Ed Morrissey has got to be one of the most informed and pleasant people on X, which says a lot when he's surrounded by garbage accounts spewing garbage content. That being said, when he gets challenged on an idea, he's more than willing to defend himself.

Politely, of course.

It all started here:

Ho-Hum, Nothing to See Except 'Lawful' Angelenos Attempting to Murder Cops; Dem Govs Endorse!

There is no other way to describe this activity than an insurrection. https://t.co/v1luvv0Z2m

Ho-Hum, indeed.

Nothing but peaceful protests for as far as the eye can see.

Morrissey follows up with this:

Don't expect to see too many of these scenes in the Protection Racket Media's coverage of the "mostly lawful" riots in Los Angeles. Having pro-Hamas agitators commit attempted mass murder on Los Angeles police officers kinda harshes the Leftist storyline, no? https://t.co/W7fB9dQbvE

Protection Racket Media.

Booyah.

That's exactly who and what the mainstream media have become: focusing their efforts on pushing a narrative rather than presenting the reality of a situation. Politico's Jonathan Martin decided to chime in at this point:

Any other possibilities between the entire city is on fire or these are merely peaceful protests ? That allowed — or we gotta live by these infantile rules https://t.co/jQm5njspdm

Infantile rules?

Dude.

Bro.

We did not invent these infantile rules. That would be you guys.

Morrissey fired back:
