Given the circumstances, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was intentionally malicious. Seems like something worth expending some ammo on, and boy would that be a good shot, if hit. I feel like this should be stickied, great catch!
My post was purely speculative, but since then I have done a little research of my own. Here are some other outlet’s that reported the same wrong bill, instead of the right one.
Here is a comment from some rando account with a transcript of what people should say when they call, taken from the roguereview link,
“ I am writing to ask you to move Bill 743 to withdraw Wisconsin’s 10 electors for Joe Biden in 2020 on to the Wisconsin Senate. We the People have found many discrepancies and voter fraud in the 2020 election. We are asking you to send this bill on to the Wisconsin Senate immediately.”
Note that Bill SB 743 is not Bill AJR 120.
I’d say their original intentions are no longer relevant. Everyone knows the saying, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
What matters is results, and sending however many people off to call about the wrong bill is not a small oopsie, nor is it beneficial to us in any way.
I never realized how hostile this forum was to newcomers, I’ve been lurking here since it birthed from thedonald.win, and I lurked there since it was born from r/thedonald. Admittedly, I didn’t hang around r/thedonald much, I won’t go onto reddit. Finally decided to make an account after many years of lurking, and this is how people interact with me. I’ve always been outcast, and for that reason I’ve always been awake. I’m going back to lurking. You guys are not cozy frens.
Where in the hell did I suggest violence towards anyone? Sheesh, have I been lurking here longer than you’ve had an account here? When they expend ammo, they are using up their resources. All I said was that TGP is immensely popular on here, and if it turned out to be cabal ammo (or resources), that would be a painful blow to take. (it’d be a good shot, if hit.)
The legislation will now move forward to the Wisconsin Rules Committee and TO the Wisconsin Senate, bill 743."
Its moving TO bill 743. It does NOT say it IS bill 743. You are reading the article wrong. There is no Seante Bill 120. Just a proposal called Assembly Resolution 120. Sen Ramthun took advantage of some WI legislature rules (assembly rule 43) to get a vote to move it forward to the rules committee.
This is a BASED AF move by Sen Ramthun and why GWP was getting a little overly excited about it.
The video shows this as well.
Finally, at the end of the article, GWP asks readers to call the RULES COMMITTEE (where the resolution sits now) and support THE RESOLUTION, aka AR120. It did not say call and support the BILL.
Could they have explained it better? Yes. Is it wrong, NO.
So your saying what TGP stated happened did happen. But they cited the wrong bill name? But what they outlined as news that happened did in fact happen. So noted.
Sounds exactly like your own headline and content. You knew that putting an inflammatory headline about a widely popular article would grab attention. But instead of showing that the article was wrong, which it wasn’t, you instead spin it to complain about them getting a bill number wrong. Do you know that they’re “trying to fool us”?? Or are they simply messy and careless with their content. You’re just doing bad journalism yourself.
Lately some Lin Wood supporters have been claiming the Gateway Pundit is controlled opposition. I think that colors the interpretation if you believe it.
I used to trust Lin Wood because of his track record as a defamation attorney. But the Bible states that "You will know them by their fruits". And Lin Wood has not produced any good fruit.
Sure they did, but I believe that’s because they’re sloppy and dont care about taking time to confirm. Hoft is just trying to flip stories as fast as possible. But that doesn’t mean they’re trying to fool us.
I agree they are sloppy. We don't necessarily know the intentions of everyone involved, but those don't really matter as much as the end result. Fake news.
The first (and only) thing I do if I MUST click a TGP article is scroll to the bottom and click the twitter link they get it from. I don't care for their editorializing or sensationalism.
I agree, but the point of OPs post was to challenge the intentions of TGP as being purposefully deceptive to fool us. That’s very different from sloppy fake news, which they are 9 times out of 10
Both are assumptions rather than assertions so you're half correct. OP's outrage is not to be discounted even if his justification is a little off. It's valid to call out TGP for this regardless of motive.
But he's sloppy about it and ends up causing harm. I cant use TGP to red pill because more often than not, the title is misleading or it includes unsubstantiated claims as facts.
I noticed that they changed the headline so the OPs screen capture was different to the article headline. The new headline added more information that made it look like less of a happening. Must have rushed the article.
So we see it, we need to research then call the correct legislative contact with the correct bill number is how I’m interpreting, I could be wrong only one cup of coffee.
If you watch the video though, they are sending the bill on withdrawing electors to rules. Unless the video is cut and pasted but does not appear to be.
To me the real issue is that the thing is going to the rules committee over the objection from Rathmun, which means rules committee is going to koosh it.
They have a history of being both based and sloppy. Mistakes or malicious? Controlled opposition, or just a small operation trying its best but failing to be perfect? Frens, I don't think we can know. HOWEVER, let this be a reminder to treat ALL information with critical thinking and a healthy suspicion. We have a tendency to believe things we want to believe, so in a way, our own biases are our worst enemy.
I’m not triggered. Just wondering why the mods stickied an article that is full blown shit wads, and haven’t corrected it with say...stickying your post.
Who are Jim and Joe Hoft, really? What are their motivations. Where do they get their funding? Where did they get their funding to start GWP, in the first place? Are they a subsidiary company under another corporation? Whete did they receive their college educations from? Which fraternities did they join? Are they members of any type of "globalist" type orgs, like CFR, TriLat, Bilderberg, Bohemian Grove, etc?
These are the questions we should be asking now. And we should be digging on ALL the other so-called "independent" news sites.
It could be a mistake on their part, or this could be subterfuge hiding a much deeper, darker agenda. Time to start finding out, folks.
Yeah, I don't recall that at all. As a matter of fact, when supposed conservative news sites gave up in Trump immediately, GWP stayed strong. They've been solid on election fraud ever since.
So my ex was a MASTER manipulator. When I reached the point of saying, "No One is that STUPID," I realized I was being played.
If Gateway Pundit is making this kind of mistake repeatedly, then yea, I would say we're being played. BUT consider the possibility of vaxxed employees exhibiting signs of mental deterioration, or simply being emotionally compromised and doing sloppy work.
WATCH FOR IT, and if it happens multiple times, they are no longer worth reading.
Lin Wood is Not A Fan of TGP. I tend to agree with LW on most things so I agree with OP, what was TGP’s intent with the misdirection? Sloppy or malicious?
Do the research
Connect the dots
Draw your own conclusions
It is almost as if they don't care about the actual story they are reporting, but in fact, actually care more about the number of clicks they get on the site for the sake of the advertisers. But surely that cannot be so.
Given the circumstances, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was intentionally malicious. Seems like something worth expending some ammo on, and boy would that be a good shot, if hit. I feel like this should be stickied, great catch!
If the intent was malicious why write the article at all? Doesnt make sense. Use logic and not emotion please.

