Actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger joined ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel to promote season two of Netflix’s FUBAR, but the duo could not resist talking about the LA riots.

ICYMI: Leavitt Bowls Over Lefty Journos Trying to Play Gotcha on Riots

Wednesday afternoon’s White House press briefing was a fun one as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasn’t having it with liberal journalists at Agence France-Presse (AFP), The New York Times, NOTUS, and Reuters trying to trap the Trump administration with questions about President Trump’s ironclad commitment to restoring law and order in Los Angeles following riots last weekend.

CNN’s Brownstein: Trump Sees LA as ‘Hostile Territory to Be Subdued’

Wednesday morning, The Situation Room aired CNN political analyst and Bloomberg opinion writer, Ron Brownstein, in order to talk about the ongoing situation in Los Angeles, California.

5th Anniversary of George Floyd’s Death – The Damage Continues, Part 2

In dealing with the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles police chief described his force as “overwhelmed” by the protesters and rioters. The city, as is the case with many of America’s other large cities, suffers from inadequate manpower. The size of the LAPD is the smallest in 20 years. The George Floyd protest/riots-inspired “cops-are-out-to-get blacks” narrative is not just…

PBS Finds Mostly 'Non-Violent,' 'Festival-like' Atmosphere in L.A.

Tuesday’s PBS News Hour led off with special correspondent Marcia Biggs’ nearly nine-minute segment from downtown Los Angeles, ground zero in the confrontation between Trump’s immigration enforcement and protests that often devolved into looting and rioting.

Meyers Claims GOP Would Have Snitched On Tea Party In 1700s

NBC’s Seth Meyers continued his lamentations on President Trump’s response to the Los Angeles riots on Wednesday’s edition of Late Night. As Meyers tells it, Congressional Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are “collaborating” with Trump to “turn America into a military-style autocracy” and would’ve ratted out the original Tea Party to the British in 1773.

NewsBusters Podcast: Why Can't Media Oppose All Violence Against Cops?

If the media were truly objective on violent protests against police, they would discourage January 6 rioters and leftist rioters. They shouldn't be shaming Trump at the same time they downplay violence against police in Los Angeles as a nothingburger. NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck has watched all the riot coverage on the morning and evening newscasts.

MSNBC’s Ari Melber: L.A. Riots Less Challenging Than Oscars Security

MSNBC’s Ari Melber went to impressive lengths Tuesday night to try and downplay the riots that have plagued Los Angeles for the past few days. On his show, The Beat, he tried to make the impact these riots had seem as minimal as possible. “Let's tell you here in the news what we know,” Melber started, providing a weak summary of the facts:

MSNBC Lies: 'There Is No Violent Mob In Los Angeles'

One of the week’s most inaccurate and biased statements was “there is no vicious and violent mob in Los Angeles.” This claim did not come from some fringe angry online social media user, but was pushed by MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Tuesday night’s broadcast of The Last Word. Clearly, this take was not only just extremely out of touch with reality, but a bald-faced lie.

ABC Praises Rioters for ‘Self-Policing’ as NBC Admits Harm to Stores

Even though CBS’s lead newscasts were far and away the most out of control Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in siding with the illegal immigrant mobs in Los Angeles and attacking President Trump for a simple desire to restore law and order, their compatriots at ABC and NBC had plenty of their own hot takes. ABC ludicrously declared the “protesters” have been “self-policing, keeping others…

ABC: ICE, National Guard, Marines ‘Just Following Orders’ Like Nazis

The ABC News co-hosts of Disney’s The View were channeling their friend Jane Fonda on Wednesday as they took to viciously bashing America’s services members as Nazis. According to the gaggle of liberal extremists, the ICE agents as well as the soldiers with the National Guard and the Marines in Los Angeles, California echoed “1938” Germany and the Nazis who were “just following orders…
