Cue Emily Litella
Don't get me wrong, I agree protestors, counter protestors, whatever should stay off the streets and freeways............unless they are running for their lives. The OC Regicrapsster was very difficult to clearly understand. Once upon a time it was a Conservative paper but that was a long time ago and they have been apologists and advocates for illegal aliens for many years which is why many years ago we cancelled their A$$es.
See my posts. It isn’t that it was poorly written.
It was INTENTIONALLY written that way.
A clear cut case of a car running people down in a parking lot is presented to the public by a “trusted and respected” media outlet such as the Orange County Register as:
“...far right wing white supremacists illegally jaywalking and blocking traffic, and one of the right wingers smashed her windshield and smashed an American Flag through the rear window...”
Millions of Americans would read this, even today, and say to themselves “This must be true. Why would a respected newspaper lie to us?”
That is exactly the narrative the OCR wanted to disseminate.
I cannot fault people for getting the wrong impression...that was the OCR reporter’s intent. Granted, we have to at least dig and read the story to see the BS, but there are millions of people across this country who are saying “Hey, maybe the Democrats are right, and it is far right-wing white supremacists causing these rioting problems!”
Because that is what I have been hearing them say for months now.
