There is journalism malpractice, there is stupidity, there is lying, there is propaganda, and then there is ABC News. Not to be outdone by rival CBS’s spliced coverage of Ron De Santis or NPR’s squashing of the Hunter Biden laptop story, the heady ABC executives attempted the reportage equivalent of saying two girls and a cup was a buddy system for weight loss. (Disclaimer: If you don’t know what that references, please do not search for it).
Running an April 8th article titled “White supremacists, extremists may use Chauvin trial to further their agendas,” ABC distorted reality beyond recognition when it reviewed a recent Department of Homeland Security intelligence briefing.
It used to be that we could rhetorically ask: Who believes this? Does anyone really think that a fringe organization poses a larger threat to the American people than a prominent one like Black Lives Matter? How many cities did the Boogaloo Boys terrorize compared to BLMers last summer? Sadly, the obvious is no longer obvious.
Labeled “domestic terrorists” by both DHS and ABC, the article leads with suggestive framing that the biggest concern of the Chauvin trial should be how white people react. Among other things, it states that “violence could occur with little or no warning” or that “some white supremacists have remarked online that the Chauvin trial may lead to a race war.” It both implies and states that these issues will come from white terror groups; Americans need to brace themselves for the same level of insurgency seen in the U.S. Capitol. But didn’t the Deep State finally admit it wasn’t an insurgency? Doesn’t matter.
Without a doubt, there will be violence immediately after the verdict is read, and America is absolutely headed toward a race war. Of course, the article does a fine job obfuscating the roots of both of those serious concerns. Violence will stem from black, not white, groups and the race war is being fomented by articles precisely like this one that conjure white supremacist threats out of thin air and ignore the very real danger posed by actual domestic terrorist organizations like Black Lives Matter.
The article eventually gets to that nugget, excusing any violence or mayhem that erupts from the left by nothing that “black separatists groups may target law enforcement officers or government facilities should Chauvin be acquitted, or if there is a mistrial, or if sentencing against Chauvin is perceived too lenient.” Got that? If the results don’t exactly go their way, then all hell will break loose.
A warm-up of sorts transpired this past week in Minneapolis’s neighboring community of Brooklyn Center, MN, gaining national attention as a result of its proximity to both the site of George Floyd’s death and now trial of the officers involved. After a traffic stop revealed that a driver had an outstanding warrant for arrest, a police officer ended up shooting the driver fatally after seemingly mistaking her sidearm for a taser. Both the video and audio from the body camera, released by the police department, bear this out. Indeed, the discharge of the officer’s weapon looks very much like an accident. Under normal circumstances, society would mourn the senseless loss of life, but would also understand that mistakes happen, especially when considering that a warrant for arrest and the ignoring of lawful officer commands necessitated such a mistake. It certainly wouldn’t rise to the level of national reporting or mass protests.
Predictably, though, the deceased was immediately labeled a victim of police brutality and large gatherings of people congregated at the site of his death, the city’s police station, and the commercial district. (His alleged Facebook page is replete with disgusting posts – so once again we see the elevation of the undeserving). No matter, soon the mass of unmitigated anger devolved into violence and looting. While many urban schools fail to produce literate graduates, there was apparently enough understanding to read the preordained script: Gather, yell, burn, attack, loot. Throughout all of it, there was plenty of destruction and theft caused by a pro-Black Lives Matter crowd but decidedly very little of either caused by people dressed in Hawaiian shirts or donning shaved heads.
When the country suffers from an actual race war, and of terror and destruction at the hands of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and other anarchists, news outlets like ABC will be directly responsible. If white supremacy were the worst thing Americans had to fear, I would say we were living in the golden age of peace and prosperity. As it stands, we live in a time of unbridled (and somehow justified) black rage, and that thought terrifies me.
The leftist media is doing everything they can to get a race war started....
White Supremacist
They keep saying that phrase.
I don’t think it means what they think it means.
I remember how CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta were swarmed and smashed by White Supremacists last May.
What will happen is - Daiper Joe’s puppet regime is going to get involved in a war somewhere, and their sudden pathetic appeals for patriotism and support from fly-over, red-state America will fall on deaf ears.
The DC elites can stoke burning cities, suppress constitutional rights, and call people “white supremacist” only so much before you lose their support.
"You provide the pictures, I'll provide the war."

Gather intelligence on the media - where they live, their routines and the like. Doxxing is very useful. And the left has made it legitimate.
If a war does get started in this country, and you don’t consider the press as enemy combatants, you don’t have any business fighting in it in the first place.
Warring Factions must make for good ratings for propaganda organizations.
What results do they expect?
I think it means, “My cell phone tells me what to think.”
(And yes, my name is Inigo Montoya)
ABC News pimping the replacement theory as well as the rest of the media they can’t hide their agenda its all a race baiting issue with them.
“Daiper Joe’s puppet regime is going to get involved in a war somewhere, and their sudden pathetic appeals for patriotism and support from fly-over, red-state America will fall on deaf ears.”
No truer words spoken today. There’s not much left of the US Constitution or American Free Enterprise. Folks my age would stand and defend this once great nation like the Alamo even knowing reinforcements arent coming. But the truth about the ‘reinforcements’ and the demographic changes do not make the loss of life or wealth worth it.
The business model has shifted away from live broadcasts whether over-the-air or via cable.
I guess as long as they remain an arm of (cough....receive funding, somehow...cough), from the DNC.
ABC is a hopeless mess at best. A Communist front organization at worst.
...to the Communist Establishment.
Oh Boy! ABC News has really gone south now. ABD News used to be a decent news outfit before they got pulled to the left by liberals. I used to enjoy listening to them. Now they are as bad as SNL or worse!
The bolsheviks are overplaying their hand. Anybody with a three digit IQ knows this.
FU ABC!
When the SHTF they are hoping they will be the last to get eaten.
