Media Lies About Protesters & Trump's Walk

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

Just think about how much the media has to lie and twist the facts to make perfectly fine story into an "Orange Man Bad" narrative. And all these LWNJs on here and all over social media just swallow it and regurgitate it. We literally have people that believe Trump standing in front of a church holding a Bible is worse than people who tried to burn down the same church the day before. We have people ignoring or making excuses for people that are rioting, committing acts of violence, and destroying private property because of... "muh racism." Half of this country has lost its damned mind.

We need to return to law & order, and yet we have a bunch of Democrat mayors & governors who say they don't want help from the Feds while their cities burn. Will the people in these cities ever hold these Democrats accountable?

===============================================================================

Media Falsely Claimed Violent Riots Were Peaceful And That Tear Gas Was Used Against Rioters
The entire narrative the media glommed onto in lockstep was that Trump was a monster who tear-gassed peaceful protesters to do something meaningless. None of that was true.
By Mollie Hemingway
June 2, 2020

Following days of violent riots and looting in cities across the country, Washington, D.C., announced a 7 p.m. curfew on Monday night. About the same time, President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the Rose Garden. Afterward, he walked through Lafayette Park to St. John’s Episcopal Church, which rioters had set on fire the night before. Standing before the church sign, which reads “All are welcome,” President Trump, who previously said he’d be paying his respects to a very special place, held up a Bible.

The speech announcing the country would return to rule of law and protection of civil liberties, the walk through a park that the night before had been given over to rioters, and the visit to the vandalized historic church where every president has worshiped since James Madison, were reassuring to many in the country.

For the media, however, these actions were further proof that Orange Man Bad is literally the worst, restoring rule of law is criminal, and standing in front of a church holding a Bible is an assault on the American conscience. They focused on how the Park Police had cleared the area ahead of the city-wide curfew declared by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.

Facts were no barrier to their narrative. They spun a tale of violent, jack-booted cops running rampant through the streets over innocent docile protesters, using tear gas to clear the area. It turns out none of that was true.

Every single major media outlet falsely reported that Park Police were unprovoked when they used “tear gas” to clear the area. If any of that were true, it might mark the first time in history that cops without gas masks launched tear gas in an area that the president of the United States easily walked through minutes later.

After thousands of false tweets, print stories, and broadcast stories to the contrary, local journalist Neal Augenstein of WTOP reported that a Park Police source said “tear gas was never used — instead smoke canisters were deployed, which don’t have an uncomfortable irritant in them.” Further, the source said the crowd was dispersed because of projectiles being thrown by the “peaceful protesters” at the Park Police and because “peaceful protesters” had climbed on top of a structure in Lafayette Park that had been burned the prior night.

Sgt. Eduardo Delgado, the public information officer for the Park Police, confirmed the agency did not use tear gas. And later this afternoon, United States Park Police acting Chief Gregory T. Monahan exploded the entire false narrative:
On Monday, June 1, the USPP worked with the United States Secret Service to have temporary fencing installed inside Lafayette Park. At approximately 6:33 pm, violent protestors on H Street NW began throwing projectiles including bricks, frozen water bottles and caustic liquids. The protestors also climbed onto a historic building at the north end of Lafayette Park that was destroyed by arson days prior. Intelligence had revealed calls for violence against the police, and officers found caches of glass bottles, baseball bats and metal poles hidden along the street.

To curtail the violence that was underway, the USPP, following established policy, issued three warnings over a loudspeaker to alert demonstrators on H Street to evacuate the area. Horse mounted patrol, Civil Disturbance Units and additional personnel were used to clear the area. As many of the protestors became more combative, continued to throw projectiles, and attempted to grab officers’ weapons, officers then employed the use of smoke canisters and pepper balls. No tear gas was used by USPP officers or other assisting law enforcement partners to close the area at Lafayette Park. Subsequently, the fence was installed.
Prior to getting the actual facts, nearly every major media outlet falsely reported that canisters of tear gas, not smoke canisters, were used against peaceful protesters. The false story spread internationally despite its lack of evidence. Here are just a few of the uncountable examples.

Reuters published a video it claimed showed U.S. Park Police using tear gas. The video did not show any such thing. A Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter tweeted out an NPR piece headlined “Park Police Tear Gas Peaceful Protesters To Clear Way For Trump Church Photo-Op.”

PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor reported erroneously that she was “still processing that I saw peaceful protesters teargassed outside the White House so Pres Trump could walk to St. John’s Episcopal Church.”

The Washington Post ran an article falsely headlined, “Inside the push to tear-gas protesters ahead of a Trump photo op,” authored by Ashley Parker, Josh Dawsey, and Rebecca Tan. Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson claimed Tan “was tear-gassed in reporting this story.” Gender and family issues reporter Samantha Schmidt retweeted that claim, adding, “There were five of us Post reporters — all young women — near Lafayette Square when federal officers started spraying gas and rubber bullets.”

The New York Times falsely headlined its article, “Tear Gas Clears Path for Trump to Visit Church.” An accompanying video showing the result of smoke canisters was falsely headlined:

“His walk came after riot police and National Guard troops used tear gas and flash grenades to clear a path through a peaceful protest in a city park,” the New York Times falsely reported about both the use of tear gas and whether the protests were peaceful. They were not.

In response to Augenstein, Garrett Haake claimed, “Tear gas was definitely used, and park police can’t that.” Asked what made him sure about his claim, he cited his “experience. the burning sensation it caused in my lungs, & my retired marine security.”

Here is a video of the effects of actual tear gas used in training.

