A leading British newspaper, caused outrage when it claimed in a sub-headline that Kyle Rittenhouse had “shot three black men.”
Not long after a jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin found Rittenhouse not guilty of murder, attempted murder and reckless endangerment, The Independent newspaper updated its front-page coverage of the trial. The sub-headline, which has now been taken down, said:
“Full story: Teenager who shot three black men with rifle found not guilty on all charges.”

All three of the men shot by Rittenhouse were actually white.
RT The line was false, as Rittenhouse was on trial for shooting three white men, during a ‘Black Lives Matter’ protest that devolved into a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin last August. Rittenhouse shot and killed convicted child rapist Joseph Rosenbaum and felon Anthony Huber, both of whom attacked him first. He shot and wounded Gaige Grosskreuz, after Grosskreutz pointed a handgun at him, and the jury on Friday found that the teenager acted in self-defense in all three cases.
While the sub-headline was taken down shortly afterwards, an archived version can still be accessed.
Rittenhouse’s trial was a media spectacle, and throughout the three weeks of testimony, arguments and deliberations, commentators watching the trial frequently hammered the mainstream media for painting a different version of events from the story actually playing out in court. Judge Bruce Schroeder also took the media to task from the bench on numerous occasions, calling coverage of the trial “scary” and “grossly irresponsible.”
The Independent was not the only newspaper to make a mistake in relation to the race of the three men who were shot. Singapore’s Straits Times described the victims as black, before issuing a correction and apologizing for the error. A Dutch news site, NU.nl, also described them as “black Americans,” before editing out their race entirely.
Such coverage apparently misled some readers. In one tweet that went viral earlier this week, journalist Glenn Greenwald unearthed a tweet from a liberal commenter who said that despite being “highly educated and reasonably perceptive,” she only learned a week before the verdict that “the Kyle Rittenhouse victims were white.”
“My progressive bubble made this seem like a very different case than it is,” she added.

Thought the media wasn’t going to reveal the rave of people anymore because it’s “offensive”. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3b8c08169553f212d6e7682bdf2ed32fce8ab66be08d6636d02d38386e34799d.jpg

Oops is incorrect. Inetentions are everything when creating a race class war impression on the humb skulls full of booze and “recreational” drugs supplied by corruptions and criminals and laundered by the usual suspects. Why do you think they let Chaes Manson get away with so many crimes for so long? As if they didn’t know.
Because they were paid actors by the NWO
where was WTF bazooka joe at to take down the crazy tass pee shooter
Why the phuck are the limeys opining on something that has nothing to do with them? Stay in your own lane. We have more than enough corrupt media here.
