Faux Information Media Makes up a ‘Black Santa’ Controversy Over Bringing Again Christmas Movie Marketed on TRUTH Social | The Gateway Pundit

The pretend information media did it once more…

A current advert on TRUTH Social has triggered fairly the vacation stir. A lot in order that an anti-conservative web site determined to make it the topic of an article blasting MAGA TRUMP FANS as having a meltdown over a Christmas film advert. Mockingly, the article commits the identical sin – and worse. Let me clarify.

The publish in query was in regards to the new impartial film BRINGING BACK CHRISTMAS starring Leigh-Allyn Baker beforehand of Disney channel’s hit collection “Good Luck Charlie” and Mark Christopher Lawrence of the favored TV present “Chuck”. Within the movie Lawrence performs Daniel, a caring father, who’s laid off from his 17-year job two weeks earlier than Christmas. A spirited angel, performed by Baker, takes him on an offbeat journey again in time – a la “It’s a Wonderful Life” – to look at Mary & Joseph and the difficulties surrounding the start of Jesus & the “First Christmas”. Daniel learns to face his momentary troubles by trusting that God does certainly have a plan.

One among BRINGING BACK CHRISTMAS film’s sponsored adverts on TRUTH Social options Lawrence carrying a Santa hat, garlanded with a string of Christmas lights. Baker is featured as a glowing angel with a playful smile standing subsequent to him. Each of them loom over a small depiction of the Nativity.

Whereas many on the platform really regarded up the movie, watched it, and left optimistic suggestions thanking TRUTH for promoting the inspiring film BRINGING BACK CHRISTMAS; a number of customers jumped to conclusions. The self-proclaimed “independent journalism” website took solely the ignorant feedback and ran with them, utilizing it as a possibility to decry TRUTH Social at giant and alluding to the platform’s customers as bigoted “MAGA Trump Supporters”.

It’s a main concern when these with the facility of affect use it for sick intent. The agenda-driven web site swept a complete platform underneath the “racist” rug, deliberately creating propaganda. How on the earth have we gotten so far? Simply because I exploit an iPhone doesn’t imply I ascribe to the assumption system of different iPhone customers. Or if I order one thing on Amazon, do I believe the identical manner as all of their prospects? This line of thought is asinine.

What the article’s creator did by highlighting solely the unfavourable feedback is definitely detrimental. Ignorantly leaping to conclusions is one factor. Purposefully slanting and manipulating data to fit your finish is totally one other. That is precisely why individuals are sick and drained of what’s being known as “Fake News.” Of their article, they didn’t embrace the total story. Many TRUTH customers clearly regarded up the movie, watched it, and left optimistic feedback saying they loved it. However, as an alternative of together with any affirming opinions as part of their “expose”, cherry-picked feedback have been used to assist biases and feedback ignored that didn’t. Finally what this demonstrates is a tragic lack of journalistic integrity.

This case additionally highlighted a couple of different points in our present society:

Snap opinions and judgments made with out even a cursory understanding of a topic

Oversimplification and categorization primarily based on our biases or the perceived biases of others

As to the primary level, a couple of platform “users,” in the event that they have been certainly actual folks and never bots or paid operatives on TRUTH, did make snap selections primarily based on an IMAGE. (WOW! Cease the presses. This has by no means occurred earlier than!?!) They noticed the “holiday hat-wearing” man and made some egregious leaps of their conclusions. The article’s creator used a couple of of the TRUTH consumer feedback, making ALL Trump supporters seem like having a meltdown. It’s virtually as hilarious as Media Issues decrying Elon Musk and X for anti-semitism whereas they spotlight articles supporting Hamas.

Secondly, a number of the “users” didn’t even take the time to click on on the picture to look at the trailer or go to the web site to see if BRINGING BACK CHRISTMAS was, in truth, a couple of “black Santa”. In all honesty, the time they took wanting up derogatory memes may have been spent verifying their affirmation bias assumptions quite than working with them.

Now greater than ever, the flexibility to analysis, be taught, and develop as folks is actually at our fingertips. With data so available, you will need to suppose twice earlier than leaping to conclusions. Which – paradoxically – is the message of the movie BRINGING BACK CHRISTMAS. Daniel finally ends up gaining a brand new perspective, and so will you by seeing a aspect of the Christmas Story in a pleasant new manner.

Could we search new views this Christmas season that carry People nearer collectively quite than additional divide us.
