Everyone can agree that Renee Good's shooting as she drove into an ICE agent was tragic. She could have simply obeyed the order to get out of the car, instead of putting it in Drive. But the media and Democrats mangled the facts into Good was just a peaceful mom who was driving away from the villains in an exhibit of "classic de-escalation behavior."
Senior research analyst Bill D'Agostino and MRC Business associate editor Joseph Vazquez joined me to analyze the media's pretty bad Good analysis.
On CBS's Face the Nation, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) claimed Good was “sitting in her car peacefully,” and then it became the ICE agent “shouldn't be trying to get in front of a moving car." Which is it? Was she sitting or moving? Host Margaret Brennan didn't push for an answer. Omar said Team Trump shouldn’t defend the ICE agent, because “we can see in the videos that have been produced so far that what they are describing is really not what is taking place.”
Despite the ICE agent's video making it clear he was hit by Good's car, CNN State of the Union host Jake Tapper pretended it was unknown, then suggested to Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla): “It does seem that he stepped to the side and was able to avoid getting hit in a horrible way, and he was seen walking fine afterwards.” Mullin scolded Tapper for cherry-picking still images and not showing the video evidence.
MS NOW’s Ali Velshi and radical historian Heather Cox Richardson joined forces on Saturday to claim Good did nothing provocative at all. Velshi wanted to present this segment as one that was dedicated to facts, while Richardson smeared the ICE agent for “classic authoritarian behavior,” while Good displayed “classic de-escalation behavior.” This brings to mind Velshi standing in front of a raging fire during the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis in 2020 insisting the scene was "not generally unruly."
On Friday's Inside Politics, CNN host Dana Bash was unintentionally funny when she claimed that "historically," the leftist late-night comedians "condense and capture the feeling in society at any given moment." Bash pretended that “society” supported Stephen Colbert in summarizing the Trump reaction to the ICE shooting as “Only they determine the truth, and when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey.”
Plus: Hollywood leftists at the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards on CBS ranted about American "dictatorship" and "mediocre white guys." The show’s host, comedian Nikki Glazer, mocked CBS News under Bari Weiss as “See B.S. News.” And the media keep insisting that Trump-o-nomics is not working, after they insisted Bidenomics was underappreciated.
