Propaganda Media Downplay France’s Islamo-Marxist Riots– thefederalist.com

Propaganda media exist for one reason and one reason only — to advance their left-wing political allies’ destructive agenda. Anyone who tuned into their coverage of this weekend’s French riots experienced this unspoken mission statement firsthand.

As far-left radicals and Islamists dressed in dark clothes and masks and wielding Palestinian flags desecrated historic buildings and landmarks throughout the once-respectable republic, the “democracy dies in darkness” crowd worked overtime to convince audiences at home that these violent riots were nothing more than “student protests” against school policies.

While characterizing the riots as “some of the worst violence the country has ​witnessed for decades,” Reuters described the leftist and Third Worlder violence as “demonstrations against rising living costs and declining public services [that] spiralled out of control.” The Associated Press similarly dubbed the riots “nationwide protests against rising living costs and poor conditions in schools.”

On X, the Seattle-based KOMO News summarized this weekend’s violence as “student demonstrations over teacher shortages and poor school conditions [that] broadened into a nationwide protest over rising living costs and fuel prices.” The English division of the Qatari-backed Al Jazeera also described the riots “spreading” in France and other European nations as “student protests.”
