“A lie of omission is still a lie.”

From The Hill we get the following: Don’t hide the truth about who made violent threats against Target

You have probably heard that Target corporation has received threats of various kinds over its "Pride Collection." You definitely haven't heard who is making those threats.

And as far as lies of omission are concerned, certain newsrooms are guilty of it last week following a spate of bomb threats leveled against Target stores. The threats were made by individuals who claim they’re upset about the retailer’s decision to remove certain pride-month related merchandise, not its decision to sell that merchandise. But you’d hardly know this from a casual glance at the news.

“Target stores see more bomb threats over Pride merchandise,” the Washington Post reported this week. The subhead adds, “Locations in at least five states were evacuated this weekend, and no explosives were discovered.”

You have to dig fairly deep to discover that the people making the threats are not Donald Trump supporters, but "allies" of the LGBTQ-eieo-lmnop brigade.

Yes, the threats allegedly came from people claiming to be upset about the removal of pride-themed merchandise, not from belligerent conservatives upset about the merchandise itself.
