Reporter Who Was Harassed By Antifa Fired For Covering Protests Accurately

by | Mar 29, 2022 | Blog, Conspiracy, Fake Hate, Fake News, Idiocracy

Jonathan Choe, was a reporter for KOMO News in Seattle, WA.

He wrote an article on Medium that he was fired for how he covered a Proud Boys rally. The Proud Boys are a group that has been falsely labeled as a white supremacist hate group by alt-left extremist organizations in spite of The Proud Boys clearly rejecting racism in their charter and allowing all races to join their ranks while being led by a man who is not white.

I interviewed a Black Proud Boys member a while back after the group was falsely blamed for violence in Kalamazoo, MI (in my listening audience) by local authorities and politicians. Those same authorities were forced to admit The Proud Boys were the victims in Kalamazoo.

Yahoo News:

Choe was covering the rally in the Washington state capital of Olympia earlier this month. He tweeted a photo montage of the Proud Boys rally, including some controversial music in the clip. That drew outrage from the Twitterati, who allegedly accused him of being a “white supremacist.”

Choe is Asian. Then again, left-wing cultists now say Asians are White people.

Choe responded to the false allegation regarding the ‘controversial music:’

In a Tweet recapping the day, I decided to create a photo montage with natural sound from the march(in TV news this is what’s called a “NAT Pkg”). One of my videos picked up music blasting from a speaker strapped over the shoulder of one of the protesters. I could not make out the words and had never heard this song in my life. You could also hear car horns and the footsteps of marchers as I weaved in and out of the crowd. I laid some photos over this natural sound from the video and hit send.

I later learned the song is called “We’ll Have Our Home Again,” and is sometimes played at white nationalist rallies. This piece was never meant to air on KOMO News and it never did. I wanted it to be a conversation starter, and it sure did incite an unexpected response. In hindsight, I wish I added more context to this Tweet. But before I could clarify or respond to the criticism, my news director told me to take down all my social media related to the Proud Boys march. I was also told by my boss not to speak to any outside media. The following day, I was fired from KOMO.

I’d never heard the song before either. The version used during the rally appears to be Pine Tree Riots – We’ll Have Our Home Again.

The Pine Tree Riot was an act of resistance to British royal authority undertaken by American colonists in Weare, New Hampshire on April 14, 1772 – Wikipedia

Everything that has its roots in patriotism is labeled as ‘white nationalist’ by the alt-left blue anon conspiracy theorists.

There’s nothing in the lyrics to suggest the song is racist in any way without severe mental gymnastics. Whether or not it’s played at ‘white nationalist’ rallies is irrelevant. I’m still waiting for someone to define what a ‘white nationalist’ actually is. They keep freezing up when I ask that question.

Allowing any group to coopt anything to become their own is a sign of societal weakness. Just because a small group uses a symbol that is commonplace, doesn’t mean that symbol now exclusively represents that small group. To say otherwise is silly.

Choe was fired by KOMO because he didn’t lie about The Proud Boys and their rally. It was peaceful and he reported it as such. For that, he was fired.

You’ve heard me mention Jonathon Choe on my show before. He was harassed by antifa for covering the homeless crisis in Seattle.

Andy Ngo, another Asian journalist harassed and attacked by antifa, posted a montage of the vile attacks on Jonathan Choe by antifa:

The word has gone out … if you are an honest journalist and tell the truth without falling in line, you will be removed.

 

 

 

Western Media Is Openly Embracing Real Nazis Now?

Western Media Is Openly Embracing Real Nazis Now?

by | Mar 7, 2022 | Blog, Fake News, Featured, Idiocracy, Monumental Idiots

I know, you are sick and tired of everyone flippantly throwing around the word ‘Nazi.’ So am I. The frivolous use of the word as a catch-all slur for anyone liberals disagree with is annoying. However, real neo-Nazis do exist. A lot of them are in Ukraine.

Point of clarification since people are inevitably going to take this out of context.

Ukraine is not a Nazi country. Most of the country is very tolerant. In the east, however, there are Nazis. Not as many as Putin would have you believe, but they are there and they have committed war crimes against the people Putin is claiming to protect.

Recently, the UK Daily Mail ran this headline:

Russian separatist warlord who led Neo-Nazi ‘Sparta’ mob is shot dead during battle in eastern Ukraine town in fresh blow to Putin’s floundering invasion

Interesting that the Russians are alleging the Ukrainians are Nazis and now the Western media is declaring Russian allies as Nazis. Zhoga is called a neo-Nazi in dozens of Western media outlets after he was killed. No one provides any actual evidence of this.

For the record, Zhoga has been accused of and appears to have admitted to war crimes. He’s no peach. But is he a neo-Nazi?

I can’t find anything about Zhoga or the Sparta Battalion (who DM refers to as a ‘mob’) being Nazis. I have found a LOT about them accusing Ukrainians of being Nazis and fighting against those Nazis murdering their people.

In fact, even in the Daily Mail’s article accusing Zhoga of being a neo-Nazi, they printed that the announcement of his death accused the Ukrainians of being Nazis.

Sparta fights for the DPR. Denis Pushilin is the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). He announced the death of Zhoga on his Telegram.