Handshake says what?
I never realized how hostile this forum was to newcomers, I’ve been lurking here since it birthed from thedonald.win, and I lurked there since it was born from r/thedonald.

Oh don't listen to the naysayers bud. You're doing a good job. Plenty of assholes here too lurking around. Happy to see you interacting!
Everyone says that to handshake accounts. Get over it. If your intentions are pure everyone will see that.
Where in the hell did I suggest violence towards anyone? Sheesh, have I been lurking here longer than you’ve had an account here? When they expend ammo, they are using up their resources. All I said was that TGP is immensely popular on here, and if it turned out to be cabal ammo (or resources), that would be a painful blow to take. (it’d be a good shot, if hit.)
Note the handshake.
Agent Provocateur. Probably not a fren.
Who in the hell said anything about murder?

Thank you. Correct answer. TGP doesn’t always get it right, but they expose the Left many times every day.
So your saying what TGP stated happened did happen. But they cited the wrong bill name? But what they outlined as news that happened did in fact happen. So noted.

Lin Wood is one of a handful of patriots I trust 100%.
I used to trust Lin Wood because of his track record as a defamation attorney. But the Bible states that "You will know them by their fruits". And Lin Wood has not produced any good fruit.
TGP were the ones who posted a misleading headline (WI would be withdrawing electors) and had to backtrack
Sure they did, but I believe that’s because they’re sloppy and dont care about taking time to confirm. Hoft is just trying to flip stories as fast as possible. But that doesn’t mean they’re trying to fool us.
I agree they are sloppy. We don't necessarily know the intentions of everyone involved, but those don't really matter as much as the end result. Fake news.

