Yet Another Media Tale — Trump Tear-Gassed Protesters For a Church Photo Op — Collapses
That Park Police violently cleared Lafayette Park at Trump’s behest was treated as unquestioned truth by corporate media.
Today it was revealed by the independent IG Report to be an utter falsehood. Watch how readily and easily they spread lies. From CNN on June 1:

The IG’s Report could not be clearer: the media narrative was false from start to finish.
Plans to clear the Park were made before anyone knew Trump was coming. Some journalists, like @MZHemingway, said this at the time, but were “debunked” and declared liars by “fact-checkers.”
The IG is long-time respected DC official from the Obama years.
Yet again, the corporate media outlets that most loudly and shrilly denounce “disinformation” — to the point of demanding censorship in its name — got caught spreading outright falsehoods for week with no dissent.
It is hard to count how many times they have spread major fake stories in the Trump years. They have nobody but themselves to blame for the utter collapse in trust by the public, which has *rightfully* concluded they cannot and should not be believed.
The IG who issued this report is a DC official from the *Obama years.* He obtained proof showing the decision to clear the Park was made well before Trump decided to go to the Church.
Liberals still refuse to believe it because they adore corporate media & want to be lied to.
The reason the IG report is persuasive isn’t because the IG said so and therefore you should trust him. That’s how liberals reason.
The reason it’s persuasive is the *proof* is presented in documentary form, which you can evaluate, and when you do, you’ll see it’s conclusive.
Over and over and over, the media corporations that claim to oppose “disinformation” spread it more aggressively and destructive than anyone. Anyone who still trusts them is irrational. They threw away every last standard in the name of stopping Trump:
