       “Riots Raging”: The *Misleading* Story #FoxNews Told About #Portland Before Trump Sent #TroopsWhen #Trump told reporters on Sept 5 he’d started looking at sending the #NationalGuard to Portland, #Oregon, he said it was because of something he saw on TV.He said the city was being destroyed by paid agitators. “What they’ve done to that place, it’s like living in hell,” he said….#law #immigration #Constitution #RightToProtest #fascism #MilitaryState #PosseComitatusAct https://www.propublica.org/article/portland-protests-national-guard-fox-news-coverage

       #Trump didn’t say which channel he watched; he said at one point he saw something “today” & at another “last night.”The evening before, on Sept 4, #FoxNews aired a 2½ minute segment spotlighting protests outside an #ICE field office in #Portland. Similar footage aired the morning of Trump’s remarks. The president went on to announce Sept 27 on Truth Social that he would send #troops, saying that he was “authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”#media #propaganda #law #immigration #Protest

       #Trump later said he’d told #Oregon’s governor, Tina Kotek, that “unless they’re playing false tapes, this looked like World War II. Your place is burning down.”ProPublica examined months of #FoxNews’ coverage & reviewed >700 video clips posted to social media by #protesters, counterprotesters & others in the 3 months preceding the Sept 4 broadcast.The review found that the “news” network repeatedly provided a “misleading” picture of what was happening in #Portland.#media #propaganda #law

       As The Guardian & The Oregonian/OregonLive have reported, #FoxNews on Sept 4 used footage from the 2020 protests after the police killing of #GeorgeFloyd & said it was from 2025. Propublica found 2 clear cases from that night as well as 1 that seemed to match a scene filmed at a key site of the 2020 protests. Fox also “mislabeled” 2 other dates of actions shown on screen, & 1 broadcast implied that a protest from elsewhere was happening in Portland.#media #propaganda #law #Trump #MediaLiteracy

       @Nonilex #FoxNews   is not news.  It’s rumour, gossip and lies. Don’t waste your time.

       @Nonilex So, Trump, at the head of the US government, who can get actual real information about what is going on in any place in the US within minutes - relies on news reports to make decisions?I mean, is that every way bonkers or what.
