Let’s get the Malkin facts straight, eh?

Posted by Andrew on Aug 27, 2008

First off, let’s read the post made by Paul Joseph Watson on PrisonPlanet.com.

Right off the bat we have Paul saying “several news outlets reported” that Jones had threatened Malkin. Who are these ‘news outlets’? Well, it seems just a few political blogs… Sorry, I don’t consider a blog a news outlet.

He then says “the same websites then claimed…” which would mean that all the websites listed would be saying the same thing, which in fact, they don’t.

The Gateway Pundit Blog indeed does say that Jones and his lackeys shouted “Kill Malkin” which is obviously is not true. What they did get right was that Alex ‘ambushed’ not only Malkin but also the Recreate68 protest. The video clearly shows him spying out Malkin and then running and gunning for her to shout and otherwise verbally assault Malkin.

Not only does the Gateway Pundit link to the People’s Press Collective, but Paul does as well along with a link to Political Byline.

The People’s Press Collective blog post says that she “was [verbally] attacked by protesters and … Alex Jones”. Well, that’s not exactly untrue, is it? It also goes on to say, “Another protester began shouting ‘Kill Michelle Malkin.’” I’m failing to see where they say that Jones made the shout. So, here we have one blog that Paul Joseph Watson falsely accuses of charging Jones with shouting the threat.

Watson then cites a Political Byline article which clearly states in it’s title that Jones “DID NOT threaten Malkin….” Now, I’m not sure if that was always there, things do get muddied up in the frenzy of news, but it is there now and Watson hasn’t made any attempt to modify his article. They followed up and so should he.

Both these articles mentioned by Watson do not in fact charge Alex Jones with making the threat, though there’s no doubt Alex did act in a threatening manner… more like an unleashed pitbull if you ask me.

The other article that did in fact get something wrong was by Politics West in which it stated that the march was led by Alex. Not likely since I’m pretty sure Alex knows he can’t levitate things, that’s what Recreate68 is for, right?

Now, I’m in no way saying that Malkin is right, she’s not. She is exactly what Alex said and I’m looking into identifying those two goons who appeared with Alex and most likely, we can’t be sure though since we can’t see the lips of those saying it, shouted the threat to Malkin.

What disturbs me most is how we simply accept Watson to promote BAD news. The effort put forth is great and very much appreciated, but only if that effort is truthful. Post good news and there’d never be a reason for this kind of site.

I’ll update further when updates to any of the sites mentioned are updated as well.