Kept the headline, probably
But he's sloppy about it and ends up causing harm. I cant use TGP to red pill because more often than not, the title is misleading or it includes unsubstantiated claims as facts.
Not arguing that, but that is not what OP claims. He claims it purposefully misleading to fool us
True but he did say it was just a speculation.
The irony of your statement. You completely missed FullAmpleSally's point. Which was a true statement btw.
Thank you sir white knight
I noticed that they changed the headline so the OPs screen capture was different to the article headline. The new headline added more information that made it look like less of a happening. Must have rushed the article.
Seriously why is this even stickied?!
So we see it, we need to research then call the correct legislative contact with the correct bill number is how I’m interpreting, I could be wrong only one cup of coffee.
Maybe, my take is it's an intended smear against the Pundit.
Maybe I don't pay enough attention, but this is the first I've heard anything derogatory against them.
IMO we don't need newly woken members coming here and seeing an unsubstantiated smear against one of the bigger alt media/news sources.
You dont pay enough attention.
Name checks out.
If the intent was malicious why write the article at all?
That is pretty bizarre. Maybe it is disinformation for the commies who will undoubtedly freak out & start attacking.
Keep believing.

Gaywaybuttpit...
All news is fake news until proven otherwise. Electors are withdrawn when electors are withdrawn - why can't it be that simple?
Clickbait title, just like GWP's article is. You committed the same crime as they did.
The point that you should be driving home is that the GWP's article is TRUE, but they linked the wrong article or resolution.
Has anyone brought this to their attention? Lets try that and see if they correct it before calling to have them burned at the stake.
And just to reiterate, the GWP's article is factual and true.
The way its written is difficult to follow, but it is not wrong. See my other comment in this thread.
Spot on
lol, dont insult journalism.
Their writers are garbage for one of the top visited websites in the world...horrible formatting and copy. No structure or consistent style.
Jesus, Hoft brothers, at least learn AP style and how to write.
They're laughing all the way to the bank though. Easily doing $3k a day in ads.
Trust no media entity.
They have a history of being both based and sloppy. Mistakes or malicious? Controlled opposition, or just a small operation trying its best but failing to be perfect?

GP is super sloppy and click baity. Terrible source for red pilling as it often makes us look stupid. It's as if there is no copy editor.
Q post 743
End is near. The media cleanse/JFK. Q
i never trusted the gaywaypundit... most their headlines are clickbait and or breathless regurgitation of news broken elsewhere
They have had repeated "fuck ups". I gave theme some grace more than once but from this point forward they are fake news.
Wasn't it posted somewhere here on GA about The Gateway Pundit have ex-clowns in their employ? This would definitely make sense.
TGP is just 2 person though
Where are the mods?!?
I’m not triggered. Just wondering why the mods stickied an article that is full blown shit wads, and haven’t corrected it with say...stickying your post.
Heyoooo. Breathe. Maybe it's because it's the middle of the night there and the (currently in Egypt) mod eventually steps in to take care of it? 🐸
WE OWN THE NIGHT
Nice pyramids, where'd you get them? The stupid building store?
Exactly breathe.
insert astronaut holding gun at astronaut meme "Wait, Gateway Pundit is controlled op?" "Always has been"
everyone @ them on twitter lol
A lot of readers but hurt they are not getting what they want and blaming OP. Pretty much what the opposition wanted good job.
Who are Jim and Joe Hoft, really? What are their motivations. Where do they get their funding? Where did they get their funding to start GWP, in the first place?

fear porn/click bait business model. avoid them.
Sauce?
Bill 743 (7+4= 11, 11x3= [33])
Just sayin
So my ex was a MASTER manipulator. When I reached the point of saying, "No One is that STUPID," I realized I was being played.
If Gateway Pundit is making this kind of mistake repeatedly, then yea, I would say we're being played. BUT consider the possibility of vaxxed employees exhibiting signs of mental deterioration, or simply being emotionally compromised and doing sloppy work.
WATCH FOR IT, and if it happens multiple times, they are no longer worth reading.
GP has presented fuckery before. I can't give specifics because I never saved em but I remember thinking I should be careful trusting them.
Of course, I don't trust anyone these days. :p
Lin Wood is Not A Fan of TGP. I tend to agree with LW on most things so I agree with OP, what was TGP’s intent with the misdirection? Sloppy or malicious?
Do the research Connect the dots Draw your own conclusions
This is why I don't share gateway pundit articles.
It is almost as if they don't care about the actual story they are reporting, but in fact, actually care more about the number of clicks they get on the site for the sake of the advertisers. But surely that cannot be so.
