Fake news NBC deceptively edits 911 call, video from fatal police shooting in Columbus with knife-wielding black teen

To say that the so-called ‘mainstream’ media is in bed with Democratic efforts to gaslight our country into secession and civil war is an understatement and perhaps the biggest of the year so far.

The evidence is plain: Every time there is an incident in the country that can be exploited for the Democrats’ political gain, the media is right there to help in any way they can.

The most recent example stems from some major journalistic malpractice engaged in by NBC News in an effort to feed into the diabolical and patently false narrative that white cops frequently shoot unarmed black people because all white cops are monumental bigots who work for departments that encourage and perpetuate “systemic racism.”

Readers may have heard or seen reports in recent days regarding an officer-involved shooting in Columbus, Ohio, which resulted in the death of a 16-year-old black girl. But what you may not have heard is that the young woman was literally less than a second away from stabbing another black teen girl, perhaps to death, had the officer not quickly assessed the situation he arrived to find perhaps 10 seconds earlier.

After discovering quickly that an attack was underway and the suspect, Ma’Khia Bryant, was armed with a knife she was in the process of plunging into another human being, the officer, Nicolas Reardon, quickly drew his service weapon and shot her four times.

He literally saved the other girl’s life; it was the kind of righteous shooting that Hollywood used to write into cop movies before the ‘woke’ leftists who run Tinsel Town got on board the BLM train and stopped portraying police as protectors of our society (which they are).

But NBC News couldn’t tell that story either, apparently.

“In their report on the officer-involved shooting in Columbus, Ohio, NBC Nightly News deceptively edited the 911 call to leave out the part where the caller says a girl was ‘trying to stab us.’ They also don’t show viewers the knife in the attacker’s hand just before the shots,” NewsBusters media analyst Nick Foundcaro noted on Twitter.

“In stark contrast, CBS Evening News showed the important part of the 911 call. ‘These grown girls over here trying to fight us, trying to stab us,’ the caller says. They also slow down the video and zoom in on the knife in the attacker’s hand,” he added in a follow-up tweet.

“Call me bats**t crazy, but let me gently suggest that circulating a couple of edited and incendiary Rorschach test-style video clips of a few random incidents every summer in a nation of 330 million people may not be the best basis for sound public policy and social commentary,” added conservative commentator at the Claremont Institute Matthew J. Peterson.

“I mean I get that a dying televisual media needs to keep boomers glued to the screen according to the only mode of political-emotional discourse they know: all politics has to be a movie. And that we’ve rendered much of the rest of our populace functionally illiterate. But still,” he added.

In terms of news cycles, it’s been a millennia ago, but recall that in 2012 NBC News was caught doctoring audio of a phone call to police from George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in Florida, to make him sound like a racist.

The fact is, there is no ‘mainstream’ media anymore, just propaganda outlets whose sole objective is to serve their lords and masters in the Marxist Democratic Party.
