A journalist doing actual…journalism???

Quote:

Republicans, conservatives, I am sorry.

I also believed wholesale so much else that has since turned out not to be as I was told it was by NPR, MSNBC and The New York Times.

I believed that stories about Hunter Biden's laptop were Russian propaganda. Dozens of former intel officials said so. Johns Hopkins University said so. [https://sais.jhu.edu/news-press/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinformation-dozens-former-intel-officials-say].

"Trump specifically cited a "laptop" that contained emails allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden", said 'CNN Fact-Check', with plenty of double quote marks. [https://www.cnn.com/factsfirst/politics/factcheck_036fb62c-377f-4c68-8fa5-b98418e4bb9c]

I believed this all til it was debunked.

I believed that President Trump's campaign colluded with Russia until that assertion was dropped. [https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/aba-news-archives/2019/03/mueller-concludes-investigation/]

I believed that President Trump was a Russian asset, because the legacy media I read, said so [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book].

I believed in the entire Steele dossier, until I didn't, because it all fell apart. [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63305382].

Was there in fact an "infamous pee tape"? So many other bad things were being said about the man why not? [https://www.businessinsider.com/christopher-steele-trump-pee-tape-probably-exists-2021-10]

I believed that Pres Trump instigated the riot at the Capitol because I did not know that his admonition to his supporters to assemble "peacefully and patriotically" had been deleted from all of the news coverage that I read. [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-11/trump-team-hoping-peacefully-and-patriotically-will-be-shield]

Because of lies such as these in legacy media lies which I and millions of others believed half of our nation's electorate was smeared and delegitimized, and I myself was misled.

It damages our nation when legacy media put words in the mouths of Presidents and former Presidents, and call them traitors or criminals without evidence.

It damages our country when we cannot tell truth from lies. This is exactly what tyrants seek an electorate that cannot know what is truth and what is falsehood.

Through lies, half of the electorate was denied a fair run for its preferred candidate.

Thanks for setting the record straight Naomi. Now do COVID.

Already the weakest of the “Power Five” conferences, the league (Big 12) is hemorrhaging fans, wins, TV ratings and respect. (SA Express R. Bragg; Oct 12, 2016)

It takes real courage to admit how dumb and gullible you are.

And she'll still fall for whatever comes next because she is dumb and gullible.

I admire the fact that she has done a lot of searching about what is right, what is really the truth, and she states her apology clearly. Of course an apology is simply that wthout trying to correct and not let what happened, happen again.

I admire someone who embraces what the truth js even when its admitting her/our own faults.

Healing and forgiveness can come from this.

Being wrong on something isn't a fault. Most people are wrong on these issues because of deceptive activities from politicians they trust, and a media that can't report accurately. We should unify behind stopping the deception.

This is the one that is still mostly ignored or not known. See the J6 thread on here this very week and you have multiple people still claiming that Trump planned an insurrection and never tried to deescalate.

Admitting you are wrong is one thing. Changing why you were wrong (your attitude), is another.

If she truly admits she was misled, she has a responsibility as a journalist to discover who, what, where, and why these lies were propagated, and to report her findings.

Name the names, Naomi. Put those people behind bars, or out of power.

People we have been told we can trust, for decades, will stand in front of the cameras and boldly say, "that thing you think you saw, your eyes deceive you - let me tell you what really happened". Or they will present their credentials, like a red cross, and their account is gospel truth. And a huge segment of the society believes it. The ivermectin horse paste smear is a great example.

I think you'd get unanimous consent from the general public that truth and transparency is a necessity for a functioning society. Problem is, "it's the other guy that is deceived". HA!

I don't believe unification can happen until massively damaging truths are revealed that utterly destroy tribal factions. When a coordinated, evil agenda is behind the lies, it won't stop. Everyone needs to be ready for a steaming plate of crow, to get where we need to be.

Dr Wolf, your apology is noted. You are not forgiven and not forgotten. You should withstand the very shunning and ruin that you advocated for the wise conservatives and non-idiots that you flippantly and smugly disparaged and belittled. Actions have consequences. Period. The damage you contributed to a civil and free society is arguably criminal, but will not be prosecuted. Society however should prosecute you and the other millions of leftist lackeys with ruin and discredit. Forever. This is your punishment for others to see as a deterrent to future petty, control-hungry and vile tyrant wannabes. Only in this fashion can we continue to coexist. You are allowed to operate your life quietly, but you are forever to be seen as a fool to not lead or judge anyone. OK?

hey i think it's great you recognize the folly of your ways but i do not believe or trust that you have changed. you will not learn from your lessons which is blantantly obvious by the fact you have been tricked so many times which you listed. you lack crotical thinking skills and your opinion should be moot on any topic of merit moving forward. you are not to be trusted.

I think the schadenfreude here is well deserved and all, but every person that acknowledges their folly is a win for the good guys. I'm going to take the W.

While I understand the desire to take this attitude there is a better path.

The better path is for Wolf to join people like Joe Rogan and Bill Maher, Dave Rubin, and Matt Taibbi as folks that were HARD CORE liberals and are now using their influence to focus on truth and exposing lies. This is especially important because these are people with credibility in liberal circles and every time you have another one turn it encourages others to do so.

Make no mistake, this takes courage. It's hard to risk your job and livelihood. It's hard to risk your friendships. It's hard to risk family members wrath. I'm confident she is doing all of those things as a liberal journalist. It's why they call it "red pilling" though, once your eyes are open and you see the truth it's very hard to go back. In fact that bridge is now burned and you must go forward.

"I believed...because I was told...intel officials said so...because the legacy media I read..."

Bull****

I believed because I wanted it to be true.

That's why you were deceived. You were lying to yourself. You were unwilling to tell truth from lies.

Sorry, the willful blindness and lust for control cannot be forgiven. Leftists must be shunned and derided for their destruction. They must pay. There must be consequences. Maybe a scarlet C branded on their foreheads for dumbassery during Covid. The leftist anti-trumpers should have a scarlet T. Or both. So that everyone knows to avoid them and their opinions. Wait until the economy dissolves from their manufactured inflation.

Realize leftists would like nothing better than to cancel any liberals that get red pilled. They do not want their useful idiots hearing this.

Happy to see her recant.

But this woman is a basket case from top to bottom.



She isn't going to change anyone's mind.

The ends justify the means. It's the liberal slogan. Too little too late for those that are too stupid to question what they hear from libs.. If you think the media and Dems are above such destructive acts and harming America then you must have been asleep for a long time. Honor and integrity left those institutions long ago.
