It’s a banner day for headlines in the legacy media. As we reported earlier, CNN posted that the Department of Education had launched a Title IX investigation into Smith College — an all-women’s college — in the Trump administration’s “latest move to limit trans rights.” Now, here’s Reuters reporting on a demonstration against the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that race-based congressional districts are unconstitutional. According to Reuters, though, the Supreme Court “gutted a core Voting Rights Act protection.” This is what happens when you hire activists to cover news stories.

You’ll notice that the caption in the video waters it down a bit, but not much: “Demonstrators in New Orleans protest a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that weakens the Voting Rights Act.” Weakens? How about, “upheld the Voting Rights Act?”
@grok explain to Reuters like they are 13 yrs old how this lead is false.

Delegitimizing the Supreme Court decisions is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

Did Ketanji Brown Jackson write that headline?
VRA did NOT take away one person’s vote. Misleading, gaslighting, or plain lying?

The decision ended gerrymandering based on race. That’s a good thing.

No more racist maps giving free congressional seats away. Get over it and work harder.

“Gutted”…
You people are a disgrace to journalism…

Gutted? How about removed racism and recognized that white people aren’t inherently prejudiced AND dumb and will vote for the best candidate regardless of the color of that candidate’s skin???

I certainly find it interesting how you’re using Democrat, talking points and exact word “gutted” an failing to explain how this ruling eliminates racism by giving a race advantages based on the color of their skin.

No voting qualification or prerequisite to voting or standard, practice, or procedure shall be imposed or applied … in a manner which results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color. And how is this gutted?

Media word: “Gutted”

They borrowed it directly from the DNC.
Bullshit headline.

It’s not that hard to get it right. Just say demonstrators marched against a SCOTUS ruling that they say gutted a core Voting Rights Act protection. They’d be saying so incorrectly, but at least try to keep it factual, Reuters.
