The article discusses how President Trump is leveraging unrest in California to justify his political agenda and boost conservative narratives. It highlights recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles that escalated into violence, feeding Trump's portrayal of California as a disorderly and anti-American landscape. Fox News is noted for capitalizing on these events to portray a liberal crisis. The article argues that such portrayals are bolstered by the actions of a small fraction of protestors, which play into Trump’s narrative and contribute to a broader sensationalist media narrative.
In one clip, you can watch masked rioters smashing the windows of an LAPD headquarters. To top it off, one of them is carrying a Mexican flag.
Naturally, Fox News is there to lend a hand and monetize the mayhem. Prominently featured on Fox's website on Monday was footage that couldn't have been scripted better.
