This is why I voted for Trump

Lie number one: Trump tried to preserve monuments of the confederacy AND the legacy of white domination. I guess you ‘forgot’ the mention the second part. Trump’s concern was the ‘racial justice’ crowd was going to turn their attention to other monuments.
And guess what happened.
Lie number two: Trump denounced the ‘racial justice movement’; it was never mentioned.
Fail.
Hold on a second here. How do you define "talking head"? A lot of supposed news articles will slant things in the word choices and phrases they use. Editorializing the news is a pretty common thing at this point.
Here's an example: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/14/us/rayshard-brooks-atlanta-shooting/index.html
The entire article is written with the intent of garnering sympathy for Brooks. The pictures are also there for that purpose. No mention of Brooks trying to tase a police officer is there, nor is his history of domestic abuse against his family.
It may not be technically an editorial article, but the slant is obvious, particularly with regard to the facts that are left out.
When racist is defined as anyone who is accused as such, no matter how baseless the accusation is, the lynch mob doesn't really have any discernible boundaries to what they will label as such. Just being white is often enough.
1) it is a Chinese virus
2) If the NASCAR situation wasn't a hoax, it was certainly a ridiculous mistake on the part of the organization.
As if BLM and the blame whitey agenda isn't divisive....

lol, I am white, that is not the how I measure racism. I measure it by words and actions. You words have shown me you are a racists. Trump’s action and words have shown me he is a supporter of racists.
And when this term is used so loosely, it's meaningless in the context of a political forum. Throw out whatever slander you like, but it won't go anywhere in a debate.

It is divisive. How does that absolve the President of the United States from acting like a bunch of citizens in the streets? Are you really defending our nation's leaders lowering themselves to the gutter?
They aren’t our president. They are an organization that highlights and protest inequality of the system against Blacks, therein lies the difference.
You are a racist who doesn't know that "a racists" is third grade grammar.

Orange man IS bad, anatta.
He's the worst President we've ever had, and the worst we ever will have. He has failed America during some of the worst crisis situations we have faced in a generation.
Again, sorry for your reading problem.
"The radical ideology attacking our country advances under the banner of social justice"
If you want to play a word game and pretend this isn't about 'racial' social justice, then you can go play with yourself. That's something you seem to be very good at. If this is what you claim is the dishonesty of the media, you are making mountains out of molehills. You are playing the gotcha game. It's boring.
It isn’t used loosely, those I call racists are indeed racists.
Fair point, but we are not discussing 'slant'. The origin of this conversation was a complaint about labeling groups. You want to move the goalposts.

WashPO is playing word games/lying and you’re defending them because you have TDS.
What does the phrase ‘under the banner’ mean to you? Saying a movement was ‘hijacked’ has the same meaning. Or are you implying that all of those morons out looting, rioting, assaulting innocent people, destroying property and etc, all belong to the ‘racial justice movement’.
Speaking of word games: ‘racial justice movement’, what the hell does that mean anyway? What happened to the ‘civil rights movement’? What did the civil rights movement require rebranding? Is it because MLK would no longer approve of it? Cause him to roll over in his grave?
What would MLK have to say about the ‘racial justice movement’ if he was around today? Would MLK approve of their tactics? Or would he say something similar to what Trump said about ‘radical view of American history being taught in schools’?
I think the answer is clear.
A major pandemic, a destroyed economy and race riots all at the same time. You must be so proud.
Trump is a racist and is divisive. BLM is correct. The fact is throughout our lifetimes, blacks have been treated as chaff. The cops have beaten them and killed them. Their lives do not matter. The cops have jailed them and looted them. It seems blacks have had enough. Rightys think the people cops beat and kill, should respond without violence. Cops first. Then we will have conversations.
Instead of dealing with the police problem, Trump is using BLM as a cudgel and beating red voters over their heads with it and fear. Trump uses fear .
