Steve Earle: Writers on the left love to twist, edit and misguide readers

To The Daily Sun,

Don't just writers on the left love to twist, edit and misguide readers? About leftists tearing down Civil War monuments a few years back Donald Trump said (I paraphrase) he (does not support or defend white supremacists, KKK or any racists) but there a lot of good people down there. Leftists omit the words in parentheses even to this day. Because that changes the entire meaning of his words. Another one, yes Trump said to supporters, "If you don't fight like hell you're going to lose your country." This is what the left hangs their hats on in condemning him but omit where he said, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching to the Capitol building," then said, "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." A pure case of selective hearing as the latter clearly destroys leftist insurrection propaganda.

Compare now with leftists excusing, in lock step, the Antifa/BLM riots that looted, assaulted, burned, destroyed and murdered. Then there was the Kyle Rittenhouse prosecution (i.e., how dare you defend your life from criminal thugs white boy?). Violent criminals chased this kid down but by left's measure he was at fault? And how about those Communist-like show trials of Trump all of which have been termed unconstitutional by legal experts many of whom are Democrats. The Supreme Court of the United States, if they even go that far, will throw out and prosecutors and judges ring-mastering these shows likely will justifiably be in serious trouble. Who are all these antisemitic demonstrators? Leftist Democrats, racists. All on the left, how do you justify any of this?

Probably a hundred more examples of the distortions the left deals out but space here is limited. Doubt me, go look it up if you can find an honest media's site?
