Mollie Hemingway: Media is Gaslighting the Public Over LA Riots Just Like They Did With Joe Biden (VIDEO)
Gateway Pundit, ^ | Jun. 10, 2025 | Mike LaChance

Liberals in cable and network news are lying to the public about the Los Angeles riots and related unrest. They are going on TV every day and telling the public not to believe what they see and hear with their own eyes and ears.

Does this feel familiar? It should, because it’s the exact same thing they did with Joe Biden for years. Just a few weeks ago, Jake Tapper and other media liberals were telling us that they just somehow ‘missed the story’ of Biden’s mental decline, after insisting there was nothing wrong with him.

During an appearance on FOX News today, Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist pointed this out, using the New York Times as one example of this. Her point obviously extends to multiple media outlets.

...

The New York Times is telling people, ‘Do not believe your lying eyes; believe us, the people who spread the Russia collusion hoax, who spread conspiracy theories about Brett Kavanaugh. Believe us when we tell you that what you see on video from firsthand accounts isn’t real,’” said Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway during an appearance on Fox News’ Outnumbered.

“This is just weeks after they’ve all said, ‘Oh, we did such a bad job with Joe Biden, when we said that what you saw with your own eyes was a cheap fake.’ And what are they doing yet again but saying this is a cheap fake.”

...

The people in media who are engaging in this are absolutely crazy if they think the public doesn’t see right through it. You can only fool people so many times before they understand the con.

Media is perhaps attempting to gaslight. No one buys it.

Even people who like that kind of politics don't buy it.
They repeat the Democrat Party line as a loyalty test.

Better headline: Media disseminate the Democrat Party line to the faithful.

Back in the day the media could do this, a few locals knew the difference but they had no voice.

NOW, everyone has a video recorder and can stream it live onto the www as it happens, and the main stream media will not acknowledge that fact. And that fact alone will one day sink them if they do not start showing the full picture.

Our local TV stations covered the protests by about eight assorted misfits. They were careful to zoom in and keep a tight shot to avoid showing how pitifully small their protest was. And, of course, they failed to ask the misfits how much george soros pays them per hour.

Someone, maybe it was Mark Twain or maybe it was H.L. Menkin, said that everything you read in the papers is true, unless you were there.

The enemedia will be parroting “no kings” this week and through the month. Their new buzz phrase. It will fail.
DemocRATS are on the side of the criminal enterprise they created.

Influential men in Mollie’s church group analogized Trump to Hitler repeatedly. There are a few in that group that are not scared to advocate for civil society, like Mollie. But most, and the leaders, are silent. The church in general has a problem with poor attendance by men. I wonder if the church’s chickenshit attitude helps.

It resonates about as well as no oligarchs.

Bottom line, LA is about as peaceful as Biden is lucid.

“”They are going on TV every day and telling the public not to believe what they see and hear with their own eyes and ears.””

We’re not to believe what we see/hear? Then they just solved the problem for us. DO NOT WATCH THEIR NEWS SHOWS! Thanks for the tip - we don’t have a problem with that.

What are you talking about (”...Mollie’s church group analogized Trump to Hitler repeatedly”)? I believe she is a member of a congregation of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod; I am a pastor in that church body and I find it hard to believe what you write is true.
