You’re probably already familiar with this story. ‘Journalists’ and their fellow Democrats are trying desperately to derail the confirmation of President-Elect Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee, Pete Hegseth. To that end, ProPublica was set to publish a story based on lies. Apparently, an official at West Point lied to the ‘news’ outlet that Hegseth had never applied and been accepted for enrollment at the institution. This was only admitted to after Hegseth produced 25-year old documented proof that had indeed applied and been accepted by West Point. Oopsie! So, the story was killed. Of course, ‘journalists’ were patting themselves on the back because the obvious politically-motivated hit piece based entirely on lies didn’t get published. ‘Hooray for us!’

But, this created a REAL story: why did the official at West Point lie? Because, if that lie had been published, Hegseth would have been labeled a liar if he hadn’t held on to that decades-old document. Whew, that’s a lot of background.

That brings us to today. Republican Scott Jennings is having to chide a ‘journalist’ because they don’t believe their job is to go after government officials who lie to the them. No, really. Why? Because there’s just too many lies, darn it!

Read on.

Understand we’re not dealing with actual journalists, we’re dealing with ‘journalists.’ That generally denotes a Democrat/activist who pretends to be a journalist.

With that in mind, it’s understandable that ‘journalists’ don’t want to expose their lying government sources. Why? They supply ‘journos’ with lies and juicy tidbits they use to craft their narratives. Narratives like, Hegseth is a liar for saying he was accepted at West Point.

This poster gets it.

There’s no actual repercussions when a source lies. If so, how would we know? We don’t know who they are or if they even exist. ‘Journalists’ usually fall back on, ‘We’ll, that’s what my sources told me.’ Then they move on gleefully to their next target.

Washington D.C. is an ecosystem of lies. This next poster is right about that, but wrong that lies are no longer newsworthy.

It is a waste of time to go after small lies. But, when a lie impacts the reputation and livelihood of a person, in this case Hegseth, you have to pursue it. Especially, if you participated in spreading that lie. That’s if you’re an actual journalist.
