The Usual Crap "Reporting"

The editorial here (presented as 'news') is so full of questionable assertions, half-truths, and "facts" presented without evidence that it is not only irritating, but disgusting.

Anyhow.  The protesters had a rally.  Lotsa speakers, one of which was Gaige Grosskreutz.  You remember him, right?

Yah.  Handgun out, ready to shoot Kyle before Kyle blew away a bunch of Grosskreutz' arm.

So what's missing in this rather spare description of the event?

...Among those who spoke at the kickoff rally was Gaige Grosskreutz, the street medic who was shot in the arm by Kyle Rittenhouse during a protest in Kenosha on Aug. 25....

A "medic" who carries!  (Does he have a permit?)  And Rittenhouse shot him in the arm for no apparent reason.  Uh-huh.

All that video stuff--your lying eyes--doesn't fit The Narrative.

But the editorial inadvertently leaves a 'tell' on Grosskreutz' real affiliation.  Maybe the writer thinks this is just an innocent exclamation:

"(You are) the reason I'm out here ... and still will be out here," said Grosskreutz, who was shot protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake by a Kenosha police officer days earlier. "Long live the revolution."

Long Live the Revolution??

What did we learn from this editorial?  Well.......Sensabaugh and others intend to continue marching around and around and around until "justice" arrives.  Judging from the texts of the Psalms, written about 3,000 years ago, that might take some time.   We also learned that there's no reason to read the J-S for 'actualities', with the exception of the obits and (mostly) the sports pages.

By the way, the newspaper thinks its readers are very, very, very, STOOPID, too.  Here's a great example:

President Donald Trump has repeatedly pinned the blame for violence in Kenosha and protests across the nation over the summer on outside agitators. And Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian has blamed people from outside Kenosha for causing much of the damage to the city.

But a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel review of bookings into the Kenosha County Jail showed most people arrested since the shooting were from Kenosha, the surrounding area or a few cities in out-state Wisconsin....

The editorial attempts to give the lie to Trump's assertion.  But it doesn't--not even close.  

Trump blames "outside agitators" for inciting riots and insurrection.  He doesn't say that 'most of the people arrested' are "outside agitators."  One has nothing to do with the other.  But the reader, here treated as a complete moron, is supposed to understand that Trump (and Antaramian) Wrong.

Harry Grant is very dead.
