♦️ Hard truth: I don’t like Myron, but he’s spot on — if Karmelo Anthony loses his trial, too many in the black community and BLM crowd are already priming to burn cities down instead of accepting justice.
Karmelo’s supporters: Y’all need to do the right thing for once. If the evidence shows he’s guilty, own it. Stop turning every self-defense case into a racial martyrdom narrative. No riots. No “mostly peaceful” looting. No excuses.
A kid is dead. Facts over feelings. If the jury says guilty, respect the verdict like everyone else has to. The pattern of rage and destruction when the outcome isn’t what you want has to end.
Cooler heads better prevail — or we all know what’s coming. 😳

Katie Couric infamously edited her interview with Ruth Bader Ginsberg because RBG took the anti-woke position that Colin Kaepernick's kneeling was "dumb and disrespectful," and Couric didn't want to hurt RBG's standing w/ the Left. https://t.co/bXPbvNOyBD
It is incredibly satisfying, though also emotional, to sit in this trial and watch the footage and witness testimony confirm what my reporting and investigative work has shown over the last year.
Based on what has been presented in court so far, everything I reported was affirmed.
What is even more disturbing is that, as the truth comes out, many Karmelo Anthony supporters continue repeating the same false narratives. No matter what is shown in court, they simply repeat what they’ve been told like parrots.
There is no critical thinking. No independent analysis. Just the same talking points over and over again, even when the evidence fails to support them.
🚨Karmelo Anthony is GUILTY.🚨
As a teacher of 10 years and a Black Christian man, I’m removing ALL racial bias and calling it straight:
He brought a weapon to school — that alone is an automatic crime and grounds for expulsion. Then he put himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and chose to stab another kid instead of walking away.
This is an open-and-shut case. Without the politics and racial tension being forced into it, everyone would see the facts clearly: Karmelo Anthony killed that boy.
I pray for the victim and his family. Justice must prevail over narrative.

This woman said if you have a pool in your backyard, her kids are using it this summer regardless if you agree or not!
Would you let her kids use your pool? Thoughts?
This is also how to view his theatrical statements about his firing - and also the statements from CBS explaining his firing. This is theatre. The content of ‘the news’ is a distant second. These people are enjoying playing out their personal drama to a receptive audience.
This is a good thread revealing Scott Pelley as a partisan hack.
But notice also his facial expressions. The way he rests his chin on his hand. He is an actor - and a pretty good one. He is playing a part of a ‘serious and skeptical journalist.’ TV ‘news’ is performance.
After being fired from CBS, former “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley yesterday said that “new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified.”
Those are remarkable claims for which Pelley presented no evidence. Indeed, it would be extraordinary for CBS to demand such things of a correspondent, either verbally or in writing, given the reputational risk to the network.
A more likely explanation is that Pelley disagreed with someone at CBS and then declared a difference of opinion to be a demand to lie. Support for this interpretation comes from the fact that he claimed Tuesday that CBS’s new management, led by Bari Weiss, was trying to kill “60 Minutes,” something for which he also did not provide evidence.
Moreover, the accusation makes no sense. CBS Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss took the job to rebuild CBS News, not to wreck it, and a ruined “60 Minutes” would hurt her. Paramount’s owners did not pay billions for the network to burn its best asset for spite. So the simpler reading is that Pelley is the one stretching the truth.
Doing so appears to be a habit for Pelley. He told The New York Times, “I have been in combat in Afghanistan. I have been in combat in Iraq,” but being in a combat zone as a journalist is not the same as being “in combat.” The remark is yet more evidence of Pelley’s propensity to exaggerate to the point of lying.
For decades, mainstream liberal journalists have displayed remarkable levels of arrogance, even as they get major stories wrong.
Consider the case of CBS News’ former anchor Dan Rather. In the fall of 2004, two months before the election, Rather presented documents purporting to show favoritism in George W. Bush’s National Guard service. Experts called them forgeries. CBS apologized: “We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry,” Rather said. On air, he added, “I want to say, personally and directly, I’m sorry.”
But then, a decade later, Rather told Variety he still stands “100 percent” behind the report and reframed the apology.
Or consider NBC’s Katie Couric. In her 2016 documentary “Under the Gun,” editors inserted roughly eight to nine seconds of silence after she asked Virginia gun owners how to keep guns from felons and terrorists without background checks, making them look stumped. The raw audio revealed that they answered immediately.
Couric’s first instinct was to defend what she did, saying she was “very proud of the film.” Only after sustained backlash did she apologize.
In her 2021 memoir “Going There,” Couric admitted she cut Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s harshest anthem-kneeling comments from her 2016 interview. Ginsburg had said kneeling players showed “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life, which they probably could not have lived in the places they came from.”
NBC’s “Meet the Press,” in the spring of 2020, aired a clip of Attorney General Bill Barr that omitted part of his answer, misleading the public.
When Catherine Herridge interviewed Barr for CBS Evening News, she asked what history would say about his decision to drop the case against a former National Security Advisor to President Trump, Michael Flynn. The Obama administration’s FBI had illegally targeted Flynn for entrapment and prosecution. Barr replied that ”history is written by the winner. So it largely depends on who’s writing the history.”
"Meet the Press'" anchor at the time, Chuck Todd, said on air that Barr “didn’t make the case that he was upholding the rule of law. He was almost admitting that, yeah, this is a political job.’” But “Meet the Press” had left out the second part of Barr’s answer to Herridge, in which he said, “But I think a fair history would say that it was a good decision because it upheld the rule of law.”
The safeguards the journalism profession built against error did not work when it mattered. The corrections, the editors, the fact-checkers, and the standards desks all sat in place while the press got the border, trans medicine, climate, the sixth extinction, Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, Covid and much else wrong. Gerth described how reporters sought to “shoot the messenger” rather than grapple with evidence contradicting the Russia collusion narrative...

@ITGuy1959 Also, if 90% of the people saying you will be a great loss are on one side of the political spectrum, maybe you're not as unbiased as you think you are.
Dear legacy media journalists:
In light of your Scott Pelley lunatic antics; apparently, you all need a reality refresher. So as a public service to your cratering brand, here you go:
1- You do not run the company that employs you. The executive management runs the company, subject to oversight by the owners and/or the stockholders. You are not part of that oversight process.
2- The company that employees you does not owe you an explanation of everything they do, especially with regard to personnel matters. In fact, your own legal / HR department will tell you it is problematic to discuss personnel decisions beyond a need-to-know basis.
3- People don't care who reports the story - they care about the quality of the story. Reading a teleprompter put together by the production team that did the story isn't the galactic-level skill you may think it is.
4- This one should be obvious, but when journalists are the story versus reporting the story, you all failed.
5- When you run a story that is critical of an individual, administration, or institution; allowing the subject of the story to comment ahead of time is not "injecting political bias into the story." It's Journalism 101, which apparently is no longer taught in Journalism 101.
6- We really don't care what a "former producer" or a "former correspondent" thinks about anything. There's often a good reason they are a "former" something, and that reason usually undercuts their credibility.
7- This one also seems obvious, but you're subject to - and only subject to - the same employment laws that affect everyone else in every other business. When the First Amendment was written, the "press" referred to the printing press, not some special class of citizenry that is exempt from laws that affect everyone else.
8- When you have a show that suffered one of the worst scandals in journalism history - revolving around the literal forging of fake memos - don't tell us it's a gold standard that never had a blemish in its history. You just look dumb when you do that.
You're welcome.
