The Left’s Weaponization of Journalism

The media’s coverage of the Tacoma ICE facility shooting demonstrates why they deserve the “fake news” moniker.

“I regret that I will miss the rest of the revolution. Doing what I can to help defend my precious and wondrous people is an experience too rich to describe. I am Antifa,” wrote Willem Van Spronsen.

Given Van Spronsen’s unambiguous, self-proclaimed association with Antifa and his history of activism on behalf of the group, his motivation for attempting to carry out a violent, presumably murderous act against the staff at an immigrant detention facility in Tacoma, Washington was clear.

“I am Antifa” leaves little room for debate.

CNN, however, interprets these three incriminating words differently:

“The motive behind the armed man’s pre-dawn attack is unclear.”

Other establishment media outlets kept their coverage vague, omitting Van Spronsen’s well-documented connections to Antifa: The Washington Post entitled their report, “Armed man killed during attack on ICE detention center, police say”.

The New York Times wrote, “Man Attacking ICE Detention Center Is Fatally Shot by the Police”.  .  .  .

Journalism schools now generate propaganda artists who devote their careers pushing a leftist agenda.  'Journalism' as a profession is now dead.
