The graybeard Conservative radio host has said it a million times: what the media does NOT tell you is just as important as what they DO tell you. Lying by omission happens all the time.
So in the story (fable) surrounding the Trump rally at Serb Hall, there's a lot you don't know until you read the complete report, given here by Jim Piwowarczyk.
If you read the news stories about the pro-Trump rally at Serb Hall, you’d come away convinced that the manager, Nick Alioto, was attacked by multiple “violent” Trump supporters. You’d never learn that the only arrest at the Trump rally was of a Black Lives Matter supporter who was caught on video, in a separate incident, physically attacking a Trump supporter after threatening repeatedly to knock Trump supporters out, while yelling racial slurs....
Oh. That's news to us!
...There is simply no evidence – from videos or eyewitnesses – that Alioto was kicked as he told the news media. Rather, a new video obtained by Wisconsin Right Now paints a more complicated picture than the media narrative: Right before he fell, Alioto appears to attempt to take hold of a Trump supporter’s neck, the video shows. “You choked him,” several people alleged to Alioto in one of the videos when he claims, “You did this.”...
Alioto attempted assault on some dude? Hmmmm.
No matter what you think of Channel 6's Ted Perry, that station's news operation has taken a major hit to the 'cred' column because of his antics--and this doesn't help:
....As for Fox 6, they reported, falsely, on social media that the Milwaukee Health Department shut the event down. It didn’t. The Health Department issued violations, including one for people standing. Alioto told people to sit down after Sheriff David Clarke told them to stand up. Their story reported that Alioto was “pulled to the ground by members of the crowd.” We couldn’t find evidence of anyone pulling Alioto to the ground. Again, he appears to have lost his balance and fallen. Videos show this....
Were the Trump people angels? Not really.
Did the MSM cover itself in glory here? No. But the Milorganite plant benefitted from their output.
