Fox News spliced together different photos to accompany pieces on the Seattle protests and Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), making the scenes look much more violent and destructive than they are.
âMr. President, itâs been proven that Fox News edited photos about the protests to show them as more violent than they actually were. Are you going to call them out as âfake newsâ?â
âI havenât seen those photosâŚwait, why is everyone laughing?â
This is a coordinated effort, to scare white voters. Fox news blowing things out of proportion, the Antifa scares, the complicity of the police departments (see columbus OH) they are trying to paint a picture of total chaos that only a tough law and order guy like Trump can save them, by bringing the military to âdominateâ the cities. They are setting the conditions for a self-coup, with all the patriotic, christians cheering.
That is actually the original photo posted by Getty images. Itâs real. Whatâs cloned in the car is where someone took out the Getty images watermark. Someone stole this from Getty and photoshpoped out the watermark. This IS the photo that was used as the source for the armed protester to use in other photoshopped photos but this one is correct (other than someone taking the watermark out)
Remember folks, the commander in chief of the United States gets his âdaily briefingâ from Fox News. He doesnât read and rarely listens to the people from our intelligence community who are skilled at separating propaganda from real news.
Yes, thatâs where someone took the Getty Images watermark out. Look at the two pictures (yours and the one I link at Getty), thatâs where the watermark should be. Whomever is the source for the photo you are linking just stole it from the Getty Images website and photoshopped the watermark off. Thatâs what you are seeing, the artifacts of removing the watermark.
We need to be accurate about this. The photos FOX photoshopped shouldnât be lumped in with photos they didnât since any inaccuracies in leftist criticism will be used to discredit the complaint. What FOX did clearly stands out, we donât need to muddy the waters ourselves.
I live in Seattle, although north of this neighborhood. I do not know why the East precinct became such a flash point for both demonstrators and SPD. It seems to me had they been allowed to march past or around it, things would not have devolved. Residents and businesses in that neighborhood will eventually grow weary of the situation or the group will pick up and move once the weather becomes wetter and colder or the kids get bored. Right now the area has more of a street fair vibe to it than an insurrection. What Fox did was not journalism but propaganda and disinformation.
This needs to be called out hard, letting it go is not an option anymore. FOX News is manufacturing a very dangerous narrative using lies. FOX News is lying to itâs viewers to make them fear other Americans. Whenever any other news source makes a mistake conservatives will scream until something happens. Well itâs Dems turn. Dem politicians need to step up here and call this out (and yea, it need to be politicians since their words garner media attention regular critics donât)
