The media should take most of the blame for the protesting we saw in Washington before President Trump’s inauguration.
The constant false reporting being spewed has been unrelenting. Even conservative stations are not helping whatsoever. One example of this has been using the word “insurrection” instead of “riot” for Jan. 6, 2021.
The FBI has already said it was not an insurrection, yet the media continues to use the word every chance it gets. For example, the members of “The View” comparing it to World War II or the Holocaust.
Then we wonder why there is so much unrest out there. People should give the new president a chance to show what he will do to help with inflation and immigration, and also the economy.
