To the point that, generally, the media is condoning the rioting, if they are NOT at least refraining from criticism (which, is part of how I define “condone”), it is difficult to reconcile
LAST WEEK: People gathering in groups greater than 10 and without masks are spreading COVID-19
THIS WEEK: Rioters, without masks and in groups greater than 10, are expressing their frustration against the police/injustice (aside from their mischaracterization of rioters as protesters, there is no mention of COVID-19)

There's a bizarre comparison going around social media where there's an image of "stay-at-home" protesters with the caption "Protest" vs. Minneapolis "protesters" being labeled as rioters. One is White Privilege while the other is racist.
The difference is quite clear: The vast majority (if not all images from the stay-at-home folk were peaceful; Minneapolis is anything but peaceful. The Constitution protects one and not the other.
I condone the peaceful protest of these current issues, but as soon as it turns violent, and in this case, destroying the livelihoods of innocent people (your own neighbors), your protest is no longer valid.

This goes for the mainstream media, too, who are indistinguishable from the Democrats and the Left. These riots are being organized and driven by far-left anarchist groups like ANTIFA; the idea that there is any significant "white nationalist" element is preposterous.

Nothing to see here everyone. That's just the world's largest campfire over my shoulder, and they're making smores back there.

The thread referenced in this post is a conglomeration of headline articles about how lockdown protests were viewed by the media, and worth a look.

Lisa Page joins MSNBC as legal analyst Lisa Page, the former FBI lawyer who worked on former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, has joined MSNBC as a legal analyst, the network announced Friday. thehill.com/homenews/media/501423-lisa-page-joins-msnbc-as-legal-analystWho's next at MSNBC? Andrew Weissmann? oops, looks like they hired him too. You can't make a better case for bias than this. Two of the major players in the totally debunked Russian Collusion / Mueller probe are now hired as Legal analysts and experts by MSNBC.

Through either outright lying or news suppression, the MSM has fully signed on to this Trump Resistance war on America. Only FOX and OANN is covering what's actually going on. The Fake News is truly the enemy of the people.

In light of the fact that NO ONE in modern history has had more reporters investigating him, turning over every single rock in his personal, business, and political life--including anyone connected to him--and the worst his opponents can say with certainty is that he is rude, petty, and divisive, is it time to consider the possibility that Donald Trump is actually a helluva lot cleaner and buttoned up in his dealings that most D.C. politicians?
Just think about how many otherwise intelligent people have destroyed their own reputations trying to destroy him, yet he remains standing and unbowed. And maybe these folks in the media were never that smart to begin with, and their blind hatred for Trump has finally exposed that truth.
