    It is spreading false information of the BLM/Anitfa protesters depicting them as peacful protesters who want change but at the same time burning down cities, destroying buisnesses, looting and pilliaging their own towns. Nobody wants to call them Anarchists because they are afriad of hurting someones feelings, not everyone who protests is bad, I support the change for AA, but when you affliate yourselves with the people who want to tear down our country, thats something I cant get behind. The Protesters have killed more people than cops killed AA, but the news doesnt want to talk about that. Martin Luther KIng Jr, marched, not rioted. He was a republican, but everyone considers him to be a democrat, the man who killed him was a democrat, the people who started the K.K.K were democrats, everyone blames the repbulicans though, when they were the ones who brought an end to the CIvil War and brought the freeedom of AA all over the country. When you spread false information, its gets people all confused on whos wrong or whos rights. CNN and the other mainstream media outlets use this to their advantage, its how they get people to turn aganist one another, its how they divide a country, thats how they win.

    Perhaps as another propaganda technique which should be discussed is the idea that if you repeat a lie often enough and forcefully enough people will come to believe it.

    BLM’s burning down cities is a case in point. Yes, there has been some minor arson, with attempts (usually pretty incompetent attempts) to burn government buildings, and some police cars have been torched. But I have a map of the United States here before me, and I defy anyone to point out an American city that has been “burned down”.

    To say that members of BLM, or even antifa (and I have nothing good to say about the so-called anarchists who dress in black and commit purposeless vandalism), have “burned down cities” is to tell a lie. To say it often enough, or to have trusted sources saying it (such as Fox News, Breitbart, the New York Post, Newsmax, etc.), ensures that it’s believed by many people, all despite the fact that they can’t point to a single American city that’s actually been burned down.

    The same can be said about Matt’s claim that “the Protesters have killed more people than cops killed”. Can Matt actually point to incidents during Black Lives Matter marches that the protesters have killed multiple people? I know of none, yet the number of Black Americans killed by law enforcement is tragically high.