MSNBC falsely reported, “Trump Visits Church After Police Clear Protesters With Tear Gas.”

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos reported the doubly false “Police use tear gas, push back peaceful protesters for Trump church visit.”

The Washington Post’s dramatic Philip Rucker falsely claimed in a tweet that “Military police fire tear gas at peaceful protesters to clear street in front of St. John’s.”

Peter Baker of the New York Times falsely reported on the security threats and how they were removed, saying, “police and troops have moved against peaceful protesters with tear gas and flash bangs.”

Here the New York Times falsely claimed the protesters were peaceful and that tear gas was used against them:

Brett LoGiurato, the senior editor of Wharton Press peddled the tear gas lie and instructed his political allies to censor the news:
Image

Maggie Haberman of the New York Times also peddled the lies about tear gas and peaceful protesters:
Image

NPR hit a trifecta by falsely reporting about tear gas, falsely reporting about peaceful protesting, and as a bonus downplaying the arson against the church:
Image

Religion News Service’s Jack Jenkins got the story wrong.

The Daily Beast/CNN’s Jackie Kucinich also falsely reported about peaceful protests and tear gas. She wrote, “This was a peaceful protest. And they are using tear gas. In the United States. In front of the White House. They tear gassed peacefully protesting and shot rubber bullets at people so President Trump could walk across the park to St. Johns on television. Correction …he had protesters tear gassed to walk to St. Johns, hold up a Bible in front of the church, usher in advisors for the photo-op. And then … walk home.” Whatever the previous sentences of fact-free emoting are, they’re not journalism.

Jonathan Swan of Axios claimed an anonymous “senior White House official told Axios that when they saw the tear gas clearing the crowd for Trump to walk to the church with his entourage: ‘I’ve never been more ashamed. I’m really honestly disgusted. I’m sick to my stomach. And they’re all celebrating it. They’re very very proud of themselves.’” To state the obvious: this source seems extremely poorly informed and not worth granting anonymity to.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Fox News contributor Jonah Goldberg both fell for and used the false reporting as a means of critiquing former Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin for complimenting Trump’s visit to St. John’s. Former Obama ambassador Michael McFaul, who has repeatedly spread false stories related to the Russia collusion hoax, also fell for this story.

The entire narrative the media glommed onto in lockstep was that Trump was a monster who tear-gassed peaceful protesters to do something meaningless. None of that was true. But it took a day of reporting to get the truth out, long after the lie took hold.

At times it seems as if there is nothing that many in the media won’t lie about to accomplish their political goals.

In related news, despite or perhaps because of the media hysteria, polls show overwhelming majorities of Americans support the use of the National Guard and the military to bring peace to the cities the media claim aren’t being targeted by violent riots.

Their repeated lies diminish their credibility and further the narrative that the media is, above all else, about taking down Trump by any means necessary. They've lost thier moral high ground and their right to criticize him -- glass houses.

What about what he did was a clown move? Just the day before the media had bashed Trump for running and hiding in his bunker, when in actuality the secret service demanded he go there as part of their protective protocol based on the riots -- riots, not protests, outside the white house. The media demanded he show the country some image of solidarity, that he say something. So he did. And now he's being criticized for that. Do you see a pattern here?

It's a clown move to do a ridiculous photo op with a book he probably hasn't touched since he was sworn in. It's a clown move to engage in such a ridiculous photo op in response to criticism from the very media you think are not credit worthy. It's a clown move to drag half of your cabinet with you. He would not survive 6 months as CEO of a public company.

It' much easier to run a public company and you have more direct control.
So what should he have done? Please, I'd love to hear what would have satisfied a leftist.

LOL. Easier to run a public company? You have more direct control? What the hell are you talking about? The Board would toss him on his arse. They owe a fiduciary duty to their shareholders.

If I were Trump I would have just stuck to giving a strong, unifying speech in the Rose Garden. But unfortunately Trump doesn't have any strong, competent voices around him willing to give him the right advice.

Disagree. I think Trump would do well running a public company. Corporate boards are generally disengaged for the most part. Their role is policy and oversight. Boards don't dabble in any day to day issues. He might ba a little like Elon Musk, but he would be successful.

And your insinuation that running the US is easier than a public company is just laughable. Trump would have much more control over day to day matters and decision making at a business than he does as president. He wouldn't have a congress opposing his every thought and move.

My "insinuation" was that Trump apologists like to cite his career running businesses as his qualifications to be president. But none of those were public companies, or really situations in which he could be held accountable, like if he were CEO of a public company.

Their repeated lies diminish their credibility and further the narrative that the media is, above all else, about taking down Trump by any means necessary. They've lost thier moral high ground and their right to criticize him -- glass houses.

What about what he did was a clown move? Just the day before the media had bashed Trump for running and hiding in his bunker, when in actuality the secret service demanded he go there as part of their protective protocol based on the riots -- riots, not protests, outside the white house. The media demanded he show the country some image of solidarity, that he say something. So he did. And now he's being criticized for that. Do you see a pattern here?
Hold on, this is now a standard? "Their repeated lies diminish their credibility".

The whole thing was a clown show. The ppl standing there were not doing anything until the police (or whoever they were) came out and cleared them away so Trump could walk across the street.

LOL@ bitching that they only used smoke canisters and flash grenades so Trump could walk across the street to a place he's never been to before.

Regardless of what you're overall Trump thoughts are, it had to make you cringe having him use the Bible as a prop, no? At least a little?

The rioters were throwing things at the police. On 3 occasions the police used megaphones to tell the crowd to back up and move away from that block. They didn't. Do smoke was used to disperse them.
