The Media Isn’t Covering the Chaos. It’s Creating It.
The Media's guide to "WATCHING" the LA Riots.
If you’re wondering why cities keep catching fire while half the country pretends it’s a block party, look no further than your TV remote.
The corporate media isn’t here to inform you. They’re here to program you.
Because conflict isn’t a crisis to them. It’s a business model.
Conflict Pays, Peace Doesn’t
Here’s the dirty secret: fear sells. Rage sells. Tribalism sells. And nothing feeds the beast quite like a fresh round of riots dressed up as “social justice.”
When ICE arrests 100s of wanted criminals in Los Angeles — people with charges like attempted rape, murder, drug trafficking, and weapon possession — what do the headlines say?
Do they say “Public Safer After Violent Felons Captured”?
Nope.
They say:
“Peaceful Protests Erupt After Immigration Crackdown”
“Joyful Resistance in the Streets of LA”
“A Cry for Community”
They call it “mostly peaceful.” They say it’s like celebrating a sports win. They drop lines like, “just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.”
That’s not journalism. That’s editorial arson.
Rewriting Reality One Broadcast at a Time
Let’s walk through the playbook:
Downplay the crime – Focus on feelings, not facts.
Vilify the law – Paint ICE or law enforcement as instigators.
Sanitize the violence – Swap “riots” with “demonstrations.”
Elevate the chaos – Use cinematic language. Show fire. Cue emotional music.
Blame the other side – Trump, conservatives, “systemic oppression.”
It’s a rinse-repeat formula. Every time.
The press doesn’t want solutions. They want soundbites. They want clicks. They want rage.
News Anchors or Arsonists?
This isn’t a theory. It’s documented behavior.
Remember 2020?
CNN stood in front of a burning police station while the chyron read:
“FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS.”
In 2025, they’ve upped their game. Now it’s “synchronized dance.”
Meanwhile, real people are getting hurt. Businesses are being torched. Cities are paralyzed. And the average citizen is gaslit into thinking they’re the problem for wanting laws enforced.
This is psychological warfare wrapped in a press pass.
When Reporters Become Rioters
We used to believe reporters were neutral.
They’re not.
They’re narrative engineers.
They frame the story to serve the agenda.
They choose which voices get heard — and which get demonized.
If you support law enforcement, you’re a fascist.
If you question sanctuary cities, you’re xenophobic.
If you point out the violence, you’re “amplifying division.”
And if you notice the insanity, you’re a conspiracy theorist.
This isn’t journalism. It’s manipulation.
Turn It Off. Call It Out.
You want to know how to cool the temperature in this country?
Turn off the fire-starters.
Refuse to be programmed. Call out the euphemisms. Reject the framing. Demand facts, not feelings.
Because peace doesn’t start with protests.
It starts with truth.
And right now, truth is being buried under a pile of flaming headlines.
Final thought:
The media will keep fanning the flames until it stops working.
Until you stop buying it.
Until enough people say: “That’s not news — that’s gasoline.”
The moment we stop letting them dictate the story?
That’s the moment we take the matchbook out of their hands.
