The NSBA got caught colluding with the White House to orchestrate an attack on parents speaking out at school board meetings.
The NSBA got caught lying about it and was forced to issue an apology. However, there was something very significant missing in that apology.
This is one of the most laughable ‘outrages’ I’ve seen in a while. It’s not a new story. It comes up a few times a year but the answer to the problem is always the same.
First, let me, as a member of the media, highlight why some stories get covered and others don’t. Newsflash, it almost never has anything to do with skin color.
https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1440227683053420561?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1440227683053420561%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fmedia%2Fmsnbc-joy-reid-focus-gabby-petito-case-missing-white-woman-syndrome
People who just vanish and there’s no additional information or evidence available, tend to not get covered all that much. It’s horrible for the families of the victims but it’s a reality in the news business. There needs to be a ‘hook’ to use to suck the audience into the story.
Those ‘hooks’ could be an unusual set of events, surveillance video showing something that might be relevant to the case, a photograph, text, or cryptic phone call. Sometimes there might even be witnesses. It could also be a small piece of evidence in the case. The media, often at the request of the authorities, puts this info out there to the public so the public can view the evidence and maybe help with the case. If there’s no evidence, the coverage rarely moves beyond the initial few stories for headline news. People like to feel like they can help a case and then become invested in it emotionally.
Crimes that happen in areas that aren’t crime-ridden do tend to get covered more because they are atypical. Is this fair to the victim’s family in those other cases, no. It is a reality though. Most local news outlets that I’ve seen in my career do a great job of highlighting tragic cases involving children even in high crime areas. They don’t often make national news because they aren’t of national interest.
Gabbi Petito’s case had all of the ‘hooks’ that make a compelling news story and then some. She was likely the victim of domestic battery, she was an aspiring social media influencer with fans who followed her travels, her public social media posts provided more evidence in the case, and she was traveling the country when the crime happened which means there’s more need for authorities to get the story on national media to gather evidence. Most stories don’t have most of these components. The fact that Gabby was young, white, and attractive are all secondary factors in the news coverage but people like Joy Reid want you to think those are the primary reasons her story was so widely covered. I’ve covered countless cases like this and the looks or race of the victim are rarely the central dynamics in coverage. The facts and evidence of the case are almost always the driving force. I’ve covered stories with all sorts of races and conventional standards of beauty throughout my career. The only demographic that I’ve ever seen get cast aside and not really given meaningful attention are boys and men who disappear. There are exceptions to that rule but, generally speaking, we cover the missing girl or woman much more readily than for boys or men.
This has never stopped the news media from screaming foul every time a case gets the attention that Gabby’s did when the victim is a white woman.
The media's focus on the Gabby Petito case has been frustrating for some people — who point out that the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous women doesn't get nearly the same media attention.https://t.co/CAEI82oXrL

“In the same area that Gabby Petito disappeared, 710 indigenous people— mostly girls—disappeared between the years of 2011 and 2020 but their stories didn’t lead news cycles …” https://t.co/HJ01B6CsRK

Eugene Scott is with the Washington Post. Eugene Scott didn’t know about those other missing people until Gabby went missing. He never bothered to look before so save us the sanctimony.
These hysterics are wonderfully ironic.
The news media is OVERWHELMINGLY liberal. Every survey of the media shows a vast majority are liberal. It’s been that way for decades. Some estimates have the media being around 85% Democrat/liberal. Analysis of the media’s political donations are well over 90% to Democrats. In some election cycles, the media donates to Democrats by as much as 96-97% over Republicans.
The media’s political ideology is only relevant because that same news media tells you constantly that the left is anti-racist and the right is racist.
So, the media says it’s racism that leads to missing white women getting more coverage than minority women but it’s the media who chooses what stories get covered and that media overwhelmingly identifies as being politically left?
https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2021/09/21/if-only-the-wapo-national-political-reporter-noting-that-media-have-largely-ignored-missing-indigenous-women-were-in-a-position-to-do-something/
If the news media thinks racism is what’s driving missing white women to get more coverage than non-white missing persons then the media should probably stop being so racist in their choice of what they cover, don’t you think?
It’s like the athlete gender pay gap nonsense. If women really cared about women athletes being paid as much as men, women would start watching women’s sports and support those athletes, but they don’t.
All the media has to do to change what stories get the most attention is to … change what stories get the most attention. They are the only ones to blame for this. No one else controls what stories get covered. Maybe stop constantly trying to demonize middle America and Trump for 5 minutes and focus on all of those non-white missing person cases you didn’t know about before lamenting the coverage of Gabby Petito. May she rest in peace and her family get justice.

