Of course. Most of what you hear from protest groups at D.C. is manufactured.
Or really any kind of "man on the street" videos.
There's limits, of course, but it's not like the media has been lying for decades.
The Israel-Palestine conflict is the worst.
Given everything and with how the First Nation members have had toe ammend their statements and wtiht the 2 hour video debunking many justifications it is clear that the First Nation group is acting in bad faith
He isnt saying what he is actually thinking, then? Because so far is sentiment on twitter atleast, has been that he has confidence in concluding the matters as he states them, which is a conclusion that doesn't align with a "liberal" position .
He can't waffle on twitter. Too few characters.
There are no more liberal possitions. especialy not on twitter
Honestly, I kinda wish Tim would just go with a more "just the facts" statement, without editorializing in general. But to each their own.
Actually, the media bias and lying is primarily via exclusion and subtly shifting the frame.
The editorializing is he MO honestly
It's what's in the headlines. What gets in the article.
@Khanclansith Really? I'm super curious as to how you arrive at them being some setup victims of a greater "hit piece"
The subtle choices of words.
It's what I find to be just mystifying
Well, for one thing, there was a camera just in the right position...
Which isn't that unusual. But the editing was done on purpose.
Nathan (the Native American who was leading the group) has been known to create racial ruckuses before.
The first call was the false meme JPEG that went out claiming the MAGA students attacked the FN group.
Probably with a similar MO.
It's actually not unusual among more radical minority organizations.
3 the long video doesn't have any of the "Build a wall" or anything else in the audio
There's loads of content to consume and cultivate a thorough assessment, which does not lead to the determin nation that definitely absolves the group
The real target isn't the middle or the right, they want to build support among the left for their own small organization.
4 the Hate group was ignored in all statements until it was called out
Starting fights with obviously right-leaning groups and playing victim is common.
5 the FN moved right into the middle of the students and got right in their face trying to provoke reactions
And this comes from the kinds of manuals and textbooks that are passed around those grievance studies programs.
I'd actually bet the FN guys had contacts in the media to push the narrative exactly.
indtead of like one would think from the FN Member's statements form a barrier between the two to keep peace
One of the tricks of radical action is to convince people they aren't seeing what they're actually seeing.
Alright so addressing point by point, if I may. Which, thanks for laying those out by the way
It's why ANTIFA screams 'peaceful protest' while throwing firecrackers.
6 we already have people taking down the proof that students were reacting to the hate group multiple times
It's not that ANTIFA actually cares, it's because they want to convince onlookers that they're not 'violent'
It ruins videos showing them attacking people because it 're-contextualizes' the scene.
Do I need to keep going?
This might not have been planed in advance, but it was what the military would call a "Target of Opertunity."
Radical left groups will actually rehearse certain actions with members observing for a distance to try and control media spin and manipulate the image given out.
This also, by the way, is why it can be hard for people like Tim to get good information from their protests. They have 'trained' PR people in the wings.
