How the fake news proprietors characterize “the people in the streets” depends on what is being protested and who is being protested against. In other words, the narrative is driven by whose ox is being gored. So much nicer to hear yourself being described as a protester as you throw a lit Molotov cocktail into an historic building than to hear yourself referred to as a terrorist for peacefully demanding that a tyrant donkey party governor set your people free while simultaneously engaging in Constitutional open carry.

I just wish I could convince more people to read Lippmann’s work, because all the answers we need are there.

Were there any hammers and circles or red stars on the protest banners prior to these riots?

What did the signage say? Was there any extremist rhetoric I know I’ve seen at least one saying kill pigs

How queer that the media is silent on this extremist rhetoric on poster signage

They were deliberately misreporting context and verbiage of poster language from Michigan earlier this month.
