It seems that last week, there was a riot. Other sources called it an insurrection. A threat to democracy.
Some of us wondered if, after the riots last summer, when cities burned, if the AP had suddenly found a riot that they liked. Tongue-in-cheek, we wondered why when cities were buring acorss the country, literally on fire, they were called protests, and when other folks broke intothe Capitol and stole the Speaker's podium, that was a riot.
Well, they cleared it up for us.
Uh oh. Here we go. Reporters apparently need to be careful when using the word riot if there’s any chance that non-White people might be involved.
So, let me get this straight. IF a bunch of rowdy white folks get together and steal the Speaker's podium, that's a riot. Or an insurrection, but if a bunch of non-white people get together and burn down a police station, that's a "mostly-peaceful" protest:.
Got it. Only white folks can riot under the AP Style book.
And they wonder why we laugh at them. The Emperor has no clothes.
We live in the Soviet Union 2.0 . You can't believe anything that the "news" media says. They are 100% controlled by the One-party republicrats. Right is wrong, black is white, evil is good, up is down, Patriotism is treason. You get it.
