Tales from the enemy of the people
____________________________________________
Yesterday, as most days, I was in and out all day so I was catching up with news sporadically. The night before I had read that the Pennsylvania postal whistleblower who had alleged backdating of ballots had recanted his story. This was a Washington Post "scoop" which of course relied on unnamed sources. I had also read that Project Veritas which had initially broke the story, said that this was not true and they would prove it the next day - yesterday.
Before my day got busy I watched the Project Veritas video which had the postal worker on it, totally denying that he had recanted and that he had been pressured by investigators for hours to recant, he recorded their interview/interrogation of him. I figured that would be it-end of story, WAPO showing why it is fake news.
As I went through my day, listening to the radio, I noticed that the FOX news channel which does the national news on the local station I listen to, was promoting the postal workers recant story. The first thing I thought of, was eventhat if it was true, why was this such a big national story, especially on FOX with so many other interesting developments on election front. The second thing I wondered is why did FOX not know that the postal worker said that the WAPO story was false.
During the course of the day, in the in and out world I live in, I noticed that news outlets such as Washington Examiner, New York Post, VOA, CNN, ABC and others were still running stories about the postal worker's recanting his charges and the FOX report on the local news was still being played. It was not until late afternoon that I saw an update from any news organization on the story saying that the postal worker disputed WAPO's initial story, that was by the Washington Examiner.
Remember this was two days ago that the postal worker denied this, but as an exercise in frustration I just Goggled the word postal worker with the news filter on, which was not much different than just Googling postal worker period. Here is what I found.
To put this in perspective, this is what Richard Hopkins, the postal worker former Marine, put out when WAPO story broke.
It is obvious that no news outlet, even the Washington Post called Hopkins to verify the story. WAPO just used their "source" and went with the story. No other news outlet bothered to ask the actual witness if he had redacted, they made it national news. There it sits nearly completely unchanged or corrected on Google for all to see should they be interested in what happened about those back dated ballots that postman revealed. "Oh look Mabel the guy lied, I googled it."
It served its purpose, it created a narrative that someone who had alleged corruption in Pennsylvania was lying, and sadly most people will never hear the truth. Worse yet the media will pretend that their version is the truth and reinforce it with each other.
The source is more credible than the actual witness! The story and the narrative is more important than the truth. It is really not important what Richard Hopkins said while being pressured by interrogators, what matters is whether he was telling the truth. Now a man, a husband and father, a veteran, a whistleblower has come out to expose the system and what happens? He is suspended without pay for potentially bringing harm to the postal service. It would be laughable if it weren't so harmful to not only Hopkins but to our nation's future.
Here we are in one of the most critical points in United States history, where we need the truth more than at almost any point in our existence and we get propaganda and deceit from our media. Did you expect anything less?
If the truth is never heard, was it really the truth.?That is what the left and its media gatekeepers are counting on, in their forest of silence and lies.
