Edit: Some people pointed out that “mass looting” is more or less propaganda. I edited the title to be accurate.
Newsweek isn’t accurate, in general. I thought it was newsworthy that there was a riot after the game, but maybe I should not be feeding into a right-wing mythology about “lawless left-wing cities,” which this story pretty definitely is doing.
Also looks like a “news” reporting outlet that likes to over-report on every crime that occurs in a large city.
I saw news week and I knew there was no reason to give this headline any credibility. Does “media bias checker bot” not do the right wing?
Also won’t be surprised to see other news outlets “pick up” on this because of the obvious built in virality that right wing reporting has inherent to it these days (see right wing posts doing 10;1 better than left since musk take over of Twitter)
This whole thing reeks, and I’m sad that I’ll be a conspiracy of very few when in the past this would have conspiracy idiots all over it.
