The Recall of George Gascón is now national news. Off the record, it should have been when these organizers initiated this in March 2021. The fact that this Soros-funded district attorney embedded himself into law enforcement under the siren song of “reimagining” criminal justice, transformed decades-long policies that WorkThis cautionary tale is intended to help others who claim they do not have the same abilities as him. See: Illinois, Foxx, KimThey () are also falling apart on the national stage. However, the legacy media is refusing to report it all or make the connections that the social justice reform agenda has resulted not in justice for everyone but in an increase in crime and violence in large cities.
Friday Night, NBC Nightly NewsLester Holt presented a segment that covered the issues surrounding the Los Angeles County District attorney and the policies that have caused the residents of Los Angeles County, to call for his recall. The Recall George Gascón organizers announced on Thursday that they had reached the requisite number of signatures (unverified) for the recall to make the November 2022 ballot. They are still gathering signatures and believe they can get enough to reach the required 566,857 verified signatures before the deadline of July 6. This is unprecedented that in a county of 5.6 million registered voters, that amount of signatures could be gathered so quickly. But, you didn’t hear that from Lester Holt.

WATCH:
Over five minutes (at 5:26 on Friday evening). NBC Nightly News anchor Lester “fairness is overrated” Holt personally led the network’s defense of radical progressive L.A. County District Attorney George Gascon, who’s facing a popular recall effort just two weeks after San Francisco liberals managed to get rid of theirs. And as part of this full-throated defense, Holt blamed local news reporting for stoking a false “public perception” of the crime situation in the city.
Notice Holt doesn’t give any push back to the fact that Gascón blames conservative areas and cities, and rogue prosecutors who want to keep things the way they are for his troubles. Holt gives cover by saying “criminal justice experts find it difficult to draw direct connections to Gascon’s policies” and the rise in crime, then blathers on about the “intense political pressure” Gascón is experiencing in executing his “reform agenda.”
Boo. effing. You are a hoo.
These law enforcement “experts” either don’t live in Southern California, or have paid little attention to what has been covered by local press. When you have over 30 cities casting votes of “no confidence” against your actions and policies, and recorded incidents of unchecked crime, then the problem may well be you and your policies.
But Holt felt no need to challenge Gascón on his excuses.
Another segment of the interview highlights how Holt discarded any pretense of an investigative dive and instead turned it into the George Gascón non-apology tour.

Holt asked:
“If you can’t get through to your own deputies, what does that say about your leadership?”
Gascón mumbled his response. Is it progressive schizophrenia and inability to string two words together?
“It’s complicated, you have a very strong driving force that is very committed not only to try to remove me from office, but more importantly, is very committed to keeping the system the way that it was.”
In other words, if you oppose me, you really don’t want change.
It’s all your fault.
It is truly disgusting. Even worse is the fact that Holt rode along with it. This is journalistic malpractice at its best.
NBC and Holt are simply copying from the “the homegrown team,” i.e., The Los Angeles Times, The Los Angeles Daily News McClatchy-run news media sources, as well as the big conglomerate-run media outlets.
These so-called news organizations have consistently failed to not only accurately depict the damage Gascón’s directives have caused, but failed to report on the outrage of the victims which has led to this recall.
The same strategy was used with Recall Gavin Newsom. It will eventually go away if it has oxygen from community and other outlets. Then, when you now have to cover because it’s blowing up nationally, make excuses for the elected elitist who is being recalled, without addressing the concerns of the citizens who are recalling said elitist.
Continue the beat.
What a disservice to the citizens of Los Angeles County and the victims of crimes who have been disenfranchised and re-victimized thanks to Gascón’s policies. The victims of these crimes are predominantly women and people of color. This is usually the favorite victim groups of progressives nationwide, yet these are the groups that are being ignored and dismissed because of Gascón’s wet dream of criminal justice reimagined.
Most telling is that Holt failed to not only clearly show what has resulted from a year-and-a-half of Gascón’s policies, but he gives no oxygen to the efforts and stories from the Recall George Gascón movement.
This has happened before, however, I have already mentioned it. If legacy media doesn’t present the information, then it really doesn’t exist.
Newsflash: Gascón is going down, and the illegitimate outlets that gave him rise, and continue to give him cover, need to go down as well.
