We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth. Here at home, the media is pushing a false narrative of “LA riots” using images of burning cars, fires that were started by police. Why? Because chaos sells. And because they’re afraid of losing access to Trump. But this isn’t journalism. It’s complicity.
Yesterday, the LAPD released a statement calling the protests peaceful. They had no reason to do that, except that it’s true. Meanwhile, the administration is planting instigators and inflaming tensions to justify its own lawless actions. No one, not even Trump, gets to trample the Constitution.
This morning, Trump thanked the National Guard for handling protests they weren’t even present for. That’s how far they’ll go to sell the lie. Trump wants this fight, not to keep peace, but to justify using the military against Americans. A textbook authoritarian move.
