And what’s he doing staying in a tent? I thought BLM was better funded than that. :ohno:
He's probably just a homeless guy with mental health issuers (there are a lot of homeless encampments along and near I-205) and not active in Antifa or BLM. Trying to tie him to Antifa/BLM appears to be fear-mongering.
Agree on all accounts.

I wasn't trying to imply that he was part of Antifa/BLM. Before 2020 I would of read the articles and never thought twice about assuming he had mental health issues, now I don't assume as much but in this case I think it is safe to say that the only thing he is guilty of is trying to set fires.

I’m not slipping. Cit should try grabbing another source.
The source appears to be legit. Not sure why you got a warning.

We can't trust the media when they report something negative about Trump. Their reporting is above reproach if it could be spun to be negative about Biden or Harris.

We're going to need a new term - I'm not sure if that term has the racist connotations it sounds like it does, but even if it doesn't it just sounds bad and that's enough these days to make something verboten (crap, can I even use the word verboten?). How about just mediocre journalism? Too real?

Didn't it have more to do with sensationalism?

It did. William Randolph Hurst comes to mind.

So far I've only got Conservative treehouse, Twitter and Youtube.

Oregon voters say Portland protests now do more harm than good, new poll says
poll respondents were bipartisan in their condemnation of how Trump, Brown and Wheeler have handled the protests. They heaped the most scorn on Trump, a Republican who lost Oregon handily in the 2016 election and has never been popular in the state. All told, 59% disapproved of how the president dealt with the protests, with 51% saying they strongly rejected his actions. The Trump administration sent a large contingent of federal law enforcement officers into the state in July to guard the federal courthouse and other U.S. government facilities in Portland, a move that wound up swelling the number of protesters instead of tamping demonstrations down.

Meanwhile, 58% disapproved of Wheeler’s performance and 56% gave negative marks to Brown. However, in each case, the percentage of those who strongly opposed the governor’s and mayor’s actions were noticeably lower than for Trump. Wheeler and Brown are both Democrats.

You really can't distinguish between Youtube/Twitter and the many accounts on those platforms?

BTW, Twitter and Youtube routinely censor conservative and politically incorrect content.

Ah, so unless the MSM reports it, it didn't happen. I get it now. All of those videos are just racist CGI and Andy Ngo is a fiction writer.

It's only real if Don Lemon, Rachel Maddow, the NYT, or WaPo report it. Thanks for the enlightenment, shit-for-brains.

I’ve bashed establishment media as much as the next guy, ween licker. Skepticism of all is healthy. Multiple sources and large scale journalistic processes from fact checking to editing, to legal teams, and all the other resources, when covering stories of national interest have their place too.
