Rittenhouse Verdict & Media Malfeasance with Steve Oldfield

Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty in the Kenosha shootings from August 2020. The corporate press got much of, if not all, of the story wrong from the beginning, causing a cognitive dissonance to erupt in the public square. Many have compared this case to Nicholas Sandmann and Covington Catholic, in that what was first reported was entirely inaccurate, and the Sandmann family sought payment for defamation.   First, Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur shares his thoughts on the verdict and the response, then Steve Oldfield (director of Rush to Judgment on Covington Catholic) compares both cases and what the media got wrong.   Follow Tony on his various social media platforms: Twitter & GETTR - @TonyMazur Instagram - @tmaze25   Be sure to subscribe to Tony's Patreon. $5 a month gets you bonus content, extra podcasts, and early access to guests.
