Journalist Michael Tracey: Ignoring the Human Cost of BLM Riots is ‘Media Scandal of Epic Proportions’
Journalist Michael Tracey is describing a “media scandal of epic proportions” due to the fake news completely ignoring the aftermath of nationwide Black Lives Matter riots.
We're approaching two months since the riots erupted, so I've done a roundup with photos and other observations. The basic takeaway: the enormity of what occurred here has not been CLOSE to adequately conveyed. It's a media scandal of epic proportionshttps://t.co/xxo0IUIWxX

Democrats and their media allies have a clear political motive to downplay what happened here. But you’re also not going to get an accurate narrative from Low IQ right-wing media who spin everything in their own dumbass fashion. So the people left out are the actual victims

FYI, I'll have something specific to Portland in a few days, as what's going on here is sort of its own animal. Also considering doing Medium posts more often because this has already gotten a very large response. (I used to post on Medium or near-daily…)

The current political climate is such that no major media outlet would find this kind of "retrospective" tolerable, given their fear of internal staff revolts and "helping Trump." It's wild that the most widespread riots in *at least 50+ years* have been essentially covered up

As always, if anyone can explain what I've gotten wrong here — or in other words, make the case that the coverage has accurately captured the scope of these riots — I'm all ears. Because the discrepancy between my first-hand observations and the national narrative is insane

Tracey has traveled around to many cities across the U.S. that have been destroyed due to the rioting. City life has been ground to a standstill because of the dual crises of COVID-19 mass hysteria and race riots. He noted that even smaller cities have been ravaged by the orgy of violence sweeping the nation.
“Fort Wayne, IN doesn’t immediately come to mind as a likely candidate for a riot location, but one nonetheless took place. A coffee shop employee told me that their window was smashed by white kids with skateboards. As in many other places, the resulting plywood has served as a canvas for a city-sanctioned communal art project,” Tracey wrote in a Medium post.
“Similarly in Green Bay, WI, residents could not recall anything even approaching a riot ever occurring before. Here, the manager of a small tobacco and convenience shop displays photos of the damage taken for insurance purposes. Nearby, the windows of a post office were smashed,” he added.
Some shopkeepers have even developed nasty cases of Stockholm Syndrome, showing solidarity to the savages who are out to destroy everything they have worked for throughout their entire lives.
“A music shop owner in Olympia, WA told me that while his window was smashed, he also felt moved to put up the plywood boards “in solidarity” with the “movement,” to again provide protesters with a canvas for their art projects,” Tracey wrote.
“Despite the incredible amount of destruction that I’ve personally witnessed, it’s only a tiny fraction. If I hadn’t made a point to spend six weeks traveling around the country, I never would’ve gotten this information. Is a “national conversation” warranted here? I don’t know. That’s a ridiculous cliche, anyway. But I do know the enormity of what transpired over these past two months has not been adequately conveyed,” he concluded.
Big League Politics has reported on Tracey’s journalistic exploits over recent weeks, as he is one of the few left-leaning reporters interested in sharing the stories of individuals targeted in the riots.
I’m in Minneapolis. First place I stop, most of the block is still boarded up. This grocery and tobacco store is owned by an Iranian, neighbor tells me. “They took everything.” Owner is deliberating whether to permanently close after the riots pic.twitter.com/RzgNrbeogv

Just down the street, a Malaysian restaurant is boarded up, but has resumed business. As has a Vietnamese sandwich shop, which just re-opened a few days ago. (I had a sandwich. Vegetarian duck? Was good) pic.twitter.com/ctNH3BJRut

Nearby a Halal market is boarded up. Its next door neighbor, a child care center, has signs in the windows asking to be spared pic.twitter.com/Lzsi7lmCog

Not sure what a “mindful preschool” is, but apparently it has something to do with saying the names of people killed by police pic.twitter.com/ALtmyHkkbn

Tracey’s photographs from inner cities does not show the land of the free. It shows a nascent United States of Somalia, a war-torn zone under the brutal occupation of diversity and multiculturalism. America is dying, and Western Civilization is not far behind her.
