National News: Simply using AI, I used three; Gemini, ChatGPT, and Grok, all three came to the same conclusions. Though some of these are not disputed, others inflate the actual issue or fail to show they were later retracted. I am posting this because of the recent banning of media outlets at the White House press room, understanding that it is a privilege to be there and not a right, other media outlets are now boycotting the room. I am a firm believer in if you can control the media then you can control society. Donald J. Trump and his advisors should reconsider this and instead of banning them combat them with facts and not conjecture. Strongly supported as misleading initial coverage: Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation: CNN and much of the press treated the New York Post’s 2020 reporting as likely Russian disinfo or not worth covering. The laptop was later authenticated by the FBI in court, the New York Times, and Washington Post. The “disinfo” framing was false. Breitbart Jussie Smollett: Initial coverage treated the alleged MAGA attack as a hate crime. Police and courts established it was staged. That was a hoax. “Very Fine People” (Charlottesville): Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides” of the statue protest and separately said neo-Nazis and white supremacists should be “condemned totally.” The common media version that he praised Nazis is not what the transcript shows. Snopes later rated the “called Nazis fine people” claim false. Hands Up, Don’t Shoot: The “hands up, don’t shoot” account of Michael Brown’s shooting was not supported by the Department of Justice investigation or witness evidence. Covington Catholic students: The initial viral clip and headlines portrayed the students as aggressors against a Native American activist. Fuller video showed a more complicated encounter; the students were not the instigators as first depicted. Border agents “whipping” migrants: Video showed mounted agents using reins. Headlines and some commentary treated it as literal whipping. A DHS investigation found no whipping. Contested or later walked back Kamala Harris “never America’s Border Czar”: Multiple outlets, including CNN in 2021, used “border czar” or similar language after Biden assigned her the “root causes” portfolio for Northern Triangle migration. After she became the nominee, the same outlets emphasized she was never in charge of operational border security (that was DHS). Both the original label and the later denial contain spin. CNN ICE detains five-year-old: School officials said agents used the child as “bait.” DHS said the father fled on foot and left the child in a running car, so an officer stayed with him. Competing eyewitness accounts; neither side’s version is fully settled in public reporting. AP News Russia collusion: The Mueller report found insufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. It did document contacts and raised obstruction questions. “Collusion” as a completed crime was not established; the broader investigation was not invented from nothing. COVID lab-leak theory is racist / conspiracy: Early dismissal of the lab-leak hypothesis as a racist conspiracy was premature. U.S. intelligence later treated it as a plausible origin; the “racist” framing was an overreach. Weaker or more interpretive items: Several others on the list (tariffs exploding prices, “Trump destroying the White House,” specific Gaza photos, “900,000 kids hospitalized,” Biden “sharp as a tack,” Iowa poll, Melania documentary box office, etc.) mix prediction, framing, incomplete context, or later-corrected numbers. Some were genuine reporting errors; some were opinion presented as fact; some remain disputed. Bottom line: The list is one-sided and uses “hoax” loosely for everything from fabricated stories (Smollett) to incomplete video (Covington) to later-authenticated documents (laptop) to political branding fights (border czar).

This is the ad that some black Americans have lost their minds over and are burning their converse shoes and saying it's racist and depicts someone hanging from a tree and a KKK hood. Converse has apologized and pulled the entire multi million dollar ad campaign. Someone help me, where is this racism in this ad? This wasn't even a USA ad campaign. Picture of the print as in comments. #highlight #converse
