On behalf of the 327 million American citizens who generally believe that freedom is good and authoritarian regimes are less good, let me apologize to LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers.
It must have been a real inconvenience to take that 13-hour chartered flight to China last week and hang around a luxury hotel in Shanghai for five days while promotional appearances got canceled. Surely it was awful to be in the middle of an international firestorm where the stakes were so high: Would preseason NBA games be played or not?
And to think, LeBron and his teammates were so disrupted all because Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey had the temerity to send a relatively anodyne tweet supporting a protest that pretty much every one of his countrymen — whether on the left or right side of the political spectrum — would agree with over the rights Hong Kongers were promised when the United Kingdom handed control of the territory over to China in 1997.
Because as James tweeted on Monday night, trying to clarify comments he made to the media earlier in the evening: “My team and this league just went through a difficult week. I think people need to understand what a tweet or statement can do to others. And I believe nobody stopped and considered what would happen. Could have waited a week to send it.”
My team and this league just went through a difficult week. I think people need to understand what a tweet or statement can do to others. And I believe nobody stopped and considered what would happen. Could have waited a week to send it.
Right on, LeBron. Millions in Hong Kong are fearful that their entire way of life is about to change, and thousands upon thousands of protesters are risking their lives to make a stand for their freedom and their future. Why would Morey think about them when your preseason vacation and your bank account is at stake? How selfish of him.
If only Morey had done what you did Monday, LeBron, and tacitly admit that the only thing that really matters is your ability to sell shoes and market "Space Jam 2" in a country of 1.4 billion, we could have had an intellectually honest discussion about doing business in China and the cost of free speech in a country where only propaganda is...
The Twisted Fantasies Of Leftists Are Woke, Chic And Are Intellectual Forays Worthy Of Pursuit, But Play A Meme Video At A Venue That Trump Did Not Attend And The Sky Is Falling.
A video of Trump shooting various news oulets and other political foes in the face was shared at a Trump resort.
But was the footage real, or doctored? That's the question, and we got our best video analysts on the case right away.
The first clue that this footage might have been altered is this shot:
Appears to be a regular church sign, right? Nope. The text is clearly overlaid on the sign. It's too saturated and bright and does not blend in well with the surrounding shot. Furthermore, we googled and could not find a "Church of Fake News" anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Mexico, suggesting that this is possibly a satirical take on Trump's liberal use of the word "Fake News."
Let's take a look at this side-by-side comparison shot next:
In the real image on the left, if you look closely, you can see that Donald Trump is just standing there. In the image on the right, however, you can see that the footage has been digitally altered to show Trump shooting news outlets in the face. If you enhance the image, you can clearly see that Trump's neck is a little bit out of alignment with the body of the actor from the original footage.
Our verdict? Doctored footage.
Here's another part of the video that appears to have been altered:
