It doesn’t require courage to be informed and stick to the facts.
It is challenging sometimes, especially when the right wing noise machine and the GOP [remote sleazy fact free, race centric hit pieces.
“Liars will give credibility to other liars reporting their lies.”
That is evident on every thread on this topic.
“citizen joirnalist” produces a video full of anonymous buildings, allegations, and no evidence of any kind,
And rightwing media from JDVance down to Breitbart pre-eat and promote the liar.
‘I won't say Shirley lied unless the media have opposing evidence that he lied. So far, no evidence but just ad hominem against him.“
Shirley lied. He has produced no evidence to support his specific claims.
He won’t either. That’s not what the Minnesota GOP hired him to do. They wanted a race baiting hit piece full of meaningless video, and unfounded allegations.
He won’t stand behind his own claims.
“"How do I know that [the allegations are] true?" Shirley responded when asked. "Well, we showed you guys what was happening, and then you guys can go ahead and make your own analysis."
Shirley is not “an independent’, and not a “journalist”.
I would rhetorically ask what kind of “journalist” would disown his own allegations?
But Trumpists wouldn’t, because the fake news is what they bought.
