ABC News cuts Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vaccine remarks out of interview
The New York Post ^ | 04/28/2023 | Josh Christenson

Posted on 04/28/2023 11:37:04 AM PDT by thegagline

An ABC News host admitted the network edited statements Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made about the COVID-19 vaccine out of an exclusive interview it conducted with the longshot Democratic presidential candidate.

“We should note that during our conversation, Kennedy made false claims about the COVID-19 vaccines,” anchor Linsey Davis said in a disclaimer when the interview aired Thursday. “We’ve used our editorial judgment in not including extended portions of that exchange in our interview.”

“Data shows that the COVID-19 vaccine has prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths from the disease,” Davis added. “He also made misleading claims about the relationship between vaccination and autism.

“Research shows that vaccines and the ingredients used in the vaccines do not cause autism, including multiple studies involving more than a million children and major medical associations like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the advocacy group Autism Speaks.” *** ABC’s segment on vaccines briefly featured Kennedy’s response to past comments he made on links between vaccines and autism, before cutting to questions about the candidate’s famous political family. *** I don’t believe that we should be the party of war; I don’t believe that we should be the party of Wall Street; I don’t believe that we should let neocons dictate our foreign policy, and I don’t believe in censorship,” Kennedy said. “And those are all values that are traditional Democratic Party values that this White House has departed from.”

Kennedy’s extended family have said they are unlikely to support his 2024 run, given his attacks on former White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci and calls for his father’s convicted assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, to be paroled by California Gov. Gavin Newsom. ***

I've seen so many news stories lately where the writer just dutifully slips in "false claims" prior to even just a skeptical mention of the vaccines. It's blatantly obvious the word has gone out to the bought-and-paid-for "journalists."

Joe Biden said his Inflation Reduction Act bill would lower inflation. I have yet to see that lie edited out of ABC news stories? I have yet to see ABC edit out Russian Disinformation claims from Biden Laptop stories?

So I am going to assume ABC only edits out the true stuff.

Big Pharma represents 75% of the revenue to news media outlets. Turn that crap off.

It's something, but it's not an interview.

Funny, wasn’t the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax 100% “true”, at one time?
Wasn’t the importance of mask usage 100% “true”, at one time?
Wasn’t the efficacy rate of the clot shots OVERWHELMINGLY slowing and STOPPING the spread of COVID considered 100% “true”, at one time?

The point is, most of what our enemedia SWORE was 100% “true”, has turned out to be 100% BOVINE EXCREMENT!

In Why We Fight, the Frank Capra series to build up morale in WWII, they emphasized that totalitarian regimes such as Japan and Nazi Germany censor and limit the news and teach kids propaganda to bolster their side only.

I remember when we in the United States used to have freedom of speech, the press, assembly and thought. I’m 76, almost 77. Seems like such a clear memory to me.

And every kid had “sticks and stones may break my bones...” drilled into his/her head until one got sick of hearing it.

Serves him right for agreeing to an interview on ABC news!

“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear.

They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home — all the more powerful because forbidden — terrify them.

A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Translation. Our advertisers heart censorship.

Like all totalitarians, the public health left would rather censor anti-vaxxers than try to rebut them. It’s a shame because the public would benefit from the dialogue and the anti-vaxxers are easy to rebut.

TV channels often cut out parts of interviews, usually without even mentioning it. At least ABC did that here.

“Data shows that the COVID-19 vaccine has prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths from the disease.”

Serious question: How does data prove this?
