The verdicts in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial have brought with them a near-record number of takes that simply ignore the facts. Clay Travis spotted one such example on ESPN during NBA coverage:
Hey @JalenRose Jacob Blake is still alive, not dead. And he was shot by police because he had a knife, refused to drop it, and a woman he’d sexually assaulted called police asking for protection. This is embarrassing @espn. pic.twitter.com/9ykTEq88tn

This is completely unacceptable @espn, you employ thousands of employees. If your talent is too dumb to know the facts, you have an obligation to educate them. And when you fail this badly you owe all your viewers a correction and public apology for your stupidity.

And if @Twitter and other social media sites truly wanted to correct lies that spread widely this is an easy correction. But they won’t do that. Because they want lies like this to spread, further divide us, and fuel the narrative that America is an awful country.

The misinformation just keeps on coming.
Again I've never seen anything like this. I don't ever want to hear about misinformation from Facebook memes. Like, again. Ever. A massive failure and done on purpose. https://t.co/2IlExQbtDw

The facts don’t matter — unless you’re not pushing the proper lefty narrative, and then social media outlets will suspend you.

The two options are “completely uninformed” or “intentionally lying.” Which is it?
