    Though he grew up in a largely conservative Mormon family, Robinson was not registered with either major political party and appeared to have become infatuated by the far left in recent years, according to the authorities. “It’s very clear to us and to the investigators that this was a person who was deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told The Wall Street Journal in a brief interview published Friday.

    Jfc, this is so goddamn irresponsible. I know, the source and all, just goddamn this is infuriating that they can just post / announce this shit without it being “clear”

      All you need is a source. It’s National enquirer shit, except instead of two random ass people telling you Elvis is still alive living underneath Las Vegas you have the governor of a Utah with a clear agenda running his mouth about trans people and since he’s a notable “reputable” source you report it. Journalism truly in shambles. I mean you are just reporting what comes out of the guys mouth but you can also choose to report some things and not other things and the fact that they decided to report his “this is leftists” thing with no real evidence they are just showing their whole asses

      Wall St Journal - owned by Rupert Murdoch.

      Who also owns Fox News and the NY Post. Additionally practically all of British and Australian media too.

      Singularly the scumbag most responsible for all the lies, defamation, libel and slander used to brainwash Anglo chuds worldwide.

      The MO has always been to get ahead of a story with the most inflammatory RW reactionary bullshit possible. He’s perfected the Hate Machine/Fear Factory.
