The job of a journalist is to collect information, figure out what is or isn't true, and then disseminate it to the public.

In the age of social media, we have this problem that is getting worse, where there's so much noise,

it's harder and harder to know what's true and what isn't, and now journalists are more important than ever.

While on the ground reporting isn't as necessary, because so many people have smartphones can film things that happen on the ground,

we need people who are willing to go in, dig deep, and figure out what really happened.

The problem we have, though, is because information travels so fast,

activists are latching onto these narratives, producing propaganda, and starting mobs online that can destroy people's lives.

But what happens when the media is chasing clickbait?

When Amazon Media is chasing after an opportunity for viral interaction and money,

they join in the mob because it will make them wealthier, and thus, we now have a media class in this country that is more interested

in pushing the mob narrative because it means they'll make money.

The story about the market kids was mostly alive.

In fact, the Native Americans, who came into that group of kids, actually lied on television most notably,

Nathan Phillips, the man himself, did lie.

And we can prove this now. He's actually retracted some of his earlier statements.

But where is the media calling him out?

Where are the news organizations admitting that they were wrong? They aren't.

So today, let's take a look at exactly what happened yesterday,

and I also want to take this opportunity to highlight just how dangerous these situations are becoming,

because we have a wave of death threats against these children, and unsurprisingly,

social media is doing nothing to stop it.
