Protests or Riots? Right-wing Media Is Spreading Trump Propaganda. Again.

Jennifer Schulze

Here are two headlines about the very same story. One is telling you the truth, the other is spinning Trump propaganda:

“LA protests: Trump sends thousands more troops in ‘authoritarian’ move”

“US Marines to deploy to Los Angeles to help quell anti-ICE riots”

The first is a more accurate version of events from the non-profit, fact-based journalism outlet, The Guardian US. The other? It’s by Fox, the Murdoch empire’s flagship and Donald Trump’s most powerful media partner.

Reminds me of my ass-kissing sister.

We had an abusive, authoritarian father, who used to say, "I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong."

And at age 20, my sister cheerfully repeated, "Dad may not always be right, but he's never wrong." It was the closest I ever came to hitting her.

I think many of them fully expected hoards of “antifa“ to show up so they could mow them down with their weapons. They are still fantasizing about that. I believe it didn’t happen because we are sensible people and antifa is something they made up their mind to be an enemy. I think this is going to turn out to be a dud as well as far as the violence they are craving. I’ve been to a few recent demonstrations. It’s old people. It’s young kids, dogs, everything, there’s no riots.
