Once upon a time, the big media companies owned the narrative outright. They loved controlling the information pipeline that decided what you could and could not see.
For example, a Pride Parade in DC would garner fawning national attention. A March for Life might get 15 seconds at best or a slanted hit piece at worst.
That attitude has never gone away. The way that the news organizations go after Twitter, Substack, Rumble, Parler, or any other form of alternative media they dislike proves it.
All that to say NBC "News" is at it again.
Of course they are ... NBC is a butt-licking, loyal member of the Marxist propaganda network for the Democrat Party. Theirs is to salute the Democrat Party's flag ...
... and drop trou.
NBC News (@NBCNews) ~ Elon Musk and conservative influencers have spread unverified claims to millions, smearing Haitian migrants as cannibals as they endure deep uncertainty about the future of their country and family members still there.

Here one can see the hackery of using a tragedy with racist implications to go after Elon Musk (boo, hiss) and conservative influencers. There's only one problem.
Brad Slager: Flips On The Highbeams In Fog Of War (@MartiniShark) ~ NBC NEWS: “Conservatives are OUT OF LINE suggesting there are Haitian cannibals!!”
NBC NEWS (same article):
“There are ... um, gangs that are eating people, including The Cannibal Army. But it is unacceptable for those on the right to notice!”
It's not only happening, it's mentioned in their own article.
Jeff Blehar is *BOX OFFICE POISON* (@EsotericCD) ~ NBC's factcheck defense is "yes, there is actually provably documented cannibalism, but this isn't 'for-real' cannibalism, they're just eating people as a *gang intimidation tactic,* 𝑝𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠." So stop judging, you bigot.
Top-notch journalisming there guys.
Logan Hall (@loganclarkhall) ~ “Corporate media told me they thought the worst part about cannibalism in Haiti was the right-wing influencer smear campaign ... and I disagreed. I thought the worst part was the cannibalism.”
This never gets old!
Heh ... too bad Norm MacDonald isn't still around.
Deebs (@DeebsFLA) ~ Verified cannibalism on the books. Smear away.
So, what's it like on the ground in Haiti?
Joel Berry (@JoelWBerry) ~ I spoke with a Haitian orphanage director a couple months ago and I can assure you — the things you’ve heard about Haiti are not only true, they’re 10 times worse than what you’ve heard. I can’t even repeat the horrors that were described to me.
You might think this is the real tragedy. But then again, you aren't an NBC journalist.
Yeah, the only thing "tragic" for NBC is that Elon Musk and Conservatives noticed the cannibalism in Haiti.
Jon Gabriel (@exjon) ~ You do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to cannibals."
Oh, and here's another instance of either messaging or journalistic malpractice. Some people noticed this:
Prison Mitch (@MidnightMitch) ~ When you call them migrants and they haven’t even left Haiti yet.
Usually Right (@normouspenis) ~ Aren't they - checks notes - still in Haiti?
Yep, the Democrats and their media sycophants are already counting their chickens - more foreign invaders = more future Democrat voters.
I'm sure the Democrats are workshopping a new term, something like "offshore future citizens".
At least the mockery was (please forgive us here) something you could sink your teeth into.
Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) ~ Update: There are no cannibals in Haiti. But their DEI department is trying to fix that.
Steak for Breakfast (@SteakforPodcast) ~ We’re at the @NBCNews sympathizing with the Haitian cannibals portion of the timeline in case anyone is keeping score at home.
Magills (@magills_) ~ Did a cannibal write this?
Maybe the NBC reporter consulted some experts ...
Tony Kinnett (@TheTonus) ~ {Replying to @NBCNews} Put the leg bone down, NBC.
JWF (@JammieWF) ~ {Replying to @NBCNews} Eat me.
Be careful what you ask for.
ribit gets this offer all the time down at the Toad Suck Waffle House ...
SirWinston (@SirWinston85) ~ I can report that the gang leader Barbecue is willing to sit down with a NBC reporter over dinner to discuss this matter. The sides will be fava beans and chianti.
BREAKING: Conservatives pounce on Dr. Hannibal Lecter in latest attack on the mentally different.
Travis (@Travis_in_Flint) ~ {Replying to @NBCNews} You’re just mad because thanks to X and citizen journalism we got to see what is actually happening.
And this right here is the takeaway.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
