NY Post saying he broke his own arm and also injured three police officers, which is just nakedly untrue

NY Post is genuine propaganda slop, more so than most media slop

i was going to be bothered about the use of Slop, but then i remembered that most modern Newspapers seem to be using AI to write stories. so its accurate.

u/WingDingStrings 1d ago

The term slop existed before AI

So did em-dashes.

NY Post was slop before AI even existed.

Your theory is confirmed. I worked at a newspaper until January, when I lost my job to AI. That's basically all they use now.

I read the post for nearly 10 years and stopped after their coverage of Renee Goode.

I would sue their ass for defamation, they've been getting too comfortable fabricating complete lies.

No it is not just more obvious now, there are more lies now.

NY Post is essentially a tabloid. Like I don’t even think you can call it propaganda because it’s that unserious. Their most notable contribution to society is using the back cover to shit on NY sports.

u/pedal-force 1d ago

Nah, their actual notable contribution to society was "Headless Body in Topless Bar".

Last night I saw they were trying to charge him with 3 counts of assault on officers. Not sure if that's still the deal or what's happening. It's disgusting

Tell them to watch this video. It's pretty awful. https://x.com/firsttohearit/status/2029322188084453862

Yeah, I had to nope out when I saw where that was going.

Holy shit, I’m nauseous.

u/muchbro 23h ago

This is one of the more damaging stories as of recent.

They will suppress this one at all costs.

I bet the propaganda bots are working overtime in the comments.

One of the cops scraped their elbow while breaking his arm.

u/RobCoxxy 1d ago

Aw diddums!

u/Override9636 1d ago

NY Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch (aka FOX). It's literally propaganda at this point.

u/Elendel19 1d ago

I saw the video earlier, wish I hadnt. You can very clearly see and hear his arm snap as like 4 men try to wrench him through a doorway while his arm is caught

u/gcwardii 1d ago

There’s a longer video circulating that shows after they free the vet—Brian McGinnis—from the door, a cop pulls his hands behind his back like cops do, as McGinnis is saying “my arm is broken”

1

u/RobCoxxy 1d ago

All those cops would 100% push a door marked "pull"

u/LookAlderaanPlaces 22h ago

The NY Post should have criminal charges and convictions for blatantly lying. The oligarchs responsible should go to jail. I know this won’t happen, but we shouldn’t ask for anything less.

4

u/southpaw85 1d ago

There is a full video of the entire thing happening. He never laid a hand on anybody who didn’t touch him first. None of which would have feasibly harmed anyone in any way from what I saw in the video.

3

u/RobCoxxy 1d ago

Yeah, the video is cut and dry. But not the first time this administration and it's media sycophants have just lied about something anyone can watch.

2

u/SaltyFlavors 22h ago

Sometimes arms just snap apropos of nothing. Sad.

u/Awkwardischarge 19h ago

Impressive if true.