Yesterday, Biden gave the most dictatorial speech in American history that sets the stage for the government to mandate any injection they want. Not only was the speech full of flat-out lies, divisive language, and pearls of tyranny with lines like: “This is not about freedom or personal choice.” Biden’s speech also had potentially dangerous advice for parents.
The safest thing for your child 12 and older is to get them vaccinated. They get vaccinated for a lot of things. That’s it. Get them vaccinated.
At no point did Biden point out that the vaccine is not FDA approved for children under 16. The vaccine is approved for people 16 and older. Children 12-15 are still considered under the emergency authorization. The FDA has plainly said not to vaccinate children under 12.
This is important because a growing body of research shows that the younger you are, the more likely to have serious side-effects.
As I’ve always said, you should assess your risk from COVID vs the vaccine. Luckily, most people are not in danger from COVID. People with obesity (regardless of age) and comorbidities are at risk.
Well …
“A team led by Dr Tracy Hoeg at the University of California investigated the rate of cardiac myocarditis – heart inflammation – and chest pain in children aged 12-17 following their second dose of the vaccine,” reports the Telegraph.
“They then compared this with the likelihood of children needing hospital treatment owing to Covid-19, at times of low, moderate and high rates of hospitalisation.”
“Researchers found that the risk of heart complications for boys aged 12-15 following the vaccine was 162.2 per million, which was the highest out of all the groups they looked at.”
This compares to the risk of a healthy boy being hospitalized as a result of a COVID infection, which is around 26.7 per million, meaning the risk they face from the vaccine is 6.1 times higher.
Even during high risk rates of COVID, such as in January this year, the threat posed by the vaccine is 4.3 times higher, while during low risk rates, the risk of teenage boys suffering a “cardiac adverse event” from the vaccine is a whopping 22.8 times higher.
This is just the latest study to sound the alarm on young people and the vaccines. I’ve been talking about this research for months.
Biden and his acolytes haven’t been following the science at all from the very beginning, but his assertion that the ‘safest thing for your child’ is to get vaccinated appears to be very wrong according to the current body of clinical research.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t get a COVID vaccine and I’m not saying the COVID vaccines will do the same as in this story. I do want you to know that the CDC has rushed vaccines for pandemics and pushed their safety. Sometimes, this led to disastrous results. Some of the current COVID vaccine side effects are the same as in the 1970s.
Even if the number of serious adverse reactions is rare, considering the vast majority of people aren’t in danger of dying from COVID, people shouldn’t be compelled to get one without knowing the long-term effects, if there are any. Especially since there are safe and effective treatments available.
What I find so interesting about this story is that the ‘experts’ rushed to make a vaccine because of unsubstantiated media reports and our government shoved it down people’s throats. They then hid the side effects from the public so more people would get the vaccine citing a ‘consensus of the scientific community.’ They then used celebrities to promote the vaccine. Sound familiar?
Fast forward to another pandemic I actually covered in my career. I was alone for a long time mocking the ‘swine flu’ pandemic. Ultimately, I was proven correct.
WHO Admits No Deadly Mutation Of Swine Flu
Flying Pigs Saga Continued
WHO admits to faults in handling of swine flu pandemic
Keiji Fukuda, the WHO’s top influenza expert, said the UN agency’s six-phase system for declaring a pandemic had sown confusion about the flu bug, which was ultimately not as deadly as the widely feared avian influenza.
“The reality is there is a huge amount of uncertainty [in a pandemic]. I think we did not convey the uncertainty. That was interpreted by many as a non-transparent process,” Mr Fukuda said.
Again, sound familiar?
Not only has the CDC and WHO repeatedly been caught being dishonest during the COVID pandemic, they have a long and rich history of this behavior.
Dr. Dan Stock went viral at the beginning of August 2021 when he gave testimony at to Mount Vernon Community School Corporation in Indiana about mask mandates and more.
You can listen to his testimony here:

After our schedules not lining up we finally got together to chat about his testimony, masks, vaccines, and COVID treatments on August 13, 2021.
A lot of what he said is information I’ve been giving you throughout the pandemic and other experts have been pointing these things out as well.
Later in the show, I addressed some of his critics and how they were wrong given the published science. You can find that show on my Rumble @CaseyTheHost.
Here’s the research Dr. Stock cited in his testimony that he gave to the board for review:
Enjoy.
