It’s pretty obvious to those of us who were watching the live streams of the summer’s riots online and not the evening news’ coverage that the media didn’t have much to say about mob violence — except perhaps that it’s justified. Antifa? No organization is perfect, but its heart’s in the right place. Property destruction isn’t violence; insurance can replace whatever’s burned down.
Tom Elliott of Grabien Media has put together a supercut of talking heads reacting to just about every Democrat-run city being in flames this summer. The difference is that the mob that charged the Capitol Building were insurrectionists, and thus their cause was not just. See for yourself:
SUERCUT!

And for those who think this justifies that sickening and deadly breach of the Capitol, it absolutely does not. This is a classic case of bias in broad daylight when comparing and contrasting violent protests.

This isn't even the worst of the clips.

Can you imagine if Tucker Carlson said, "it says it right in the name. Proud boys. They are just proud…boys."

The fires from the protesters could have set the reporter's pants on fire & he still would have said it was a mostly peaceful protest. I have no use for these people. Maybe his viewers are as dumb as dirt.

Is there an amendment in the constitution to remove the media for insurrection & inciting violence?

Care to comment @cnn ?
Or just let your dangerous hypocrisy speak for itself— T Bates (@TomBates101) January 7, 2021
Incredible hypocrisy. All violence is terrible and the MSM is selective in what and how they choose to cover the news.

It’s a fact, and common knowledge, that media has helped to create the very permissiveness which allowed Trump supporters, a little unhinged I might add, to act in the same way they’ve watched for the last year. If there’s frustration, these media chowderheads helped nurture it.

Apparently the difference between the descriptor "mob" and "mostly peaceful protestors" depends on which agenda you are trying to push…

The people who rioted in the capital yesterday were thugs .. the #blm rioters, looters and arsonists were also thugs. I'm not a hypocrite but the media and the left are.

As a bonus, here’s Joe Biden’s speech about the Capitol riots superimposed with images he’s probably never even seen:

By the way, Kamala Harris is still accepting donations to bail out those arrested for rioting and looting in Minneapolis:
If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw
