As Twitchy reported earlier, a medical examiner has concluded that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes the day after the storming of the Capitol, though Twitter medical experts have determined that the stress of that day induced the two strokes that killed him. CNN reported in early February that investigators were “struggling to build a federal murder case” but were “vexed by a lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death.”
Of course, the initial reports from the New York Times, the Associated Press, and others said that Sicknick had been bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher by a Trump supporter, but in mid-February, the New York Times issued a correction.
Glenn Greenwald went on a rant about the media and about how people with doubts were branded “Sicknick truthers.”

{Cont.} "Francisco J. Diaz, the medical examiner, said the autopsy found no evidence the 42-year-old officer suffered an allergic reaction to chemical irritants, which Diaz said would have caused Sicknick’s throat to quickly seize."
{Cont.} "Diaz also said there was no evidence of internal or external injuries....Diaz said he could not comment on whether Sicknick had a preexisting medical condition, citing privacy laws."
{Cont.} Just look at this short excerpt of how we drowned in a totally false story for a full month -- one that was crucial to the narrative because only Sicknick could be said to have been killed by deliberate violence by pro-Trump protesters. Watch:

{Cont.} The corporate media lies to you constantly because they only care about pleasing the political ideology and flattering the preconceptions of their audience. Subtsack & similar platforms allow truth to be aired, which is why they hate it.

{Cont.} There's no such thing as a "noble lie," especially in journalism. This particular fabrication made its way into the impeachment trial against Trump and out of Joe Biden's mouth. It was clear from the start it was highly dubious, but few journalists cared: it served its purpose.
{Cont.} I'll give an hour amnesty to all the group-think drones in corporate media who smeared everyone expressing doubts about the Sicknick Fire Extinguisher story as a "Sicknick Truther." Come forward voluntarily and honorably confront your latest in-group propaganda.
{Cont.} All the evidence was there from the start that the media lie (which emanated from NYT and then became unquestioned Truth: like the Russia Bounty story) was dubious. But anyone who flagged these was accused of being a pro-insurrectionist fascist, so "journalists" clung to the lie.
{Cont.} Dem Party loyalists pretending to be journalists is what's killing journalism. This is what they do to anyone who questions their lies. You have to not only have contempt for these people but be lucky enough so that their pitiful tactics don't affect you:
Responding to: Josh Marshall ~ It was my professional obligation to read Glenn’s insurrection coddling thread and holy crap it’s as much bullshit as you would have imagined. He’s full on Sicknick Truther. Sad.
{Cont.} This is how Democrats posing as journalists have trained people to react if you refuse to echo their lies and instead insist on evidence: you're a racist, a fascist, a white nationalist, etc.
{Cont.} These people never gave the slightest shit about Brian Sickick. He was a toy to them: they needed to create a lie about how he died because he was the only one they could claim was killed by pro-Trump protesters. So they invented a harrowing story that was complete bullshit.
{Cont.} Find the journalists who prove they're willing and able to tell you the truth no matter the outcomes -- whoever that might be -- and support them. And realize the model of corporate media, their explicit model, is to lie: to please the political desires of their viewers/readers.
{Cont.} Look at what these media people are. They do it over and over. They only listen to the same set of liberal media outlets and follow one another on Twitter and they have no idea that it's even possible to question what's put in their brain.
{Cont.} This is what they do everyday. Please internalize what dishonest propagandists they are. They have zero capacity for critical thought and absolutely no integrity. The only care about serving DNC interests. Just look for yourself ...
