The Deep State has done its best to portray Black Lives Matter as a moderate movement.  Wikipedia describes BLM as “a decentralized political and social movement protesting against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people.”  Wikipedia says its loose structure has contributed to confusion in the press.  The confusion is convenient because it allows BLM to disavow any comments by its members the public finds offensive.  Wikipedia claims BLM, “protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful; when violence does occur, it is often committed by police or by counter-protestors.  Despite this, opponents have falsely portrayed the movement as violent.”  House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer doesn’t “accept” the premise that Antifa and BLM are violent.  ABC’s Sunny Hostin maintains that violent protests are “manufactured by the Trump campaign.”  All branches of the Deep State assert that BLM is a respectable non-violent movement.

I leave it to you to decide why, from the Trayvon Martin case to the George Floyd case, the media has so consistently misrepresented the facts. Whether it is that unskilled reporters are covering these matters, or that the press is simply looking to attract consumers with florid tales, or that the media looks forward to destroying urban areas with false tales of murderous white racists (amid a shortage of real ones), I cannot say. But it was shocking to me to get letters from heads of very good independent schools who had bought completely into the initial media accounts of an out-of-control white cop deliberately murdering a black suspect in his custody. It occurred to me then that if people like these could be sold the false narrative, officer Derek Chauvin was surely in for a judicial lynching.
