In 2020 American journalism lost all its’ integrity. They touted ideology instead of telling the truth. With the cameras rolling and buildings burning, reporters stood in front of the anarchy while calling it a mostly peaceful protest. Liberals sent copious amounts of money to bail out these arsonists because they believed it would change the power in Washington. The press believed the American people were stupid and that their lies would be believed. It worked and a leftist president was elected. Still, the damage was done, and the press lost credibility. Trust fund babies used social media and continued their assault on police and society knowing mommy and daddy’s lawyers would bail them out. They rebelled against the capitalist society responsible for their easy lives. The press reported that on January sixth a violent insurrection occurred at the Capital building, and that several police officers were killed in the line of duty. Later the country would learn that too was a lie. Only one person died at the capital, and she was a protester named Ashley Babbitt. Later, the news would revise their claim. They reported that only one police officer was killed and that he was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher, but internal video showed the officer alive and well. It would come to light that he died at home the next day of a stroke. The media may never recover from their activism.
