The recent riots in Los Angeles have shone a glaring spotlight on the media's blatant disregard for the truth when it comes to President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline.
The coverage of these riots, with the media downplaying the violence and trying to paint a picture of "largely peaceful protests," demonstrates just how far the mainstream media will go to protect the Biden administration.
This isn't a simple case of journalistic oversight or a "miss" on their part — it's a calculated attempt to spin a narrative that suits their political agenda, ignoring the chaos unfolding in real-time and misrepresenting the facts.
As someone who has long advocated for truth in journalism and transparency, it's infuriating to watch how the media have completely disregarded the overwhelming evidence of the severity of the Los Angeles riots.
While photo and video evidence of destruction, violence, and chaos are readily available, the media have gone out of their way to downplay what happened.
From cars being set on fire to rioters attacking law enforcement officers with chunks of concrete, the images are too striking to ignore. Yet, the media, especially the outlets with ties to the left, continue to undermine the gravity of the situation, creating a distorted version of events.
This denial of reality is part of a much larger issue — an issue that goes beyond the riots themselves and points directly to the media’s refusal to acknowledge the growing problems within the Biden administration.
The coverage of these riots has not only been misleading but also intentionally deceptive, aimed at diverting attention from the failure of Biden’s leadership and policies.
It's clear that the media’s efforts are not about presenting facts — they are trying to protect Biden from the harsh truths that millions of Americans already know.
The timeline of events during the Los Angeles riots is clear and undeniable. It began on June 6, when violence first erupted, and quickly escalated from there. Rioters clashed with federal officers, and the city of Los Angeles had to deploy tear gas and crowd control methods to regain some level of order.
Within hours, a declaration of unlawful assembly was made, and shortly afterward, a citywide tactical alert was issued, signaling a heightened state of emergency.
However, it wasn’t until after two days of escalating violence — and only after President Donald Trump called up the National Guard on June 8 — that the situation began to be brought under control.
Trump’s decisive action in deploying federal resources, including the U.S. Marines, was instrumental in protecting federal properties and ensuring the safety of law enforcement officers.
Yet, the media are attempting to frame this timeline in such a way as to downplay Trump’s leadership and suggest that the National Guard was a “response” to something Trump allegedly triggered.
This narrative is completely false. The violence had already started well before Trump deployed any troops. The media’s portrayal of these events is not an oversight — it's a deliberate attempt to rewrite history and frame the narrative in favor of Biden’s administration.
In their eyes, Trump’s actions — which were aimed at protecting American citizens and property — are somehow being misrepresented as an escalation that he himself caused. This distortion is nothing short of dishonest.
On June 10, as Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass imposed a curfew and declared a local emergency, media outlets such as PBS and ABC News attempted to minimize the situation.
PBS reported that the scene had been "pretty quiet" and "almost festival-like," while ABC News praised the rioters for their supposed "self-policing" efforts.
This starkly contrasts with the shocking footage of violence, including protesters hurling cinder blocks from an overpass onto officers, leaving one officer seriously injured.
Why would the media go to such lengths to mislead the American public? The answer lies in the failure of President Biden and the administration he leads.
Biden’s physical and mental decline is becoming more and more evident, and the media are desperate to distract from this reality. For months, they have portrayed Biden as sharp and focused, but the evidence of his deterioration is undeniable.
The media, in their attempt to protect him, are attempting to rewrite history by minimizing the seriousness of events like the LA riots.
While some outlets focused on the limited scope of the protests, claiming they were concentrated in a small section of downtown LA, they completely ignored the larger narrative.
They glossed over the chaos that had already engulfed the city and tried to redirect attention away from the violence that continued even after the curfew was imposed.
Instead of calling attention to the escalating violence, they were too busy downplaying the events in an effort to deflect from Biden’s inadequacies.
At the same time, the media have taken to demonizing anyone who questions their narrative. The New York Times, for example, published an article that focused on “fake images and conspiracy theories” swirling around the riots.
The article went on to accuse those who questioned the media’s portrayal of the riots of spreading misinformation, while conveniently ignoring the blatant lies being propagated by the media themselves.
They attempted to discredit viral images of bricks allegedly being staged for the rioters, painting them as part of a "right-wing" conspiracy without addressing the real concerns many Americans had about the media's dishonest reporting.
Even more laughable was the response from CNN’s Brian Stelter, who tried to downplay the severity of the riots by claiming that most Angelenos were having a “perfectly normal day” while the violence raged.
His attempt to distract the public from the destruction unfolding in the city was shameful, as it only served to perpetuate the lie that things were under control when, in fact, they were not.
The fact remains that these riots — like so many other issues — are a direct result of the failure of leadership under Joe Biden. His administration’s inability to handle the crisis at the southern border, the continued rise in crime, and now the handling of domestic unrest has put the country in a precarious position. Instead of acknowledging the failure of his policies, the media have chosen to cover for Biden by distracting from the truth.
We see this dynamic play out not only in the coverage of the LA riots but also in other areas, such as the Afghanistan withdrawal and the ongoing issues with inflation and the economy.
The media are doing everything in their power to prop up Biden, all while ignoring the consequences of his actions. They’ve tried to convince the American people that he’s competent and capable, even when it’s clear that his presidency has been marked by a series of missteps and failures.
The American people deserve better than a media that selectively chooses to report the facts and a president whose cognitive abilities are increasingly in question.
The media’s treatment of the LA riots and their continued defense of Biden are just the latest examples of how they manipulate the truth to protect their preferred narrative.
The media’s decision to downplay the seriousness of the LA riots is not only dishonest but dangerous. It perpetuates a false sense of security and allows the chaos to continue unchecked.
By dismissing the violence and focusing on trivial distractions, the media fail to hold the Biden administration accountable for its lack of leadership.
They embolden those who engage in lawless behavior by suggesting that their actions are justified or that the real problem lies with those who are calling for law and order.
Furthermore, this selective reporting damages the public’s trust in the media. When outlets like The New York Times, ABC, and CNN continue to spin events in favor of the Biden administration, they undermine their credibility and contribute to the erosion of public trust in the media.
People see the discrepancies, they hear the contradictions, and they begin to question the narrative that is being presented to them. This only fuels further division and discontent in the country.
The Biden administration’s failures — including the handling of domestic unrest, rising crime, and economic struggles — cannot be ignored or swept under the rug.
The media’s attempts to protect Biden by covering up the truth only hurt the American people and make it harder to address the root causes of these issues.
The Los Angeles riots and the media’s coverage of them highlight a disturbing trend of dishonesty and manipulation. The media have shown time and time again that they are more interested in protecting Biden’s image than reporting the truth.
From downplaying the violence to twisting the timeline of events, the media have made it clear that their allegiance lies not with the American people but with the political elite they seek to protect.
As citizens, we must demand better. We must insist on truth, transparency, and accountability from both our media and our leaders. It’s time to recognize the failure of the Biden administration and stop allowing the media to cover it up.
The American people deserve a media that tells the truth, a president who leads with integrity, and a country that holds both accountable for the future of this nation.