He was mortally wounded while ensuring the exit of civilians from this settlement. Scouts “Sparta” covered the evacuation of civilians, mostly women and children. The Nazis opened fire on them…

The Nazis in this announcement are the Ukrainian forces. The head of the DPR said Zhoga was killed protecting civilians from the Nazis who opened fire on the civilians.

The Daily Mail published that nearly halfway down their article after they accused Sparta of being neo-Nazis. Daily Mail either missed it, as did everyone else repeating the claim, or they are intentionally lying to you.

It gets worse …

Look at this screengrab from just a few minutes before I wrote this article.

That’s the Wikipedia page on the Sparta Battalion. There is no reference to them being neo-Nazis in the entire article. Zero results for ‘neo’ for ‘Nazi’ and for ‘white.’ No one has considered Sparta Battalion to be neo-Nazi before now when it suits the Western powers that be to push that narrative.

Now, look at this from the search results for that exact same Wikipedia article:

The search results for that Wikipedia page claim Sparta are neo-Nazis but the actual article doesn’t … yet.

Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger recently:

Larry Sanger has warned that the website can no longer be trusted — insisting it is now just “propaganda” for the left-leaning “establishment.”

“If only one version of the facts is allowed then that gives a huge incentive to wealthy and powerful people to seize control of things like Wikipedia in order to shore up their power,” he said.

“There’s a global enforcement of a certain point of view on issues like COVID,” he insisted.

The Ukrainian AZOV Battalion is widely recognized as neo-Nazis. The US government attempted to ban any funding of them with Ukrainian aid packages. A ban that was removed for … reasons.

AZOV Battalion – NBC News

NBC – News: German TV Shows Nazi Symbols on Helmets of Ukraine Soldiers

The Ukrainian AZOV Battalion and the DPR Sparta Battalion are enemies. Are the neo-Nazi groups fighting each other? Why does Sparta constantly refer to their enemies as Nazis in a derogatory way?

It seems that Sparta Battalion and their former leader Vladimir Zhoga are not actually neo-Nazis but are, in fact, in a war against actual neo-Nazi units.

Sidebar: The AZOV Battalion used to be a privately funded gang that was funded by rich oligarchs but was officially absorbed into the Ukrainian National Guard by former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko. Poroshenko praised AZOV as:

“These are our best warriors,” he said at an awards ceremony in 2014. “Our best volunteers.”

In fact, so did NATO’s Atlantic Council.

40 members of the US Congress tried to have AZOV declared a terrorist organization. This is a great writeup about that situation:

Is the Azov Battalion a terrorist organization as 40 US House Democrats claim?

This brings me to the next story.

Russian soldier THREATENS Ukrainians with two grenades in his hands, demands surrender

Remember that story? The mayor of Konotop appealed to the city and asked if they wanted to fight or surrender. They chose to fight. I even covered it on my show. A harrowing story of bravery, right? What I didn’t know is that the mayor being lionized by the West is a for-real neo-Nazi.

His name is Artem Semenikhin. He’s the mayor of Konotop in the North East of Ukraine.

From 2015:

Local Jews in shock after Ukrainian city of Konotop elects neo-Nazi mayor

According to reports, Semenikhin drives around in a car bearing the number 14/88, a numerological reference to the phrases “we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” and “Heil Hitler”; replaced the picture of President Petro Poroshenko in his office with a portrait of Ukrainian national leader and Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera; and refused to fly the city’s official flag at the opening meeting of the city council because he objected to the star of David emblazoned on it. The flag also features a Muslim crescent and a cross.

Oh my.

From 2019:

Anti-Semitic politician beaten in Ukraine

Ex-mayor of Konotop severely maimed, attack linked to his political activity

Semenikhin attempted to run for Parliament and a new mayor was elected in Konotop but died of COVID shortly after that in late 2020.

Oleksandr Luhovyi, who was elected mayor of Konotop in the October 25 election, has died from an illness

New elections were held and Artem Semenikhin regained his old post as mayor of Konotop.

Given that Artem Semenikhin is a neo-Nazi with a criminal history, why did PBS put him on their programming to promote his bravery?

PBS Hosts Neo-Nazi Ukraine Mayor, Blurs Image of ‘Hitler Accomplice’ Behind Him.

Now, when I covered the story of Konotop’s ‘surrender or die’ predicament, I didn’t know who Semenikhin was. I could forgive PBS for the same except they tipped their hand.

You see, behind Semenikhin in the PBS story is a painting of Stepan Bandera. Bandera was a Ukrainian politician and Nazi sympathizer during WWII. PBS knew that and that’s why they blurred the painting out.

Here’s the picture blurred on the wall of Stepan Bandera:

Screenshot for posterity:

I suppose you could say PBS didn’t do this intentionally and it was just a standard blur filter that streamers use all the time, but I’d find that claim dubious, at best.

Just so we are clear … Western media seems to have falsely accused a pro-Russian commander and his whole unit of being neo-Nazis when they are actively engaged in hostilities with a confirmed neo-Nazi unit while PBS knowingly put neo-Nazi on their programming and hid a painting of a well-known Nazi ally hanging on his wall while they did it.

Good thing the West has banned all Russian media outlets so their narrative doesn’t get challenged like with so many fake Ukrainian stories exposed so far in the conflict.

 

 

Liberal News Media FUMES That They Choose To Cover Missing White Women More Than Others

by | Sep 22, 2021 | Blog, Conspiracy, Fake News

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.

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.
