UAW says three picketing UAW members were hit by a truck in Swartz Creek.
So, what should a responsible news organization do? Check police reports and see whether it’s legit!
But that’s not what happened. There are no police reports. No injuries reported. Nobody treated for any injuries.
Yet, the media took the union’s word for it despite no evidence. Welcome to media in 2019.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through March 30 at 9:00a ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Re: Media duped by UAW
That’s exactly what happened. You hear the protester hitting the truck several times. The truck is not going fast enough to cause that noise. Then you get the morons saying “Call 911! Call an ambulance!” No police are called. No injuries reported. And yet the media runs it like it happened.audiophile wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 4:04 pmAnd no video, just audio. I think the protester ran into the truck.lovinlife101 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 1:43 pmUAW says three picketing UAW members were hit by a truck in Swartz Creek.

These traditional media accounts say in the title that three picketers were hit by a truck.
This non-traditional media outlet had an accurate title. https://cdllife.com/2019/truck-driver-a ... -on-video/
I hope the truck driver files a defamation lawsuit against the irresponsible media here and sues them all STEEEEEEEEEERAIGHT TO HELL!!!

Re: Media duped by UAW
Look up “soccer flops” on YouTube. That’s exactly what is going on here. The UAW created a narrative that three picketers were gang raped, pistol whipped, crucified, then set on fire.
