The Hill ran with a completely false headline yesterday, “South Dakota governor calls removal of Confederate statues effort to ‘discredit’ founding fathers.” They tweeted it out although the tweet has since been removed.

This was a lie.
THEY GOT THE FALSE MESSAGE OUT
The MSN and countless other publications picked it up:
The Hill later issued a correction, after the false headline traveled the world, saying, “An earlier version of this story drew too strong a link between the effort to take down Confederate statues and monuments and Noem’s remarks. The headline and wording has been changed to more accurately reflect her comments.”
Are they serious? “Too strong a link?” There is no link!
Some Twitter users criticized the Hill’s original framing as “false,” pointing out the governor never said “Confederate” and was referring to other statues, such as those depicting former Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
In other words, it was a lie.
This headline is flat-out false. Even story says she never mentioned Confederate statues. https://t.co/JLmTWeaG31

Unfortunately, no one who carried the story is making any corrections or taking it down.
@thehill appears to adopt CNN-type advocacy journalism by libelous tweet against South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. The Hill claimed Noem defended confederate statues despite Noem not mentioning statues to confederate traitors at all. #thehillisfakenews #KristiNoem #SouthDakota pic.twitter.com/pOIJjjsaee

This is very dishonest. She never mentions “confederate statues”, and her speech focused on our founding fathers and other such examples. Of course, Gov. Kristi Noem gave a powerful speech and appears to be a rising star in her parry, so you need to discredit her. pic.twitter.com/PeAbgPj08m

It looks like The Hill deleted its tweet saying Gov. Kristi Noem’s defense of the founding fathers was taking a stand against the removal of statues of Confederate leaders.

The left knows it needs to start attacking Gov. Noem now. IMO she will become the 1st female president from either party. She will be groomed in the next 4 years of the Trump presidency for a 2024or 2028 run.
Noem/ Grenell 2024.
The dims do love THE BIG LIE.
Who cares if the tweet is deleted as long as 100,000 people see and believe it.
One little problem with your observation Dietrich. The Press in this Nation are free to print whatever they like. Yes, they can be held accountable in a Court of Law, but can you imagine the backlog of court cases of a political nature?
No Dietrich, I dislike politicians as much as the next citizen, but place the blame where it belongs, on Citizens who are too worried about their Sports Teams, and their self-centered lives (getting laid on the weekend). The average citizen doesn’t even think about our nation, only themselves.
Want better lives? The Laws of the land need to be enforced, severely when appropriate. Today’s criminals are coddled, and get no hard time for their vile actions. It isn’t Republicans, or Democrats, it’s the People who elect them. That is fact!

If they can smear the President, they can smear governors. The spinless Republican leaders tolerate this slander/libel and do nothing about it. They are the cause of this. Even God says they are responsible. I quote:
When a sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, the hearts of the sons of men are fully set to do evil. (Ecclesiastes 8:11).
Why is the media so rotten? Because Republicans leaders make them rotten by not punishing their works.
So thank you, President Trump and the Republican leaders for the rotten mainstream media of America.
