Media Treatment of Fahrenheit 9-11 vs. SwiftVets

NRO notes that the mainstream media take on Avoirdupois 451 was that it might contain some small amount of error or misrepresentation, but that it was nevertheless an important and largely-accurate film.

The SwiftVets, of course, are just liars with nothing of any interest to say.

I don't see how the media can tout Avoirdupois 451 and then cry foul when the SwiftVets -- who are all eyewitnesses to the events they describe -- present their meticulously-footnoted documentary effort.

When Michael Moore suggests that Bush ordered the FBI to let the bin Ladin exit the country when no one else was flying -- despite the fact that planes were already flying, and Bush-critic/media-darling (redudancy alert) Dick Clarke actually ordered the plane to fly -- the media says that's a bit of "hyperbole" or maybe "loose language."

When the SwiftVets tell the stories of their time in the mud and blood, that's just an outright fabrication, and we know it's a fabrication, because hey, John Forbes Kerry says so.

Where's the Akefa-whiner's bullshit comments on this one? I figured he'd dribble all over this post as soon as it went up.

I just felt the urge to call Oliver Willis a fat, fucking, Soros-funded, humor-impaired, pathetic sack of Whopper-wolfing shit. Ah, I feel better.

Help the Google bomb brigade by linking to MM's website with the text "pathological liar" when you mention him.

I remember all the libs demanding that you go see the "documentary" before criticizing it. I wonder how many of them will read the book they denounce as "lies."
I just finished it an hour ago. I can't recommend it enough. That Kerry's "wounds" were glorified mosquito bites is beyond dispute. How is it that Bob Dole, who lost control of his arm, and Bob Kerry, who lost a leg, were awarded the same purple heart as John Kerry, all of his wounds treated with band-aids.
However, the real damning stuff is in the 2nd half, his anti-war years. There is still alot of ammunition to unload on this guy. Here's to hoping the Swift Vets keep firing.

You guys suck. You keep attacking this beautiful, lovable, handsome, pure, righteous, intelligent, honest, decent, GODLIKE man. He's God ALMIGHTY! WORSHIP JOHN KERRY. WORSHIP KERRY WORSHIP KERRY WORSHIP KERRY!!!!!!!!!!!! Kery rulez, bush drules! You guys are stuped dumies. Why don't you stop lying about this brave hero and stop idalizing chimperor Dubya? He didnt serve in Vietnam but Kery did. You cant answer that simple fact, can you? Huh? I dont hear any answers! You pathetic losers!

Heh, a little of that goes a long way. Now I have to go rehabilitate my spelling and grammar. And my common sense.

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
