The amazing part is that they are so shameless about it! Can you imagine the Axis media calling the J-6 riot—which lasted a single day—“mostly peaceful” based on all the video showing protesters casually touring the Capitol while the physical confrontations were going on? Even the conservative media didn’t try to spin the protest-turned-riot as “peaceful.”
In 2021, as the George Floyd Freakout, the BLM scam and The Great Stupid spread their dark wings over the land, CNN national correspondent Omar Jimenez was reporting live on the violent rioting taking place in Kenosha, Wissonsin following the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake…who absolutely, unequivocally, undeniably provoked it and got it.
[Notice of Correction (and my stupid mistake): I carelessly wrote “fatal” with “shooting” while describing ever so briefly the Jacob Blake affair. That one, of course, was the one police-involved-shooting where the perp survived. I didn’t check my own sources, including EA, because the details were irrelevant to the reference. Stupid, as I said.]
Standing in front of a raging fire, Jimenez was accompanied by the fake news chyron at the bottom of the screen reading, “FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING.” The moment became an iconic example of Axis media dishonesty and spin, and rightly so. “The phrase ‘beyond parody’ doesn’t begin to describe this,” conservative commentator Matt Walsh said. “Clowns. Irresponsible clowns. It’s not even funny. Months of enabling violence and destruction by ignoring and downplaying it, thereby eliminating any pressure on politicians to take action,” conservative writer A.G. Hamilton reacted.
Naturally, the Axis news media—the Times, the Post, PBS, the rest— circled the wagons and featured no criticism or even mention of CNN’s mendacity. And now, here is the BBC, pretending that kind of gaslighting is “independent journalism,” doing the exact same thing again as if it is competent reporting.
Over to you, Frank Drebbin…
Come on, Jack. Those are just protests for better schools! Seriously, it is amazing they can’t bring themselves to describe the carnage in France as organized, anarchist riots.
Better schools? Surely, you just! Doesn’t France do everything better than the U.S.? What could they be protesting about?
Exactly.
Baghdad Bob would be so proud
Gaslighting is the language of the MSM.
This is the world they are trying to get America to be. And they may, despite their awkward lying, get it.
Let’s hope and pray this doesn’t come to pass.
Gaslighting is the language of the MSM. And of the Democrat party and the DNC.
Jacob Blake survived.
I don’t blame you for believing otherwise, Jack, that’s just one of many “facts” about the case that were fabricated out of whole cloth by the mainstream media.
No, I never thought that; I just made a careless mistake. I just corrected it. Thanks for the note: he was the one scumbag who got shot in a police involved shooting of his own making who didn’t die. I remembered the circumstances of the shooting, just not the aftermath. Can’t blame the media.
The hate has been earned a long time. I live near two of the eco-terrorist attacks back in the ’90s. https://www.justice.gov/archive/usao/waw/press/2005/dec/ecoterrorattacks.html
One of the local newspaper reporters “embedded” with some of the attacks. The terrorists attacked two logging businesses near me that were burned down. They destroyed log trucks, heavy equipment and burned down the office buildings. The reporter called it a “caper”. Yeah, arson is a caper. One of the business owners wanted to know if this kind of attack had happened to an abortion clinic, would it still be called a caper?
This journalist went right up to the edge on the line. I’m happy to see that Don Lemon is getting the treatment this journalist should have.
