You know that Covington Catholic and Nathan Phillips matter? Here is the rest of the story...


Covington Cathoic high schooler and Nathan Phillips

Paul Harvey's line is a bit of advice in this era of Fake News. AoSHQ's Weird Dave has Anatomy of a Narrative and Victory Girls' Marta Hernandez has Covington Outrage and the Enemies Within.

The two stories I linked address the issue. The initial media narrative of Nathan Phillips being a completely innocent victim of young Trump supporting hooligans turned out to be false. The actual facts show a far different situation. Your conclusions will likely be far different once you get into the nuance of what actually went on. The bottom line is never accept stories like this at face value in the media until you have looked into both sides of the issue. The left and media are lying to you.

So, by the way, are many so called conservatives. Perhaps National Review's Mr. Frankovich should have spent a little more time investigating the incident before pre-judging and reaching conclusionsUpdate:  Lincoln Memorial Hoax: Rich Lowry responds and took down Frankovich's post.  Mark Steyn responds to his former colleges at National Review.  Ace also has a few choice words.
