Liberal Media Alternate Between Denying and Excusing Rioters and Looters

There’s a reason Americans have such little faith in the news media in 2020—and the problem isn’t President Donald Trump.

Rioting, vandalism, arson, and looting have become commonplace, but media outlets are too busy spinning narratives, rather than pursuing the truth of what is happening.

The most common tack thus far is for the media to simply deny that violence and destruction is taking place at all. A tweet by a Washington Post journalist was a good illustration, showing the National Mall in Washington, D.C., appearing to be peaceful during the day—despite the fact that clashes between police and rioters had taken place in the city’s downtown shortly before.
