Journalism 101

Journalism is a contact sport. Especially if you remain in lock step with those who have gone before. Over the course of history brave journalists have proven it’s possible to get to the bottom if your intentions are good and strong. Remember Walter Cronkite on the beach in Normandy. Eric Sevareid parachuting into Burma. John Howard Griffin who wanted to know what it was like to be black and took certain drugs to become black and went south and became “Black Like Me.” Dan Rather standing against Nixon in Texas. All of those moments are great journalism. Kind of reminds you of Kyle Clark, doesn’t it? And the entire Channel 9 news staff. Brave men and women all.

In the aftermath of Channel 9’s crew who hired a security guard who wasn’t a security guard, who shot a patriot between the eyes, Kyle Clark, man child in journalism land, took down every one of his tweets that he had made attacking the Colorado conservative scene. According to Colorado Peak Politics, Kyle Clark has deleted a series of tweets in which he mocked the idea that Denver has become increasingly dangerous even as his station is hiring armed security for its reporters. I’m told he now has full-time armed security, 24-7. In the words of Joe Biden, “Come on, man.” Kyle, dude, man up. According to Red State, Clark is described by some Antifa accounts as “one of us” and therefore did not need security because Antifa would protect him.

So that’s why, to seal up any problems covering the murder case they brought in a reporter from WFAA their sister station. Meaning the same dudes that pay Kyle Clark are paying the other reporter.

As we go to press the alleged agitator Jeremiah Elliott not only is appearing on Channel 9 in a hard hitting interview that begins with “How are you, man?” and Channel 4 that can’t quite ask him if he knew 9News producer Zach Newman or if he knew the murderer Matthew Dolloff. That’s the kind of stuff that would make Bob Woodward proud.

As you read this they have still not interviewed one of their own, the producer Zach Newman. Is it fair to ask did they all know one another? Were they, as other people have said, huddled up in a team? How about that moment when the body is not cold yet when Denver Police Division Chief Montoya immediately tells the press Antifa was not involved? How did they know to say that? And to his left is Chief Paul Pazen with a mask on.

All one had to do was a slight dive into the internet to turn all of these people up. In fact, Dolloff has the Antifa tattoo on his wrist. And Antifa wasn’t involved? Well, we now know Elliott has been involved in numerous Antifa riots acting as a street commander. Who told Montoya to say that to the press?

This Elliott character is a street general, he was very instrumental in the Aurora Police Department violent attacks during the summer. Also, there’s the video of him running from the scene screaming “one less white supremacist” and “in the f-ing ing dome.” Elliottt grabbed his cammo vest and bolted from the scene.

Where is the investigative media? At 710KNUS, the Chuck and Julie podcast at chuckandjulie.com, and here at the Chronicle. And folks that’s about it. Was the media, The Denver Post and Channel 9, shadowing Jeremiah Elliott to get the money shot? He’s a provocateur. Were they waiting for him to give them what they wanted?

On the two interviews he appears in he uses the possessive “our” when talking about Channel 9. Was that a Freudian slip or was he telling the truth? When Channel 9’s hard hitting reporter asked why was he wearing the black guns matter shirt he said it was just in his closet and he was just walking around downtown at the time. In Channel 4’s interview at least, and I use this word loosely, he has the decency to say no comment.

I’ll leave you with two questions. Was Elliott working in any capacity with Channel 9? Was he friendly with the accused murderer Matthew Dolloff?

Ellliott has a history of anti-cop protests. Tig Tiegen who put the Muster together believes they were all in lock step. What if Matthew Dolloff rolls over and tries to make a deal to save time in the penitentiary? Channel 9 has huge problems. Pinkerton has big problems and what was Dolloff doing working at Channel 7 a few days before he shot and killed Lee Keltner? This sucker is like Lee Harvey Oswald. He appears all over the place.

I don’t have any answers, just a hell of a lot of questions, and the Front Range media, with a few exceptions, is disgusting and despicable.

You don’t have to worry about Trump supporters burning dumpsters in front of your house. That is done by people the media like. And now, as Malcom X said, the chickens have come home to roost.
