• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

DeSantis letter re Rittenhouse Verdict.

The acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse should not have come as a surprise to anyone following the facts rather than corporate media narratives.

The verdict vindicates the right of self-defense and demonstrates that an American jury is capable of separating lies propagated by the media from the facts of the case and the applicable legal principles.

In this respect, the blizzard of lies propagated by corporate media outlets and Big Tech companies was no match for the American constitutional system.

Yet, the whole ordeal came at a great cost. The fact is that persistent, reckless corporate media lies — about Jacob Blake’s felonious conduct, about Blake being “unarmed,” and about the response of the police officer — fueled a dangerous mob that laid waste to Kenosha and landed Kyle Rittenhouse in the crosshairs of that mob.

Accountability is needed.

First, Kyle Rittenhouse needs to sue every corporate media outlet and every moronic commentator who smeared him into oblivion.

Second, states need to make sure that those falsely smeared by corporate media have adequate recourse under state law to bring defamation actions.

Third, entities who advertise on corporate media outlets that routinely lie and defame innocent people should be held accountable for facilitating defamatory material and false narratives.

Those in corporate media who peddle lies and partisan narratives are among the least reputable members of society and they shouldn’t be able to divide our communities and smear people with impunity.

Yes, the jury system worked. But the fact that it got to this point illustrates that we have a lot of work to do.

I’ll be doing my part and I hope you will too.

This point (copied below) he makes is spot on. It’s time to hold the advertisers that enable these lies accountable. Until it can be done in courts law abiding citizens need to hold them accountable at the cash register. From the above letter-

“Third, entities who advertise on corporate media outlets that routinely lie and defame innocent people should be held accountable for facilitating defamatory material and false narratives.”
