like this.

It’s called the Streisand Effect. Attempts to suppress the truth can result in shining a Klieg light on it. Millions have now viewed the clip. CBS Austin actually aired it.

Martorano was not promoting a right-wing narrative. He just wanted to report both sides. He succeeded.

Katie Couric: Charlie Kirk Had It Coming

It is a common saying because it is true: No matter how much you hate the liberal media, you don’t hate it enough. Consider Katie Couric. Here she eggs on John Fetterman to join her in denigrating the memory of a great man who was assassinated by one of her fellow leftists:

When liberals says someone’s rhetoric is “extreme,” they mean that it is right of center. Charlie Kirk was known for reaching out to the other side in an attempt to communicate, not for taking radical positions. Note that she doesn’t reference a specific opinion of Kirk’s that a normal person would regard as extreme, because there weren’t any.

Then she suggests he deserved to be shot for being not being a liberal:

“People condemn political violence, but they also felt a great deal of discomfort with his language, suggesting that these kinds of words lead to violence.”

What kind of words? Any kind Katie Couric doesn’t want to hear.

In short, Kirk was killed because he was asking for it. Mind you don’t ask for it by speaking similar words, or the same thing could happen to you.

Kudos to Fetterman for not going along with this evil creature. The guy who shows up for work as a senator dressed in a hoodie and gym shorts continues to be far and away the closest a modern Democrat comes to being sane.

NBC Apologizes for Not Lying

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.

Libs Turn Against Bodycams for ICE Agents

While pretending that ICE agents are doing something wrong, liberals stridently demanded they wear bodycams to document their misdeeds. Then Kristi Noem said sure. So now, via Politico:

A push to put body cameras on all ICE agents has Democrats running headlong into a new problem: fear that the technology will provide another avenue for mass surveillance of protesters.

Naturally, ICE agents still manage to be the bad guys according to the liberal narrative.

This happened before, during the George Floyd riots. The liberal establishment screeched that local police were oppressing blacks. Officers were made to wear bodycams, which then proved to the astonishment of our supposed intellectual betters that the cops are actually the good guys.

As Daniel Greenfield pointed out earlier

Body cameras have far more consistently proven that law enforcement acted correctly than otherwise. There’s a reason that Secretary Noem is happy to go along with the idea and why most police departments realized that body cams were a good thing once the impact became clear.

…and more recently,

If we didn’t have video footage of [Renee] Good ramming law enforcement and [Alex] Pretti assaulting law enforcement, all we’d have are the lies that the media tells.

That’s what they’re calling “mass surveillance”.

If LEOs are the good guys, who are the bad guys, other than the criminals and foreign invaders they risk their lives to arrest? That would be the liberal establishment, its media, and its weaponized mob.
