She blew it open, She actually discovered that this had gone awry... [See video]Sorry, but that's not correct.
See for yourself all that had been blown open and discovered before she entered the picture. It's all documented and verifiable, and has been since the beginning.
So is this.
That's not to take anything away from outstanding investigative reporting. I have nothing but the greatest admiration for making this happen on network news. Vital and original information was uncovered and exposed, and without it, chances are it would have forever remained in the obscure province of disgruntled #justabloggers. But let's get the chronology straight, as well as who did what.
Ah well, I suppose I ought to be used to it by now. It's just that even fricking Wikipedia refuses to mention any of this in their "history," and not for lack of people making corrective entries. Those keep getting edited out. That makes Mike and me ideological "unpersons," written completely out of the narrative, and only those doing the editing could tell us their motives--if you could figure out who they are.
So why should we expect anything less from corporate media?
Maybe I ought to give Gottlieb his plaque back.
Oh, and one more thing, Laura: It wasn't a "sting." Not unless you believe in Underpants Gnomes.
It gets old. And it's so unnecessary.
UPDATE: They can't say they/their staffs haven't been given verifiable information:
David,
ReplyDeleteThose of us out here in the gun culture know what you and Mike did on this story. I know it's nice to get recognition in the mainstream media, but we all understand they are completely hostile to the right to keep and bear arms, and will support statist efforts to undermine that right every single time.
Count it an honor to have such people as enemies. We know where the credit belongs.
ReplyDeleteDavid, what matters most is not who gets the credit but what was accomplished. The Lamestream Media is just the agitprop organ for the Regime, on the order of Der Sturmer. As previously mentioned the people who matter know what you and Mike did and the Sheeple don't matter. The opprobium of the despicable is every bit as ennobling as the praise of the worthy. Good on ya.

You write: ideological "unpersons"
ReplyDeleteI say: The Disappeared

B.S. When we let idea thieves steal the credit for the excellent, hard work of loyal activists, less good work gets done. Also, who are you to tell him not to be frustrated?
No big deal, just keep busting your ass for nothing. Doesn't work that way in the real world.
