In the summer of 2020 it was the riot and protest beat. But the reporters cited and named - in what appear to be efforts to dox them before another long, hot summer of riots - actually do work a beat. Maybe that’s just too old-school and uncool these days. Of course, it’s entirely possible that The Intercept doesn’t know what it is to work a beat in the news biz. Key videos they used come from a tight-knit group of eight young journalists.Įight? Reporters? This is serious. In the year since George Floyd’s murder, conservative news outlets have endlessly hyped distorted stories about violence at Black Lives Matter protests. These “right-wing” media are blowing this way out of proportion, says The Intercept in 50-point font. Please exercise some of that proportionality because there’s an old lady in Dubuque who would like her reputation back after being labeled a Capitol terrorist when she stayed inside the velvet rope with a police escort on January 6th. ![]() You want proportionality? One riot in 300 years versus 300 riots in one year, as radio host Chris Plante put it. Capitol after the rioters would like a little of that. Are we supposed to be thankful that they didn’t all turn into riots or something? Thank you for not hurting us every time? The people walking into the U.S. The Intercept reports that - “Come on, maan” - sure, there may have been hundreds of riots with looting, destruction, and bodies, but there were lots of other protests that didn’t turn into riots.

It goes something like this: Oh, sure, they burned the cop shop, terrorized the neighbors, people died, and I couldn’t drive in those parts of the city for months, and I’m still afraid to go there, but was it really that bad? I mean, they didn’t terrorize the whole city or anything. This smacks of the same kind of excuses leftists in Seattle and Portland have been making about their pet rioters. The Intercept, in a piece called “ MEET THE RIOT SQUAD: RIGHT-WING REPORTERS WHOSE VIRAL VIDEOS ARE USED TO SMEAR BLM” in ALL CAPS IN 50-POINT FONT!!!! on the front of the website reports that Townhall’s Julio Rosas and other videographers who work for such publications as The Daily Caller and The Blaze “smeared” BLM with their coverage of the riots.
