The students are being targeted because they are pro-life, Catholic, go to private school, and support President Trump. A full viewing of the video shows that they were simply waiting for a bus while being harassed by a racist group and rudely treated by an elderly native American. I can pretty much guarantee that if Nathan Phillips had done what he did to the Covington High School students to a group of New York City students, the invasion of their personal space might have been handled very differently.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/the-media\/2019\/01\/23\/nbc-fake-news-covington-gay-valedictorian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breitbart<\/a> posted an article illustrating how this works.<\/p>\n<p>The article cites the media&#8217;s bringing up a previous story that has already been proven false:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Nevertheless, the media jihad continues, and that includes NBC shamelessly running a debunked and deceptive smear story that had been reported on and debunked all the way back in May.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>NBC\u2019s deliberately misleading headline <a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/feature\/nbc-out\/gay-valedictorian-banned-speaking-covington-graduation-not-surprised-d-c-n961446\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">reads<\/a>: \u201cGay valedictorian banned from speaking at Covington graduation \u2018not surprised\u2019 by D.C. controversy.\u201d The story accuses \u201cCovington\u201d (I\u2019ll explain the quote marks in a bit) of \u201cbanning\u201d a speech that was to be given by an openly gay student.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article then explains the problem with the story about the graduation speech:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>NBC News does not concede the <em>fact<\/em> that Bales submitted the speech late, instead framing it only as an allegation \u2014 an excuse from the diocese.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nowhere does NBC News reveal that Bales\u2019 speech was a Parkland-inspired diatribe about gun control.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Christian Bales was not a student at Covington High School.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Christian Bales graduated from Holy Cross High School, a completely different high school.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>If his speech had been approved, he would have given it at Holy Cross High School, not at Covington High School.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Holy Cross High is run by the same Catholic diocese as Covington High, but they are two <em>completely different schools<\/em>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>NBC News bombards the story with more than a dozen references to \u201cCovington\u201d but goes out of its way to obscure the fact Bales attended a completely different school\u2026<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Since Covington High School is the target of the current media attack, the fact that the incident happened at a different high school is not relevant to the media.
