Warped Thinking

Following along with the conservative template, McBride is again trying to twist the truth to match her own skewed and distorted view of reality. She writes a post complaining of the difference between the media coverage for the right and left candidates in last week's election.

She tries her darnedest, even to the point of flagrant lying, to try to make the right seem like victims. If she was alive during the time of Caesar, she would have tried to make Rome look like it was the one being persecuted and invaded by all the other countries.

One of her biggest doozies are these lines:
Jim Doyle runs picture of black sex offender in campaign ad: He did?

A conservative runs picture of black sex offender in campaign ad: Racist!

Now compare the picture you find from the ad, to the ad by Governor Doyle.

The Gableman ad puts the picture of a black sex offender immediately next to a picture of Louis Butler. The Doyle ad puts one black sex offender in a line showing five other sex offenders, who are white. Not exactly a worthwhile comparison. But that is how far she is willing to stretch the truth to promote her poisonous point of view.

Now, working without a safety net, I will try to perform a insanity-defying feat of taking the last two lines of said post, which read:
Michael Gableman runs ad that is "misleading": Despicable!

Louis Butler gives media a list riddled with outright falsehoods: Zzzzzzz.

and turn them into a factual manner:
Michael Gableman runs ad that is racist and dishonest: Business as usual for conservatives.

McBride can't do even basic fact checking, or make a logical conclusion when she does have the correct facts, even though she is a self-proclaimed faculty member that is supposedly teaching journalism: Business as usual for McBride! Let the echo chamber's linky love begin!

  1. Capper, here is where you cross the line:

    Business as usual for conservatives? Come on. You know, and can be better, than that.

  3. Hmmm, I thought satire involved wit. Sometimes you have it - here you missed it.
