Til;dr never trust MSM. Even when POC literally die beside them, there’s always a young white woman available to be propped up to support their narrative, even against her will.

EDIT-ORIGINAL TITLE: As we all hear more stories out of the latest conflict about Shani Louk, it’s a good time to remember the predominantly false narratives we received about Jessica Lynch during the Iraq war.

    Interviewed by Diane Sawyer, Lynch claimed, concerning the media and the Pentagon: “They used me to symbolize all this stuff. It’s wrong. I don’t know why they filmed [the rescue mission] or why they say these things.” She also stated “I did not shoot, not a round, nothing. I went down praying to my knees. And that’s the last I remember.”

      I remember when that movie came out. The advertising blitz was in full force. I used to go to the cinema with my pals about twice a month. They ran the trailer for that movie for months.

        Which movie? I just read about the interview and multiple testimonies from staff at the hospital she recovered at.

              It sucked. I was just there to watch Kill Bill or Matrix Revolutions. It’s been a while so I forget. But it was something like that. Thanks, regal cinemas.
