Prepare for the 2025 model of “principally peaceable protest.”
It’s “a small a part of the town.”
Even liberal media is aware of it seems dangerous when Mexican flag-waving punks are carrying cranium masks and setting hearth to vehicles. It’s laborious to paint President Trump as a fascist when protesters from one other nation are inciting violence and looting. They’re determined to reduce what’s occurring, to recommend that it’s Trump who’s inflaming the scenario and never the rioters themselves.
When the George Floyd riots descended into mayhem, the fixed chorus on CNN was “a principally peaceable protest.” A number of dangerous apples burned that police station, sure, however that’s not the total story.
This time round, they’re going geographic.
“Federal brokers clashed with protesters within the Los Angeles space for a 3rd day, and a whole bunch of Nationwide Guard troops had been deployed,” The New York Instances wrote. “However a lot of the sprawling metropolis operated as ordinary.”
The Instances even wrote a narrative, “Life goes on within the metropolis,” remarking on all of the parades and occasions taking place within the 18 million particular person Los Angeles space similtaneously the clashes, as if that was even related.
The framing is spreading, as this stuff often do. Monday morning’s Axios report stated, “The clashes between police and protesters had been centered in a number of blocks of downtown — a small slice of the town.”
Ah, a small slice. Guess shutting down the 101 Freeway and burning Waymo vehicles isn’t that huge a deal — every thing’s fantastic in Santa Monica!
Think about if all information was handled this manner. Homicide in Queens, however in Brooklyn, life goes on. Hurricanes in Florida, however that’s only a small slice of the United States.
The motives are so clear they’re laughable. The media needs to decrease and distract, however for the remainder of us, actuality goes on.
