Opinions should be considered editorial content, not news reporting.

Again I'll say it, assume everything the media says is a lie. Assume it's a lie until proven otherwise. Even if it's a page 17 story about a street being closed for maintenance, assume it's a lie until proven otherwise.

They've earned our distrust and scorn.

The media lies and nobody should ever believe ONE WORD that comes out of their mouths.

The problem the country has is that the Democrat base believes all of the lies, regurgitates them ad nauseum, and willingly does the work of the media/DNC without ever questioning what they are told.

Who knows what would have happened if they ended up near the White House...a version of Jan. 6? So when he walked over to a church that had been burned, and held up a Bible, I thought it was a decent thing to do. Nobody should want churches burned, and nobody seemed to care about the ugly symbolism of burning a church except him.
It was FAR worse than January 6. 49 park police were injured, churches were burning, Trump had to be evacuated to a bunker.

Yet the liars in the media, and their sycophants on social media and in the Democrat Party, have no problem lying about which event was an "insurrection" and "the greatest assault on democracy since the Civil War."

The more everyday Democrats allow the media and the DNC to get away with these obvious lies, the closer we get to an actual Civil War II. If 40% of the population didn't believe and propagate the lies, there wouldn't be as many of them. But today's Democrat base is incapable of independent thought unfortunately.

I wish I could imagine it, but it was real. Like I said frightening. I never in my life thought that America would turn into what it has become.

So a Trump appointee says the park was cleared for an unrelated reason less than an hour before Trump made his famous bible photo op. Just a big coincidence it was. Yeah, that's believable.

You aren’t glad it got cleared up, come on man!

As usual you believed your television and got triggered. I’d bet my next 20 paychecks you were melting down at the time .... “ORANGE MAN BAD HE GASSED HIS OWN PEOPLE JUST LIKE THE NAZIS”.

The media lied to you and has brainwashed you to a point where you have lost all ability to think for yourself.

I pity you.

Honestly.

Yet Another Media Tale -- Trump Tear-Gassed Protesters For a Church Photo Op -- Collapses

..ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos “reported” that “the administration asked police to clear peaceful protesters from the park across the White House so that the President could stage a photo op.” The Intercept published an article stating that “federal police used tear gas and rubber bullets to clear protesters from Lafayette Square in front of the White House,” all to feature a video where the first interviewee said: “to me, the way our military and police have behaved toward the protesters at the instruction of President Trump has almost been Nazi-like.”Nazi-like. This was repeated by virtually every major corporate outlet:...
Too bad neither McEnany nor Barr chose to articulate why the protesters were cleared when it went down, nearly a year ago.
