NBC News Runs Hit Piece on Libs of TikTok Claiming Posts Linked to Bomb Threats

NBC News on Wednesday published a hit piece targeting popular X user Libs of TikTok, claiming the social media account’s posts were responsible for a spate of bomb threats made against several schools.

In a piece titled, “After Libs of TikTok posted, at least 21 bomb threats followed,” author David Ingram suggests the account, run by conservative activist Chaya Raichik, inspired bomb threats against schools she made criticized in posts.

In one instance highlighted, Ingram writes that a Coralville, Iowa, detective noted in a police report that a recent bomb threat at a local junior high school happened after a Libs of TikTok post on a “pornographic” book found inside the school’s library.

Despite being uncertain, the detective “wrote in her report that one of Raichik’s supporters could have had a role in the bomb threat,” according to Ingram.

NBC News also claimed they “identified 33 instances, starting in November 2020, when people or institutions singled out by Libs of TikTok later reported bomb threats or other violent intimidation.”

Ingram is careful to note, however, that “Raichik, 29, is not accused of making any bomb threats in Iowa or anywhere else.”

Responding to the hit piece on X, Raichik blasted NBC News for using its vast resources to target her account, which mainly raises awareness about the leftist grooming unfolding at schools across America.

“Let’s make one thing very clear: NBC News ran to the FBI, detectives, Police Chiefs, & others to try to link me to b*mb threats,” Raichik wrote in an X post.

“Their goal is to silence me by having me investigated and thrown in prison for posting tiktoks and exposing the grooming and sxuliz*tion of children,” she wrote, adding, “This is war.”

Raichik also commented that Ingram’s “slanderous article” was now causing her to be the target of threats of violence.

One X user, Wall Street Silver, surmised NBC News was merely attempting to rid itself of a news industry competitor.

“The goal of NBC News is to silence the competition,” the X user wrote. “They realize that successful independent journalists like Libs of TikTok now have a larger and more engaged audience than NBC News. Legacy news media has lost it’s role as the gatekeeper of information and facts.”

“These articles attacking LibsofTikTok are more about trying to eliminate the competition.”

Other users on X encouraged Raichik to file a defamation lawsuit against NBC News.
