Vocal Point-Dan Gainor

We have all heard about the incident involving some young high schoolers from a Catholic school in Covington, Kentucky, who were at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C. recently. I even wrote about it here. The Wall Street Journal noted: “Of the most culturally deplorable boxes one can check in progressive America in 2019, the boys of Covington Catholic High School have most of them: white, male, Christian, attendees at the annual March for Life in Washington, and wearers of MAGA hats. What’s not to dislike?” The media initially reported the story in a way in which the Covington boys were disruptive and rude. But when the fuller, wider context was scene, it became clear that they were remarkably well-behaved, and they were lied about. The Media Research Center (MRC) of Reston, Virginia is the organization that tracks the incredible left-wing bias in the media. Dan Gainor is Vice President of Business and Culture for the MRC. Dan Gainor joins Jerry Newcombe on Vocal Point to discuss the misinformation and mischaracterization of the incident involving the Covington kids.
