  • White supremacists love DeSantis!

    ...or not.

    Rolling Stone got caught selectively editing.

    [Language warning]

    Rolling Stone magazine gathered no moss with its reporting that the neo-Nazis protesting in Florida over the weekend are DeSantis supporters. They weren’t DeSantis supporters and thanks to backlash, the magazine had to issue a correction for the mention.

    When one of the marchers yelled, “We’re all DeSantis supporters!”, that was the only part of the quote the article printed. The correction to the article reads:
    UPDATE 9/4/23 11:52pm: The original version of this article quoted a marcher as saying, “We’re all DeSantis supporters!” without including his second remark, “F*** Ron DeSantis! Ron DeSantis is a joke. Ron DeSantis is a joke.” The story has been updated.

    Oh. Yeah, that last part of the quote shines a whole different light on the protesters’ motivation.

    The leader of the protesters, Christopher Pohlhaus, is a Biden supporter.

    I can't really say I'm surprised at this point. Wasn't Rolling Stone one of the fine folks who published fake Sexual Assault allegations without vetting them? I think they were also one of the various news sites that declared a certain November Challenge (Whose Title I Probably Can't Say Without Getting Modded), "Alt-Right/White Supremacist Propaganda."

      I guess the faux white supremacists (complete with tiki torches!) used in Virginia and who pretended to be Youngkin supporters, were busy.

        Eagerly awaiting Juvenal and Hypatia coming here to claim we shouldn't pay attention to this story because the source is so terrible or a Russian front.

          Like Saturday Night Live, Rolling Stone Magazine was actually relevant .... once. And that's when I paid for a 1-year subscription and they never delivered. I'm still angry. And that was around 1974.

            The bigger issue, IMO, is the fact they believe they can indict someone for something totally beyond their control.

                Rolling Stone needs to stick with writing about rock and roll, because they suck at hard news.
                Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                Than a fool in the eyes of God

                  The word "hard" above is unnecessary.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      I didn't see a link to the original story.

                        It was there where they talked about the correction.

                          Scroll down in the story and the link is there with the second instance of the word correction

                            Included in the second paragraph (but listed as "The correction to the article" which could cause some confusion).

                            DRAT. I see that the mangy pirate already mentioned it.

                            RTT as well.

                              Getting slow.

                              Also the article is written by a Karen.
