This is the propaganda we are up against. To quote someone at patriots.win, "Zero people were killed by Trump supporters at the Capitol. The only person that didn’t die from a medical condition that week was shot by a DC cop and that cop has never even been questioned why he killed a visibly unarmed women. Yet Biden’s DOJ is working overtime to incarcerate Trump supporters." It's a crazy world where Glenn Greenwald is the one of the few people correcting the record on this story.

quote:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Since the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies have pushed false and misleading accounts to downplay the event that left five dead and scores of others wounded. His supporters appear to have listened.

Three months after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol to try to overturn his November election loss, about half of Republicans believe the siege was largely a non-violent protest or was the handiwork of left-wing activists “trying to make Trump look bad,” a new Reuters/Ipsos poll has found.

Six in 10 Republicans also believe the false claim put out by Trump that November’s presidential election “was stolen” from him due to widespread voter fraud, and the same proportion of Republicans think he should run again in 2024, the March 30-31 poll showed.

Since the Capitol attack, Trump, many of his allies within the Republican Party and right-wing media personalities have publicly painted a picture of the day’s events jarringly at odds with reality.

nope, no bias there at all

I would imagine the Chinese press published something very similar about the Hong Kong protests last year.

It's really sad how far outside of reality republicans have gone. They can't be trusted to govern anything because they are in capable of understanding reality.

Since the Jan. 6 protests at the U.S. Capitol, Democrats and their media allies have pushed false and misleading accounts to overplay the event that showed a guided tour and left a window broken. Their supporters appear to have listened.


That was easy.

They should do a poll on how many liberals believe it was an armed insurrection with any intention to occupy and govern Washington.

The worst thing about progressives is possession of absolutely zero self awareness.

No kidding. The failure of conservatism is to believe that most people are rational.

Absolutely. A reporter sitting in Seattle Or New York, regurgitating talking points from the left is a much more accurate account of events.

There was an attack last week where the Capitol police officer died in the scene....if got 5 min of coverage, whereas the “insurrection” has received 24-7 coverage for months.

For all the people there and all the people who weren’t shooting innocent unarmed women, it was a mostly peaceful protest.

Did anything get set on fire , like CNN showed @ a BLM riot? Or like the leftist who tried to burn down the DC church? Nope.

More people died due to a Muslim attack on the capitol last week than died due to a Trump supporter attack on January 6.

Friendly reminder that, for THREE YEARS, you could question or make up whatever the frick you wanted about the legitimacy of Trump's win in 2016.

And you could do this anywhere you wanted; social media, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, any major newspaper, college classrooms, etc.

These people have zero fricking hill to stand on to accuse others of spreading misinformation.

We don't trust you anymore. NOT AT ALL. Sorry, but that's a reality that you're going to have to learn to deal with. Start telling the truth. Stop trying to rig and stack every game in your favor. Stop gaslighting us and we might start to listen to you again. Small Lies and Big Lies are no different. The one makes the other possible.

Speaking of believing false accounts...


quote:

A homicide investigation was opened on Friday into the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died from head injuries sustained while defending the U.S. Capitol from a mob of President Donald Trump’s loyalists.

quote:

Sicknick, who joined the Capitol Police in 2008, was struck in the head by a fire extinguisher while fighting off rioters, according to the New York Times.
