Earlier this week we told you about a Washington Post report with a headline indicating that Target stores in at least five states had been evacuated after receiving bomb threats. Clearly the conclusion the Post wanted readers to come to right off the bat was that the evacuations were due to bomb threats from people on the Right, when in fact that wasn't the case (but you had to read well into the story for that fact):
News outlets in Vermont, New Hampshire and New York received the same threatening email Saturday, according to South Burlington Police Chief Shawn Burke. The message, which accused Target of betraying the LGBTQ+ community, named a store in South Burlington, Vt., and ones in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and in Keene and West Lebanon, N.H.
Ah yes, more dishonest headline framing from the MSM. But the WaPo wasn't the only media outlet avoiding putting the narrative-busting reality into their headlines.
Drew Holden has a story at the Free Beacon as well as the following threat exposing more media hackery:
Someone upset that Target had “betrayed” the LGBT community by caving to protests recently called in bomb threats.

Rather than tell the truth, the media framed the story in reverse, claiming it was an attack on pride.
I run through some lies. @FreeBeacon https://t.co/WzDD8SCMIN
The aforementioned Washington Post story leads off the shameful "journalism":

Not to be outdone, Newsweek really brought the dishonest hackery:
And this from @Newsweek is even worse.

It’s just an outright lie. pic.twitter.com/56VPWYdUjx
And you can't have a story about journalistic malpractice without a cameo appearance from USA Today:

Vox was of course all over it, in their own way:
I’ll add that, at least so far, the “stochastic terrorism” experts are oddly quiet on this one. pic.twitter.com/6tFzHtoSVj

The moral of the story is a familiar one:
The media lies to you every day. https://t.co/ID1pJpKnAj

And they show no signs of slowing down. Quite the opposite, if anything.
