A Trump supporter was murdered in cold blood by an Antifa thug this weekend.
Which can mean only one thing: He must’ve deserved it, somehow.
Conveniently, Portland Mercury news editor Alex Zielinski was willing to reveal just how. Unfortunately, as Andy Ngo points out, she had to use fake news to do it:
This is the most horrific mistake I’ve seen in Portland journalism.
Far-left reporter @alex_zee of the @portlandmercury wrongly accused the murdered Trump caravan participant of being an armed man who supported terrorism. https://t.co/mlqoutnDiD pic.twitter.com/hCrl7GMrTn

Oops! Her bad, guys.
HELLO this is a very important correction! I know several other news outlets also misidentified this victim originally, so I want to make sure people take note: https://t.co/tR1E1wXfqt

But it’s not like she was the first one to make the “mistake”:
I'm a little disappointed that other outlets who trumpeted this name before us didn't acknowledge their mistake. (Maybe I missed something?)

So cut her some slack, already.
No, she missed something, all right. She missed the opportunity to not be a garbage person.

Well…it fit the narrative so perfectly, how could it not be true?

Doubt it was a mistake

They are intentionally deceiving or trying to control the narrative

Now that, we can believe.
Can you say “defamation?” https://t.co/ycOm2JDLGq

I hope they deeply regret getting sued by his family.
This shit isn't going to stop until these types of "mistakes" start ending these garbage "journalists."
