Kyle Rittenhouse was only 17 when he shot three people in self-defense, killing two and injuring the third, during a fateful night in Kenosha where a Black Lives Matter riot was underway. Rittenhouse found himself in the precarious position of having angered members of Antifa, the domestic terrorist group that often exacerbates unrest until it becomes a "firey but mostly peaceful" riot.
Of course, Rittenhouse was charged with a load of felonies and convicted of none of them...and the left hasn't forgiven him since. Attempts to take down the now 20-year-old Rittenhouse are as sure as death and taxes. None of these attacks are fair, and every single one since the beginning has been nothing short of petty.

Recently, Rittenhouse appeared in an interview with Tucker Carlson on X where the discussion of the media came up, and it highlights a very interesting fact. Carlson was willing to ask the questions the media weren't. These weren't groundbreaking questions. There was no grand revelation from Rittenhouse about anything in particular.
The interesting part of this interview was that Rittenhouse came off as what he is, a normal human being.

This is far more than the media was willing to give him. It did, however, give that courtesy to the people Rittenhouse had to defend himself from.
According to the media, Rittenhouse was many things. A murderer, a conservative psychopath, a white supremacist, and on and on. But according to that same media, the people who attacked Rittenhouse, forcing him to defend himself, were pure as the driven snow. They were victims just trying to defend the rights of black people in America and lending their support to the oppressed.
This is far from the truth.
The media tried to make Gaige Grosskreutz out to be a victim of Rittenhouse's who just out trying to help everyone by disarming a crazed armed teenager. In truth, he charged at Rittenhouse with his own firearm and an intent to harm. Moreover, Grosskreutz had a long criminal history including abuse of his grandmother and harassment and destruction of property of his ex-girlfriend.
Then there was Joseph Rosenbaum, who died attempting to attack Rittenhouse. If you were to believe the media and celebrities like Mark Ruffalo who called him cute names like "JoJo," you would have thought Rosenbaum was just a great guy in the wrong place at the wrong time and was murdered by Rittenhouse in cold blood.
Nope. JoJo was a pedophile with a few other crimes attached to his name too.
You wouldn't have known any of this if the mainstream media had its way. This information was leaked from alternative sources, exposing these people that Rittenhouse had to defend himself from for who they were...criminals.
If you zoom out for a second from the Rittenhouse story, you have to ask yourself a simple question. If the media was willing to lie to you through omission about Rosenbaum and Grosskreutz, what else aren't they telling you? What's left on the cutting room floor of any given story? What information are they sitting on that could change America's entire perspective about any given person or event that they're refusing to talk about because it would lead to problems for the left?
They were willing to defend a known pedophile.
Anyway, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself. Enjoy your weekend.
