The links I posted are CNBC, The Washington Post and the Daily Express (UK) and are nothing to do with Breitbart.

Six cars were burned. No one injured. "Huge violent riots." Fearmongers.

So basically, Trump got his timing wrong and announced the violence before his thugs could cause the riots in Sweden.

I bet Trump never tires of being right, nor should he.

Yes, I know. I was poking fun at the interesting logical issues some folks (not you) get themselves in when they start discounting entire organizations as "fake news".

Much of the U.S. so-called "news" hides it as well, and refuses to call what is obviously "terrorism," terrorism. But this is what we can expect here if we continue to let people in whom we know nothing about, and who come from terrorist infested countries. Indeed, we have already had too many terrorist attacks here as a result. The Left hides behind statements like, "they aren't all bad." But why should we take the risk that even ONE is a jihadist?

Trump seems to think that CNN and the BBC are entirely fake.

I think Trump is confusing fake with biased, both are probably biased towards the liberal left rather than being fake, whilst Fox and Breibart are blatently biased to the right.

Being slightly political biased is different to completley fake news, as in the type of news that sites like facebook have been subject to.

A photographer from Dagens Nyheter said he had been assaulted by a group of around 15 people when arriving in Rinkeby to report on the unrest.

"I was hit with a lot of punches and kicks both to my body and my head. I have spent the night in hospital," he told the newspaper.

At around 10.20pm police said that there had been a second violent riot, with seven to eight cars set on fire. An hour later they said that some stores in the area had been looted, although there were no reports on the extent of the looting.

Reports have been filed on three violent riots, violence against a police officer, two assaults, vandalism and aggravated thefts, according to an update on the police's website.
