Bari Weiss has condemned the liberal media and Democrats for convicting Kyle Rittenhouse on a campaign of lies before his case even went before a jury, laying bare how left-wing outlets and members of Congress pedaled lies about the teenager that have now been disproven at his trial.

Weiss quit the New York Times last year in a row over how woke the paper had become. Now, she has launched a newsletter and is a founding trustee of The University of Austin, an independent school in Texas that she says will serve as an antidote to the left-wing colleges in America that have lost their way.

Writing for her Substack newsletter Common Sense with Bari Weiss, the former New York Times columnist admitted that she assumed - like many others - that Rittenhouse had driven across state lines, armed with an AR-15 rifle on August 2020 because he was a 'racist' vigilante looking for a fight.

The Media's Verdict on Kyle Rittenhouse

Here is what I thought was true about Kyle Rittenhouse during the last days of August 2020 based on mainstream media accounts: The 17-year-old was a racist vigilante. I thought he drove across state lines, to Kenosha, Wisc., with an illegally acquired semi-automatic rifle to a town to which he had no connection. I thought he went there because he knew there were Black Lives Matter protests and he wanted to start a fight. And I thought that by the end of the evening of August 25, 2020, he had done just that, killing two peaceful protestors and injuring a third.

It turns out that account was mostly wrong.

It appears the rat media haven’t learned the lessons delivered by Nick Sandman and others.

Within a few years, I hope the media make Rittenhouse a wealthy young man.

Apparently there are also a lot of people who think that the men Kyle shot were black, i.e. supporting the “white supremacist” narrative.
