For those just catching up: The media have been spreading misinformation as part of their campaign to suppress unauthorized opinion

cc @JoeNBC
@JoeNBC The media have alternatively claimed rioters beat a cop to death with a fire extinguisher and an American flag — neither of which we now know is true.

Meanwhile, as the likes of @AOC stirred up anti-police activism, an ex-cop was murdered during a BLM protest in STL ...
@JoeNBC @AOC Two LAPD officers were ambushed ...
@JoeNBC @AOC Two Louisville cops were shot during the Breonna Taylor protests nbcnews.com/news/us-news/g…
@JoeNBC @AOC A BLM activist murdered five cops in Dallas in 2016 nbcnews.com/storyline/dall…
@JoeNBC @AOC There are dozens more, and everyone’s already forgotten them. Why? They don’t serve the media’s preferred narrative.

Then again, neither does the death of Officer Sicknick. But that hasn’t stopped them from exploiting it.

Media: So funny, Trump’s such a pussy!

Media: My God, these terrorists have literally ended democracy as we know it
.@jimmykimmel on June 3, 2020: "Mr. Tough Guy was whisked into a panic bunker on Friday, as crowds assembled outside the White House. It took three and a half years, but he finally got a massive crowd to show up for him in D.C."
@jimmykimmel .@jimmyfallon on June 5, 2020: "Right now, the only thing lower than Trump’s approval rating is his underground bunker."

.@Axios, reporting (?) on how America can “deprogram” Trump’s “extremist” supporters, suggests expanding cancel culture axios.com/newsletters/ax…
@axios Do these people not realize they’re demanding totalitarian thought control?
@axios We just need "an all-out national effort to dismantle” sources of ideas that "undermine faith” in “democracy”; private companies "must be unwavering in their commitment” to this cause.

Standby for an angry rant about how hard @Apple sucks since @tim_cook over. Purely from a consumer perspective. I’ve spent way too much money on Apple products, including almost 1,500 on an iPhone 12 Pro, which was absolutely the worst waste of money in my life
@Apple @tim_cook Here are about 50 things that drive me crazy while attempting to use my iPhone/other Apple products …
@Apple @tim_cook — ungrammatically changing the plural of a day to a possessive. I love Fridays always becomes I love Friday’s, which I absolutely do not.

As expected, CBS used this interview exclusively to attack Republicans, not once questioning AOC for embellishing her story. Actual journalism was carefully avoided.
.@GayleKing to @AOC: "To hear your very terrifying account of that horrible day, was in a word terrifying .. I wonder if it’s triggered all sorts of things for you. I think sometimes when you speak it, you’re reliving it again. I’m wondering what the experience has been for you?”

.@NYGovCuomo is responding to the AG’s report on his covering up nursing home deaths in New York by … attacking Republicans & the Capitol Hill riot
@NYGovCuomo Cuomo on the AG report: “Where this starts is, frankly, a political attack from the prior administration HHS. Their great spokesperson, @MarcACaputo, who is a Roger Stone protege, who said we have more nursing home deaths in New York b/c of something the state health dept did."
@NYGovCuomo @MarcACaputo Cuomo on nursing home deaths: “Who cares [where they died]? They died!”
