Good news, everyone! Nuance is back in style.
Thanks to ABC News for letting us know:
Several deaths have been connected to protests, but the story is more complicated. https://t.co/WnI7jZ6iL6

A left-wing protestor in Portland shot and killed a man for being a Trump supporter and somehow that’s “complicated” https://t.co/14gHsBE30f

We didn’t think so … but then, we’re not journalists, so what do we know?

Several deaths reported after planes crash into the WTC, but the story is more complicated

Someone died at Charlottesville, but *that* narrative is helpful

Speaking of Charlottesville:
Are they saying that there are fine people on both sides? https://t.co/E5klaJJUBS

You know what? It kinda sounds like that’s exactly what ABC News is saying.
If it were only BLM/Antifa thugs who died during the riots, ABC News could just push straight ahead with making them victims of right-wing violence. But since some deaths don’t fit that narrative, ABC News has to adjust accordingly.
Several deaths have been connected to police encounters, but the story is more complicated.
A headline you'll never see from the legacy media.

It's only complicated if you're trying to make excuses for what really happened.
— Sween (@sweenprs) September 8, 2020
The story is always more complicated when you need to make excuses for your side.

That’s how it works now.
Points for trying, I guess.

And you wonder why people hate the news media.

No matter how low your opinion is of American journalists, it’s not low enough. https://t.co/us7hX3E6Bn
