The Kyle Rittenhouse trial ended with an acquittal.
Many Americans wondered how Rittenhouse even ended up in this situation where authorities tried to lock a 17-year-old boy away for life and throw away the key.
And Tucker Carlson revealed a shameful truth about the Kyle Rittenhouse trial no one knew.
From the moment Kyle Rittenhouse shot three white Black Lives Matter rioters in self-defense this case became a political football for the Democrat Party and corporate media.
Joe Biden smeared Rittenhouse as a white supremacist in a campaign ad.
Critics contend prosecutors arrested Rittenhouse and charged him with murder to appease the violent Black Lives Matter mob out of fear of more riots.
But after the acquittal verdict came in, Tucker Carlson praised the jury.
Carlson explained that the jury reached the correct verdict despite a coordinated corporate media disinformation campaign to mislead the public about the case and pressure the jurors into ignoring the evidence and convicting Rittenhouse in service of a political narrative.
“There are a lot of rational, decent, thoughtful people on all sides of all races in this country who are still willing to think clearly about what is right, what is wrong, what is factual, what is false, what is just, and what is not. And today, they did. So that’s the real lesson here,” Carlson began.
“In the face of all of that propaganda,” Carlson added, “a group of jurors in Kenosha, Wisconsin, were brave enough to reach the right and obvious conclusion anyway. Amen.”
Media critic Drew Holden catalogued the corporate media lies from the moment Rittenhouse shot three Black Lives Matter rioters in self-defense through the trial.
CNN lied about Rittenhouse being a murderer.
We need to start with the media coverage that framed this case in the public mind.
To the press, Rittenhouse was as good as guilty when the news broke. So naturally, to @CNN, the people he shot in self defense were heroes & those defending him had “justified murder.” pic.twitter.com/jsMxd4547N

MSNBC host Joy Reid smeared Rittenhouse as a white supremacist.
Perhaps no one in the media has spent more time sharing inaccurate information than @JoyAnnReid. This was no exception.
She lumped Rittenhouse in with “white nationalist mobs” and accused Trump of “ethnic cleansing” (!!) for daring to defend Rittenhouse. pic.twitter.com/gtl1HLnLDZ

Fact-checkers falsely claimed Donald Trump lied about rioters chasing Rittenhouse.
Speaking of fact checks, here’s @PolitiFact claiming that Trump lied when he said Rittenhouse was trying to get away from protestors and was attacked – both details have since been confirmed by video.
Will you update your inaccurate post, Politifact? Or the gun charge details? pic.twitter.com/eAER1xtknv

National Public Radio also lied by writing that Trump claimed without evidence that Rittenhouse defended himself.
@NPR picked up on a similar sentiment, knocking Trump for “claiming, without evidence, that it appeared the gunman was acting in self-defense.”
Now we’ve had a court of law confirm it was using videos and context many of which were available at the time. pic.twitter.com/nFERWhOrvv

Reuters claimed the rioter that pulled a gun on Rittenhouse was a survivor and CBS lied calling Rittenhouse a murderer.
Also, as a call out, this type of deceptive coverage is still going on.
During the trial, @Reuters described someone who attacked Rittenhouse as the “survivor of shooting by U.S, teen” while @CBSMornings said Rittenhouse “murdered two men” (h/t @BecketAdams) pic.twitter.com/6cGZd5F9xC

None of these errors were by accident.
Americans saw for years how all the corporate media’s “mistakes” all ran in one direction – against Donald Trump – and refused the pleas by corporate media members that they made these errors in good faith.
That lie no longer holds water as Americans understand the corporate media is filled with left-wing partisans who view their job as taking a given set of facts and spinning them in the Democrat Party’s favor and against the Republican Party.
Corporate media outlets tried to create a climate of fear surrounding this case to intimidate jurors into convicting Rittenhouse.
In addition to the misinformation campaign surround the facts of the case, the judge banned MSNBC from attending the trial after one of the network’s freelancers received a traffic citation for running a red light while stalking the jury bus and trying to take the jurors’ pictures.
But Tucker Carlson congratulated the jury for standing up to an unprecedented attempt by the corporate media to undermine the fair and impartial criminal justice system in America and ignoring the lies and bullying to hand down the correct verdict.
