They&#8217;re pretending that threats of violence <em>from<\/em> angry pro-&#8220;pride&#8221; perpetrators are instead threats <em>against<\/em> them. The latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2023\/06\/12\/target-bomb-threat-pride\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">examples<\/a> are from The Hill and The Washington Post, which led with scaremongering headlines about &#8220;bomb threats over Pride items&#8221; while burying the real news: the bomb threats against Target came from pro-LGBT activists.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Target stores in at least five states receive bomb threats over Pride items,&#8221; read The Hill&#8217;s headline &#8211; the only part most people see.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The few readers who actually clicked the link were met with deceptive framing in the first paragraph. Not until paragraph six did the author reveal that these bomb threats that were emailed to news outlets in multiple states &#8220;accused the retail chain of betraying the LGBTQ+ community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post ran an almost identical headline, burying the real news a full eight paragraphs down and leading instead with scaremongering about &#8220;backlash over the retail chain&#8217;s Pride Month merchandise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This media horsepucky is the latest attempt to push a fake narrative about conservative extremists assaulting the pro-trans department store. That&#8217;s why the outlets used words like &#8220;latest example,&#8221; &#8220;backlash,&#8221; and &#8220;for its Pride month merchandise.&#8221; As far as we know, the bomb threats had nothing to do with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/conservative-fans-demand-answers-will-chip-and-joanna-gaines-side-with-target-or-against\/\" title=\"Conservative fans want to know: Will Chip and Joanna Gaines support Target or not?\">rainbow merchandise<\/a>, nor were they related to any other &#8220;examples&#8221; of &#8220;backlash,&#8221; such as peaceful conservative boycotts. Instead, they appear to be a direct result of LGBT lunatics not getting their way. The framing is intentional.<\/p>\n<h3>The Left&#8217;s &#8220;Pride Month&#8221; Playbook<\/h3>\n<p>This lede-burying exercise from The Hill is just the next page from the same &#8220;pride month&#8221; playbook the left has been running since May. Before the calendar even flipped to June, Target unveiled its aggressive rainbow merchandise, complete with pro-trans items for children and &#8220;tuck-friendly&#8221; swimwear. In no time, the company had moved many of its rainbow displays to the back of the store, citing nonspecific &#8220;threats.&#8221; When Target failed to produce any evidence for these allegations, its plummeting stock suggested the real &#8220;threat&#8221; was to its bottom line.<\/p>\n<p>That didn&#8217;t stop media propagandists from parroting Target&#8217;s unsubstantiated claims. PBS, for instance, declared without evidence that Target had endured &#8220;intense backlash from some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/when-lgbt-activists-flood-target-with-bomb-threats-media-pretend-conservatives-did-it\/\" title=\"LGBT activists sent bomb threats to Target, but media falsely blamed conservatives.\">customers including violent confrontations<\/a> with its workers.&#8221; NPR editorialized that the outrage resulted in &#8220;threats against employees&#8221; &#8211; a claim Target didn&#8217;t even make in its vague statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bomb threats&#8221; are a new low. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-blowout-vote-alabama-senate-makes-hormone-therapy-surgery-for-trans-kids-a-felony-protect-kids\/\" title=\"In Blowout Vote, Alabama Senate Makes Hormone Therapy, Surgery For Trans Kids A Felony: \u2018Protect Kids\u2019\">pro-transgender activists<\/a>, especially those occupying America&#8217;s newsrooms, habitually spin their own victimization as victimhood.<\/p>\n<h3>Public Opinion is Changing<\/h3>\n<p>Public opinion about transgender radicalism is rapidly changing. Based on a Gallup poll out just this week, a majority of Americans (55 percent) believe it&#8217;s &#8220;morally wrong to change one&#8217;s gender.&#8221; That&#8217;s up four points from 2021, despite poll results also showing more Americans now know a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nearly-7-in-10-active-duty-military-members-say-pentagon-is-politicized-under-biden\/\" title=\"Nearly 7 in 10 Active Duty Military Members Say Pentagon Is Politicized Under Biden\">transgender-identifying person<\/a>. Furthermore, nearly 70 percent of respondents said athletes should only be allowed to play on teams that match their sex, up a full seven points from 2021.<\/p>\n<p>As the cultural tide turns, &#8220;pride&#8221; activists, with the help of their media allies, have shown they&#8217;ll do whatever it takes to maintain their clutch on the narrative &#8211; including spinning their own bomb threats against themselves.<\/p>\n<hr><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ignoring the fact that the threats were directed at a store selling LGBT merchandise, not the media.<\/p>\n<p>Corporate media fabricate LGBT victimhood narrative, falsely claiming threats of violence against them instead of a store selling LGBT merchandise.
