LA Riots Chaos: Media Spins Violence as 'Mostly Peaceful' Amid Looting and Arson

The streets of Los Angeles have once again become a battleground, with recent riots spiraling into chaos—looting, arson, and attacks on police, culminating in a Democrat-ordered curfew. Yet, if you tuned into major news outlets, you’d think you stumbled upon a serene yoga retreat. The narrative? Everything is "mostly peaceful." Ignore the burning cars, the shattered storefronts, and the violence. Apparently, that’s just a minor footnote in this tale of tranquility.

From The New York Times to Reuters, the word "peaceful" is sprinkled through coverage like confetti at a parade. CNN called the protests "initially peaceful," as if that’s a meaningful distinction when the end result is chaos. Over on ABC’s 'The View,' Whoopi Goldberg insisted it’s been peaceful for days, while Sunny Hostin fretted over the National Guard’s presence, warning of "fascism" and even "civil war." Yes, enforcing the law is now the real threat, not the flames engulfing Waymo cars.

Then there’s the absurdity of ABC7 Los Angeles, where anchor Jory Rand described rioters watching cars burn as "just a bunch of people having fun." Fun? I suppose if your idea of a good time is roasting marshmallows over a torched sedan. Meanwhile, CNN’s Dana Bash couldn’t resist pinning the blame on Trump, comparing his response to an arsonist calling the fire department. Never mind the actual arsonists setting LA ablaze.

Let’s not forget the media’s darling, Governor Gavin Newsom, who’s being painted as some heroic resistance leader. Outlets like Politico and CNN are practically scripting his tough-guy movie trailer, while ignoring the real emergency: the unchecked violence. And The Times? They argue Trump sending troops is the crisis, not the looting or stone-throwing at police from overpasses.

This isn’t journalism; it’s a masterclass in denial. When the narrative trumps reality, and burning cities are dubbed peaceful, it’s time to ask: who’s really fanning the flames here?
