If Bill Kristol understands this, millennial reporters certainly can.

Our wretched legacy media is very enthusiastically going to portray the protestors as antifa terrorist thugs destroying property and wantonly threatening public order.

They will cheer and ~sane-wash the most violent and unjust repression, because they desperately want Trump to rule us like a king.

Tbh everything I’ve seen is “Trump sent in the national guard for uh? I guess a couple hundred people outside a Home Depot”

Adam Schiff thinks the protestors need to shhhhhh or something because Trump, um, might do something extreme. 🤨

Yeah. There’s our air support.

You expect honesty from the US media?

And one openly framed as the first step in making this reality everywhere, across the entire USA. Los Angeles is literally on the front lines of freedom and I hope you and everyone else I know even vaguely in that city stay as safe as possible when this shit's going on.

They like him and want him to be in charge.

So I suspect we will have to find a way to do without that.

Press is being suppressed, caving to trump and fox “news” is a joke!

Some of the local reporting is really really bad. It's sickening to see local media report on this through the lens of authorities and not the people. KTLA's reporting tonight is appalling. https://ktla.com/about-ktla/contact-us/submit-feedback-for-ktla-5-station-management/

I don't know if other networks are following suit, but it was predictable that CNN anchors and their guests would ignore the wider, anti-ICE theme of the protests once those cars started burning.

Police vs protestors is an easier (and lazier) narrative to sell than ICE and Trump vs everyone.
