ell, I finally took a look at that idiotic Conservative tree
house site that Snopes mentioned as the source of that inept hatchet-job on
Philando Castile I commented on the other day. It was about as inane as I
figured it would be. I mean, it’s always a good idea to take a look at things
for yourself if possible, and every once in awhile it pays off, but this wasn’t
one of those times.
No, the article there is every bit as idiotic as advertised.
The site turns out to be devoted to breitbarting the news, meaning that
anything there would have to be checked against authentic sources before being
considered, and a lot of disinformation is being passed on. For example it is
stated as a fact (now disproved by the family’s release of the document) that
Castile had no permit for his gun, and that it is a fact (now disproved by the
officer’s own lawyer’s statement) that the car was not stopped for a broken
taillight. I didn't bother with going any further; when a source gets things
this elementary wrong it’s not worth my time and attention. Or yours either, I
imagine.
