‘Pride’ activists will do whatever it takes to maintain their clutch on the narrative — including spinning their own bomb threats against themselves.


“Target stores in at least five states receive bomb threats over Pride items,” read The Hill’s headline — the only part most people see.​
The few readers who actually bothered to click the link were met with this deceptive framing in the first paragraph: “Target stores in at least five U.S. states had to be evacuated over the weekend after receiving bomb threats, the latest example of backlash the U.S.-based retail chain has received for its Pride month merchandise.”​
Not until paragraph six, however, did the author reveal that these bomb threats that were emailed to news outlets in multiple states “accused the retail chain of betraying the LGBTQ+ community.”​

Do you have any proof from another source? I've seen several lies from the Rightwing sources.
It's actually linked in the OP article. The WP site requires payment, but the original story linked in the WP article can be found here:


It's a valid criticism.

From the link in post #3

At 4:39 p.m. today an email was sent to multiple organizations and news outlets claiming that bombs were placed inside of the Target store. The email says, “You have betrayed the LGBTQ+ community. You are pathetic cowards who bowed to the wishes of far right extremists who want to exterminate us. The email also says, “We will not tolerate intolerance nor indifference. If you are not with us then you are against us. That is why we placed a bomb in each of your locations, evacuate now as this is only to cause economic damage.”​

I posted this a couple of weeks ago:


The problem when it comes to left-wing mainstream news sources, is this is the sort of thing they don't say anything about.

I hope they find the person resonsible for this threat and punish him or her accordingly.
I agree with the thought, but be careful - there are many more pronouns - him/her is no longer socially acceptable.

If that person wishes to have a different pronoun used, I'm all for the judge using it while throwing the book at that person.
