Media Launder Stories Like The Fentanyl Letters To Blame Republicans For Everything – By Hayden Ludwig (The Federalist) / Nov 23, 2023
Media outlets used the poison letters to peddle the left’s favorite new ‘crisis’: death threats to election workers from angry Republicans.
The true danger to American democracy comes from the radical left. Just don’t expect to hear it from the corporate media.
On Nov. 9, Americans learned that law enforcement intercepted a handful of fentanyl-laced letters intended for election offices across at least five states, including Georgia’s Fulton County. While alarming, fentanyl isn’t like anthrax — briefly touching it isn’t deadly. But ingesting it is — just ask the families of the 74,000 Americans who died from fentanyl in 2022 alone, much of it produced in China and smuggled in through President Biden’s wide-open southern border.
But dozens of media outlets used the poison letters to peddle the left’s favorite new “crisis”: Death threats to election workers from angry Republican voters.
I’ve tracked this myth since it was hatched in early 2021 as a sequel to the now-infamous “Zuckbucks” scheme, in which partisan billionaire Mark Zuckerberg effectively privatized the 2020 election in swing states with $420 million. After Biden’s victory, activists pivoted to solidifying that funding, only now from the federal government.
