Venture capitalist and novelist J.D. Vance has the perfect example of how the biased media lies to push their left-wing agenda.
Vance, who wrote the popular book Hillbilly Elegy, reports that he decided to quit the board of directors of Kentucky green energy company AppHarvest. But after he resigned, the left-wing media began pushing the fake news tale that he left the board under a cloud because Bloomberg caused the company to force him out.
This claim that he was forced out is a provable lie. But despite the truth, outlets including the Cincinnati Enquirer, The Lexington Herald Leader, The New York Post, Bloomberg and the Associated Press and more all pushed the lie as if it was incontrovertible fact.
Bloomberg claimed that Vance was forced out because he posted “controversial tweets” which had prompted the Bloomberg to ask AppHarvest to account for Vance’s tweets. But this is false. Vance did post tweets that leftists would find “controversial,” but they were posted after he left the company.
Vance finally went to Twitter to describe how the left-wing media lied about the situation.
“Alright, here’s a story about how the media often shapes narratives instead of reporting the truth, and how a small untruth can morph into a lie that’s repeated again and again throughout the media bubble,” Vance wrote Friday on Twitter.
Read this Twitter thread…
Appharvest is an agricultural technology company in Kentucky. I got involved four years ago, and have been a supporter and investor of the company ever since. I’ve seen it morph from an idea into a publicly traded company with the potential to transform our food system.

…so last month, I started talking with other members of the board about stepping down. The basic thinking was: I’m going to keep speaking my mind, and I’d rather do that unconstrained by the demands of a public board. And I thought the company would be better off too.

But this is the reality we face, and it’s a *political* problem. In other words, the marriage between the left and corporate power isn’t going to end through any other means than political intervention. So better to fight it on that front than turn Appharvest into a flashpoint.

notice how the woke media, high school graduate athletes, ignorant, arrogant hollow-wood druggies, child pornographers’, closet gays, human trafficker’s, ass kissing domestic terrorist group loving have become. the gay terrorist obama considers himself a movie star.
Notice how reparation is on the woke minds and tongues of demorat, political morons who have no idea of American History. Well a recent law suit has been filed my men of the world-white men:
The men of the world are demanding reparations from the women of the world after realizing all their problems stem from Eve taking a bite of the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil over 5,999 years ago.
“Eve, the ancestor of all women, ruined everything for us,” said Carl McGuinness of Provo, Utah, at a press conference Friday. “We demand payment for the sin and death that rained down upon the human race after the first woman went ahead and took a bite of the forbidden fruit.”
“This is merely leveling the playing field from all the inequity that women have caused through their ancestor less than 6,001 years ago.”
After calculating the damages stemming from Eve’s bite out of the fruit, men have determined they are owed some $593,000,000,000,000,000. As they realize this will take some time to pay back, they have stated they are graciously willing to take payment in the form of sandwiches for the time being.
At publishing time, men had withdrawn their request since women pointed out that if Adam had been there to lead his wife as the head of the household, Satan probably wouldn’t have been able to trick her.
love the Babylon Bee…truth hurts
The media lies. That seems to be their job. Without media lies, the left would be exposed for what it is; a failure that serves the socialist world instead of US citizens.
