Ongoing US GOP Debacle Thread: Seditious Republicans march toward authoritarianism

Feel free to keep pointing to opinions as evidence of... well, anything, while ignoring the mountain of facts that always seems to pile up on the contradicting side. Well done col anus.
 
Examples of “left wing news” rushing to judgement or labeling these cadets white nationalists?
 
Check post #5155 for many examples of left wing news channels rushing to judgment.

See below from Forbes magazine:

In this era of rising hate-crime violence and racial animus, it is comforting to see so much vigilance surrounding the scorn of bigotry. But at the same time, it is unsettling, and downright distressing, to witness the rush to judgment on social media. Last weekend, venerated journalists, celebrities and thought leaders willingly impugned a group of young cadets and midshipmen to their millions of combined followers on Twitter without any insight into the facts of the case. The pitchfork army does not wait for investigations or even until commercial break. It screams for immediate action, and then moves on. And when it is wrong, it seldom offers mea culpas.

“Cousin Junebug, what are you doing this Christmas Eve?”

“Looking for pictures of musicians to own the libs!”

I don't really know what we're arguing about here. The "OK" symbol is decades old and had no racial connotations. It still has no racial connations for the vast majority of the population. But several years ago racists started using it to flash "white power" in public and because it has an accepted non-racist meaning in the population at large that gives them plausible deniability when called on it.

The Navy and Army cadets may have been playing the circle game but the only way an investigation would have found out otherwise is if one of them was stupid enough to admit to it. It was in both cadets and the academies interest for that to be the outcome of the investigation.

These posts suggest that there isn’t much family in this picture. Sad!
