Legacy media trying to bully Katie Britt

Britt lied about her interactions with the victim, where the events took place, the time the event occurred, and the circumstances, all to smear Biden and instead of showing character and emotional intelligence by accepting her mistakes and apologizing to the nation and to President Biden - it's the media's fault. Yep definitely MAGA material.

 

Is this the story you reference? Not a good look for CNN ....... for their obvious political bias and subjectivity in covering this matter.

CNN forced to correct story after accusations of 'smear' campaign against Katie Britt (msn.com)

"CNN was forced to issue a correction to its reporting this week aimed at discrediting a portion of Republican Alabama Sen. Katie Britt's State of the Union rebuttal in which she included the tragic story about an unnamed sex trafficking victim to emphasize the effects of the ongoing border crisis."

+

"When reached for comment on the inaccuracy, CNN responded that it had corrected the piece to reflect it was Jacinto's view that Britt claimed the two met one-on-one, and not the outlet's. "CLARIFICATION: This story has been updated to clarify the circumstances of Britt’s meeting with Jacinto," a note at the bottom of the story now reads.

CNN also portrayed Britt as incorrectly claiming Jacinto was trafficked by Mexican drug cartels, but the senator never said "drug cartels" during her rebuttal. She specifically talked about "cartels," referring to organized crime along the border, similar to how Jacinto previously described her traffickers as a "crime organization" during testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in May 2015."

 

She sees you, she hears you, she lies to you.

 

A good example of why we quit watching legacy media—-

 

That's a pretty minor correction compared to Britt's deception.

 

OP didn't explain why non legacy right wing media is bashing her performance

 

I'd like to know when Roger Stone became a part of legacy media

 

A good example is Fox News (lol) concern trolling about a minor correction - drug cartels vs. “crime organization”?

Where is Britt’s “correction” to the rest of it? The sad thing is I’m sure there are domestic examples. But that woman doesn’t actually care. As a politician, she just wanted to use the one that was “presented” to her in the past and then somehow fit that situation to her political SOTU narrative. Facts be damned.

The worst thing about people like Britt, she tells this tale of compassion about the woman and her horrific experience, yet we know how they vote on things like asylum or humanitarian aid…she’d just send the woman back to the traffickers. In the end Britt probably would have been better just making the whole thing up. Her flaw was the connection to an actual person.

 

Katie Britt tries to bully Joe Biden using fake accusations and it blows up in her smug face. Bwhahahahahahaha. Katie hang in there… you know what you were trying to do.

 

Can you give examples of what exactly you’re talking about?

 

How about some examples of her lying in her rebuttal?

 

Plenty of fact-checks have been posted. I was just trying to make sense of the thread, which is about the media bullying her.

 

About sums it up.

How many points does she get if she publicly grabs the crotch of a cardboard Trump cutout, like Marjorie Taylor Green did?

 

The entire anecdote was bs in its framing and had absolutely nothing to do with Biden or his SOTU. You living in a bubble?

The funny thing is Republicans already have the taking point with Lincoln Riley. It’s gross that they use random examples to demonize entire groups of people/immigrants, but at least using that isn’t dishonest in the sense that it actually happened on Biden’s watch.

 

Well not so sure the story was BS. Read what she actually said. CNN has already corrected their distorted version. The woman it actually happened to said parts of Britt's description of the events were not true, but if you read Britt's transcripts and compare them to what the victim actually said happened there is not a ton of difference. I would say it's not any different then comparing a small kitchen fire to the devastating fires that happen in Hawaii.

 

LOL. Did you actually include this as part of your defense of a liar, who was speaking on behalf of a political "party" that has almost entirely transformed into the propaganda wing defending a criminal......liar?




Oh yeah.. Also something about a fire somewhere or something. That's why lying is OK or something. A fire analogy. Hilarious.

 

Only reply to you is, are you a bot or not?
Simple No will suffice then we can have dialog.

 

You seem to have serious critical thinking and comprehension problems, so I’ll spell it out in a different way.

The issue is NOT that the events didn’t happen. Nobody doubts they happened. So I’m not sure why you would think that’s the issue. CNN is not saying “didn’t happen” either. The story was traced to this woman, and the events happened in Mexico in 2004-2008.

The issue is it had literally nothing to do with the immigration debate or the SOTU and Britt framed it as if it did. That’s why she’s getting maligned by conservative media too (although their concerns seemed mostly about her somewhat creepy presentation and “staging” rather than her dishonesty).

 

Megyn Kelly. Watch first couple of mins. (Thx Citygator).
