The AP certainly doesn’t seem to be wasting any time in making an incident at a Kentucky political event big news. Editor Dana Loesch recently posted on the incident here at Big Journalism.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) – A Rand Paul supporter is being ordered to appear in court so a judge can decide whether charges are warranted after he was seen on TV stepping on a liberal activist’s head.
Lexington Division of Police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts said Tuesday that officers will deliver a summons to Tim Profitt, a volunteer with the Republican’s U.S. Senate campaign. No date was given for the court appearance.
Keep an eye out for some contrast and compare of the coverage, folks. When Kenneth Gladney was beaten, Big Government was on the case for months simply trying to get a reasonable response from the usual suspects, directly connected to the beating, or not. Campaign for Liberty coordinator Kelly Owens was also punched in the face that night.
The media did not deem it worthy of too much coverage. In fact, George Soros’s pals at Media Matters campaigned to make sure the media ignored the story. Months later we discovered that SEIU, the culprit of the attacks on Gladney and Owens, had paid Media Matters tens of thousands of dollars. I’m thinking it will be a different story, now. In fact, liberal bloggers immediately blamed Gladney. See this item by Dana at Big Government holding their feet to the fire.
Label this one “developing”… and stay tuned.
