Headline #1 on the NY Times digital front page yesterday:
Headline #2 on the NY Times digital jump page where the story actually resides:
So...
Is it possible that the fine folks running the Grey Lady show are counting on the fact that a certain someone never looks past page 1?
Here's the lede of the actual story by Neil MacFarquhar, Alan Feuer an Adam Goldman:
Inciting a riot. Hurling a Molotov cocktail. Plotting to sow destruction. Those are some of the most serious charges brought by federal prosecutors against demonstrators at protests across the country in recent weeks.
But despite cries from President Trump and others in his administration, none of those charged with serious federal crimes amid the unrest have been linked so far to the loose collective of anti-fascist activists known as antifa.
A review of the arrests of dozens of people on federal charges reveals no known effort by antifa to perpetrate a coordinated campaign of violence. Some criminal complaints described vague, anti-government political leanings among suspects, but a majority of the violent acts that have taken place at protests have been attributed by federal prosecutors to individuals with no affiliation to any particular group...
And just in case you missed it in the radio silence, there is also this deeply buried bit actual, you know, evidence of organized efforts at plotting to foment violent unrest:
...The most serious case that has emerged in federal court involved three men in Nevada linked to a loose, national network of far-right extremists advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government. They were arrested on May 30 on charges of trying to foment violence during Black Lives Matter protests...

Fox “News” doesn’t worry about the headlines- it fakes the whole story.

Oh Boy.
Thanks for heads-up Lew.

the real crime, as the results of the protests, is the NYPD Commissioner keeping people in COVID infested jails longer than they needed to be, as in refusing to permit them to get to court. They have the orders he sent out.
The press likes to refer to these protests as "riots". Makes the right wing politicians happier. Having watched any number of these Protests, concluded our Vancouver Hockey Riots were worse than the American protests. The real bad behaviour in the protests was on the part of the police.
The Vancouver Hockey Riot in 1994, had more damage, more looting, without any real reason than any of the protests in the U.S.A. There was one law suit and it was dismissed.
the next good hockey riot was in a I believe 2011. Lot of damage, but again, it was worse than what we're seeing in the way of protests in the U.S.A.
The term riots always conjures up an image of violence, out of control crowds, anti social behaviour, etc. and that is what the politicians, msm, and police want. Its good for their optics. Its how they get bigger budgets for more equipment to kill more Americans.
