I've had the rumblings of a project for a while bouncing around my noggin. I would like to present people with examples of how the media lies to you. How they take clips of video completely out of context and spinning things as something they are not. Examples of blatantly false stories, etc... I want to compile these videos/stories into a nicely organized website that anyone can just shoot a link to their buddy and say, "THIS....is why you can't trust the media any more"
When I was younger. It only took a few of these events to make me begin questioning what I was seeing. As silly as it will seem, it was actually some shoddy "reporting" on a tropical storm that got me questioning things; a reporter standing waist deep in a ditch full of water pretending as if he was in the middle of an intersection and that the streets in this town had been flooded. Another simple example was a politician quoting his opponent... "My opponent says 'We have to raise taxes on the middle class'".... but the media took the clip of his speech, shortening it to "We have to raise taxes on the middle class" and passing it off as if HE originally said it.
Anyways, You get the picture. If you have an examples please pass them along.
I really love this idea. I have been wanting something like this for a long time now, but don't have the editing skills. Some first examples that come to mind are:
The capitol riot being "worse than 9/11" (John Liu) and AOC repeatedly saying she was nearly killed vs her and others never condemning riots that left dozens dead and cost cities billions of dollars.
MSM ripping "find more votes" out of context in the GA call.
Impeaching Trump for crimes they are proven guilty of -- Quid Pro Joe. CNN and others blatantly ignoring facts in favor a their lies and demonization of a sitting president.
The "Muslim Ban" -- Trump literally just used a list from the Obama admin of places riddled with Islamic terrorists.
The constant barrage of racist claims with no evidence except the "rapist and drug dealer line" out of context.
One of my favorites because of the absurdity -- The Lego White House that Ivanka's kid built. Some sources called Ivanka a liar and claimed the kid never constructed one, lol.
Voter Fraud, in both 2016 and 2020.
