Oh that reminds me the Hate Crimers are playing at 9:30 club tomorrow
I think more and more people though are skeptical of these "hate crime" stories. So many of them have gone viral, then are proven to be fake.
@Perihelion - CA This case is super high profile though
@NiceGuy good.
Them being proven fake doesn't matter cause nobody reads past headlines
Although synagogue bomb threats were super high profile before they got found out
People do notice this stuff
slowly, but they do
It’s already getting buried
The “attack” was plastered all over for a week, the “oh it was fake actually” was up for a day
this is how I judge news stories: how long it stays on the front page of Reddit
@ophiuchus fight the burial
AmRen has a hate crime hoax map which is full of these hoaxes, and they probably don't have the full list of the past few years.
that way I judge it with zero right wing bias
It’s baffling to me that people could read “the attackers screamed THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY NOW” and think “yeah this happened”
The Covington thing was actually on Reddit for days with people getting upvoted for saying that the kid was actually treated unfairly
Decent name for a rock group
"Fight the burial" lol
I swear people don’t go outside
After the burial @Jordan - MD
Reminder Pew news is bigger than any mainstream news show
True that^
@ophiuchus This so much. The original Reddit front page thread about Covington was about how trashy the kid was. Then, like two days later, everyone on Reddit was saying "wow, this is why we should wait for the facts to come out and not jump to conclusions". Wait for facts to come out? WTF was their to wait for? It was literally obvious in the original video that the kid was just standing there.
Lmao whitey smiled that's so horrible
How to get IE on Pew News..... 🤔
They just need to learn that the media lies constantly
Is this the true power of being smug?
But what strikes me is how the hell did they originally think they were right in the first place?
@Jacob they dont want to be right, they want to be left
“Did they think” there’s your problem
@Jacob True, they were like everyone left of Ben Shapiro, either seeing it as politically advantageous or too dumb to see the truth/wait for the whole story
Double Redditor is an insult for a reason
@Jordan - MD They do want to be right, but they don't think deeply about it. They probably upvoted the original thread without actually watching the video.
Bennie Israel got it wrong too
@Jacob totally agree. I was kinda just making a lame pun tbh
@NiceGuy But what's weird to me is there was no story to "wait for". It should have been obvious from the beginning.
The kid was literally standing there doing nothing
@TIDE *looks up After the Burial*

I mean, it’s not complicated or novel. If you believe something, you will ignore evidence to the contrary and everything coming it will be filtered through that lens. We do it too- it’s impossible not to. You can get better about watching yourself do it, but there are very intelligent people who believe very stupid things because if fits their reality tunnel better.
