The collage was comprised of several photos, all of which were taken in Seattle at different times and on different days, obviously.



Fox's "apology" wasn't for running "fake news", but rather essentially that they didn't run a byline under the image saying "this is a picture collage, containing several images of the chaos."

Or do you want to argue that there wasn't burning, looting, rioting, and people armed with machine guns in the CHAZ?

The collage would be fitting if the article was about the protests in its entirety throughout Seattle, but it wasn't. It was specifically about the CHAZ and two of the images used in the collage happened on a different day in a completely different part of Seattle outside of the CHAZ, which makes it inaccurate reporting.

Again, I'm not trying to argue that CHAZ wasn't a complete clusterfuck. It was (as the rest of my comment you cut out showed). But only one of those three images are actually from the CHAZ, so my beef is with being accurate, rather than making any sort of argument about the CHAZ.

Also, no comment on Fox News trying to pass an image from MN as one from the CHAZ? Seems like a pretty obvious example of bad reporting.


The Fox News homepage on June 11 displayed an image from May 30 protests in St. Paul, Minnesota, to illustrate a story about Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.

Quote:Just don't come in with some mealy-mouthed "both sides" argument. Oh well, it sucked but Fox News/Drumpf...

Left-wingers are in the streets burning, looting, rioting, and murdering, and it doesn't have a goddamn thing to do with fucking Fox News or the Bad Orange Man. Have the nuts to condemn it and stop trying to both sides the argument. Fox News doesn't have shit to do with it. It's a weasel comment of the type moral cowards use.

I don't really disagree with anything you've said about the leftist induced riots. They've gotten completely out of hand, and they've been inaccurately reported by both sides of the media. It's not like those two facts can't simultaneously exist.

And what? Just because CNN produces really dumb and far-reaching news suddenly means we can't talk about inaccurate reporting by Fox News? That's silly logic. I mean you yourself said that you hate Fox News, so I don't really get what your problem is.

Also, since we're on the topic of weasely/cowardly behavior, no comment on altering my comment to pin me as making an argument that I'm not actually making?
