A great deal of effort is being used to maintain the claim that protests are peaceful. If an article begins with "The earth is flat," how many people will continue reading? The reader might conclude that it would be a waste of time and that the author has some serious problems.
Credibility is paramount. Propagandists know that every story must have at least a kernel of truth. Progressives appear to be ignoring this axiom.
When MSNBC's Ali Velshi claims,
"I want to be clear on how I characterize this. This is a mostly a
protest. It is not generally speaking unruly," with fires raging behind
him, he has no credibility. Ellen Rosenblum, the Oregon attorney general, claims that the riots in Portland were "perfectly peaceful." When Representative Jerry Nadler claims
rioting in Portland is a myth he has destroyed his credibility.

has done its best to discredit a report that is unfavorable for the
"peaceful protesters." ....... Snopes concludes, "Because the Fire Department and the police chief provided different versions of events for reasons yet unknown to us, we rate this clam 'Unproven.'" Many situations can be labeled fake news if every "t" is not crossed and every "i" not dotted.
The bottom line of this story is that there was a house fire. There was a child in the house, and rioters attempted to block the fire department from reaching the fire. I determined that Snopes did not prove its case because it concluded "this clam 'Unproven.'" Where did this claim come from?.............To Read More...
