The New York Times has been flogging its own story that Justice Sam Alito had a “Stop the Steal” flag flying outside his house after the 2020 Election.
On closer examination, it seems the Times made the whole thing up.
An upside down flag is a signal of distress. The idea that it was a secret symbol of “Stop the Steal” is entirely a figment of the NYT’s imagination, without a shred of evidence to back it up - despite irrelevant links.
The Times loaded up its false claims with links, giving the impression that it had gobs of proof, but when you click on those links, they have nothing to do with “Stop the Steal.”
Here’s the Times’ first hair-on-fire story, by Jodi Kantor last week:
Wow, the Times has loads of links in that paragraph. They must have all kinds of proof that the upside down flag is a symbol of “Stop the Steal”!
Here’s what the links actually link to:
— “social media” — a Twitter post the day of Biden’s inauguration having nothing to do with “Stop the Steal”:
— “posts” - Again, nothing about “Stop the Steal” —
One guy saying, “I need to go buy a flag just so I can fly it upside down.”
Followed by commenters saying:
“turning your flag upside down doesn’t make you Australian”
”>Turning the American flag upside down is a sign of white supremacy!
>Stay tuned for your next nightly segment of NBC, where we'll be discussing the intricacies of hormone therapy for children!”
”This is the faggiest shit I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing on this board.”
They don't publish it for accuracy they publish it to incite their Marxist flash mobs. They know none of the brain dead democrats are going to click on the links, they are headline readers only.
I am sure Alex Newhouse has never had such notoriety and likely will never unless Karmela Harris appoints him as white supremacy suppression czar
