Not that we needed another example of a legacy media outlet being the enemy of the people, but NBC ‘News’ couldn’t help itself. On Wednesday, Kyle Rittenhouse posted online about being bitten by a brown recluse spider. An NBC ‘News’ writer and whoever handles the outlet's posts for X, teamed up on Thursday to spread some truly unbelievable disinformation and revisionist history.
Apparently, when Kenosha, Wisconsin, was set aflame by leftist rioters in 2020, it was just an overzealous ‘civil rights rally.’ Silly us for thinking otherwise. (READ)
Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin, was hospitalized after he was bitten by a venomous spider, the noted firearms enthusiast says. https://t.co/sPEoH0rhjy

Your propaganda outlet is pure evil

At this point, we're pretty sure that Satan sends his demons to observe ‘journalists’ to get tips on how to be more evil.
Legacy media outlets have been trying to convince us since 2020 that things weren’t so bad in Kenosha when rioters burned down sections of the town. You’ll recall CNN laughably claimed that the ‘protests’ were ‘fiery but mostly peaceful.’ Here’s a look back at that ‘civil rights rally.’
Civil Rights Rally? @NBCNews has become a parody account. 😂

Civil Rights Rally? I don't think I've ever spelled riot or mob action that way.

We thought nothing could top that screenshot at the time. Legacy media proved us wrong.
You’ll notice that the NBC ‘News’ poster referred to Rittenhouse as a ‘gunman.’
“opening fire at a civil rights rally” is insane https://t.co/FzywsRuoPW

So is calling Rittenhouse a ‘gunman’ pic.twitter.com/P4nc3kD723

I have never seen ‘gunman’ used in news as anything but a person suspected or convicted of using a gun unlawfully.

‘Gunman’ makes it sound like Rittenhouse was breaking the law and not justified in defending himself.
It's just more revisionism by NBC ‘News.’ Commenters remember what really happened.
“He ‘opened fire at a civil rights rally.’ Well, that is one way to say it. Another way to say it is he ‘opened fire during a riot.’ And yet another way to say it is he ‘opened fire on people who were trying to kill him and that he acted in self-defense according to a jury.’” pic.twitter.com/Yo86XUxqEX

Kyle Rittenhouse did not "Open Fire" at a Civil Rights rally, he shot 3 men in self defense, after they had attacked him during a riot.
— Spitfire (@RealSpitfire) May 8, 2026
Yeah, and he just randomly opened fire, too. pic.twitter.com/ovN7qsHoya

Kinda funny how someone can shoot three leftist rioters and hit three convicted felons.

It’s just the wildest thing. pic.twitter.com/fK7ak86cCD

Thankfully, Rittenhouse was able to defend himself.
It’s safe to say that the legacy media cannot course-correct and save itself, and that mass ‘journalism’ layoffs are necessary and welcome.
The wordsmithing of this headline is exactly the reason people hate and distrust the MSM. Leftist shills and hacks, virtually indistinguishable from Pravda. Zero journalistic objectivity or integrity.

This is why we celebrate when you all get laid off.

It is always a challenge to decide whether NBC employees are moronic or lying gutter scum. Maybe it’s just always both.
— Dan Gainor (@dangainor) May 8, 2026
Have a heart. No one should be insulting gutter scum by comparing it to any legacy media ‘journalists.’
