I see this is in the UK press. Any US media reporting it yet?

Out of curiosity I did a quick look. I could find no major media coverage of the riot. And that’s not surprising. For quite some time now, if you want unfiltered US news you’ve got to go to a UK website.
The Founders would have been amazed by that. And not in a good way.
not yet. The last article was 5 days ago about the district school office being burned. Another about 8 days ago with Sheila Jackson Lee lamenting that Portland (white) rioters were racially profiled and teargassed but DC (white) rioters weren’t because racism. Which just goes to show she has no clue about current events or the racial profiles of the participants.
There was a mention of Portland 2 days ago, but about the officers themselves. No pretty participation ribbons for them.

The Daily Mail(!) functions for us much like The Voice of America did for Eastern Europe in the 50’s and 60’s, transmitting factual news to occupied lands.
