After the demonstration at the U.S. Capitol turned into a violent clash, the mainstream media, including the Associated Press, immediately used the words “rioter” and “riot” to set the tone for the incident and attacked Trump in a variety of ways. However, these media outlets were almost completely silent about last year’s “Antifa” (Anti-Fascist Movement), “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) and other left-wing atrocities against Trump supporters, which led to a double standard. Controversy. The Wall Street Journal last year, before the U.S. election, exposed the Associated Press, the New York Times and other mainstream media to support Biden’s rise to power, at the expense of trampling on the journalistic profession, and also exposed the editorial desk of the Associated Press to cover up leftist atrocities.
The Wall Street Journal’s opinion section published an editorial board op-ed “Saving Private Biden” on Oct. 27 last year, criticizing most U.S. mainstream media for downplaying or even ignoring the “emailgate” scandal involving Biden’s second son, Hunter, and social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook for even trying to clamp down on the spread of news and double-standard “good treatment” of Biden, as if they were helping a 3-year-old compete for the “candy kingdom.
At the end of August last year, a Trump supporter was believed to have died after being shot by Antifa or BLM left-wing radicals in the streets of Portland. The Wall Street Journal revealed that in September, the Associated Press changed its internal editorial guidelines and asked its reporters to use the word “riot” instead of “unrest” when reporting on looting, arson, violence and lawlessness on the streets of Portland, Kenosha, Wisconsin and other cities. “The Associated Press even cautioned reporters to be careful about using the word “looting” because Trump used it to describe the vicious behavior of leftist protesters.
The article also named the New York Times, a major newspaper for 100 years, for its outrageous headline on the front page during the most heated presidential campaign in 2016: “In the era of Trump, journalistic objectivity is a luxury Americans can’t afford.” (In the era of Donald Trump, press objectivity was a luxury America could not afford.)
The Wall Street Journal pointed out that these media outlets used biased reporting against Trump during his 2016 campaign, but were unable to stop him from winning the election, so they “spiced up” last year to help Trump’s opponents: absolutely no hard feelings for Biden. The article concludes with a comment by veteran American author Mark Hemingway that seeing the media handle Biden’s story “is like seeing someone trying to make sure a 3-year-old wins the candy kingdom.”
