The evil that men do lives after them. Unless they are part of, or useful to, the Woke Ruling Class—in which case all is forgiven.

That introductory line is fitting for several reasons. Colin Flaherty ( [link removed] ) was an afficionado of Shakespeare, from whom the line ( [link removed] ) is stolen. And he loved to point out ( [link removed] ) the hypocrisy of the far-Left media, who beatified their martyrs like “St. George of Floyd” ( [link removed] ) and “St. Michael of Brown ( [link removed] ) ” while excommunicating Thomas Jefferson ( [link removed] ) and even Abraham Lincoln ( [link removed] ). And him, and countless others.

Finally, it’s fitting because in the coming year we should expect to see a deluge of celebration and schadenfreude from the Main Stream Media, gleefully noting the passing of another old white guy ( [link removed] ) without any self-awareness ( [link removed] ) or even a hint that they’re just validating the ironic observations of both Mark Antony ( [link removed] ) and Mr. Flaherty. ( [link removed] )

Colin Flaherty, an award-winning journalist and best-selling author whose career spanned over four decades, died on Tuesday at home, surrounded by friends and family. The cause was cancer ( [link removed] ) , a family member said.

In 1992, Colin Flaherty was the darling of the liberal press, for exposing the truth. At some point in the next decade or two, he would be vilified for the same thing.

Thirty years ago, Colin used his extensive investigative skills to exonerate Kelvin Wiley, ( [link removed] ) a black man wrongfully accused of attempting to murder his white ex-girlfriend. Flaherty won numerous awards for this work, and the case was later featured in the Los Angeles Times [ Conviction Set Aside as Boy Recants, ( [link removed] ) by Carol Masciola, August 20, 1992] and on Court TV.

But when the journalism profession orthodoxy moved on to become a publicity mill for the far Left, Flaherty stubbornly clung to his training, his ethics, and his conscience.

So he became a Thought Criminal ( [link removed] ) and needed to be canceled. First by YouTube ( [link removed] ) , then PayPal ( [link removed] ) , then Facebook, and finally Amazon ( [link removed] ) —the tech monopolies moved swiftly to punish Flaherty for his Wrongthink. Twitter remained the only social media giant that put up with him. ( [link removed] )
