Right up front, the Associated Press agenda is in the title. Although a suspect was shot and killed by the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service, a circumstance that plays out in this country rather routinely, the headline reads, “Federal task force kills Portland shooting suspect at arrest” instead of, Law enforcement killed the suspect. Although AP chooses to do so in the fifth paragraph:
“The U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task forces, comprised of deputy marshals, other federal agents and local law enforcement officers from a variety of agencies, are responsible for apprehending violent felons and other wanted suspects.”
The Democrats and their media allies have pushed the narrative hard that President Trump is creating the violence in their cities. Despite the fact he responded to the existing criminal violence happening by sending law enforcement from federal agencies to protect federal property and employees, something the local and state Democrat governments refused to do and denied Federal National Guard assistance. The Federal Task Force did not just come into being under the Trump administration.
The first paragraph is the pitch:
“A man suspected of fatally shooting a supporter of a right-wing group in Portland, Oregon, last week after a caravan of Donald Trump backers rode through downtown was killed Thursday as investigators moved in to arrest him, the U.S. Marshals Service said Friday.”
The AP, and most media, routinely refer to left-wing groups as “Leftist Activists” or “Social Justice Advocates”, hardly ever as left-wing groups. This is by design to associate the person to a now-debunked Anti Defamation League’s statistic claiming nearly three – fourths of extremist killings in the United States over the past decade have been committed by “right-wing extremists including white nationalists. This statistic has become the cited authoritative source by the Democrats and their media allies despite the flawed analysis. They never call any person on the right a “right activist” or a “Pro American Free Speech Advocate”.
The ADL manipulates numbers by defining an “extremist event” to include gang bangers shooting up one another or bad drug deals or domestic disputes gone south as an ideological hate crime. They include as well as other events that do not meet any reasonable criteria. You can learn more about the manipulated study here and here.

Could the AP please show video footage of White Supremacists setting fires, attacking law enforcement, and such? Of course, not that footage does not exist. The most recent shooting by Kyle Rittenhouse did not depict a vigilante roaming the streets indiscriminately killing people, and those he shot had weapons and physically engaged. Prior to that recent event, there has been no credible reporting of what the Governor gets away with describing as fact. These riots are going on 100 days and have documented large numbers, not small, of violence perpetrated by Antifa, BLM, and other criminals (see above videos posted). And no, perpetrators of violence are not being held equally accountable what a crock!
The Associated Press story is regurgitated almost verbatim across all “news” platforms today. And just so there is no confusion – the story is: Trump’s boogeymen opened fire, killing a complex and often misunderstood Social Justice Warrior who was just protecting the world from President Trump and his white supremacist followers. You know, the same followers who have been waging war in our city streets the last 100 days.
Give me a barf bag, please!
