The author criticizes the media&#8217;s efforts to normalize and trivialize the violence,suggesting that public trust in these outlets is declining as they struggle to provide an honest account of the events. The discussion also touches on the political implications, especially in relation to responses from public officials and former President Trump. the article argues that the media&#8217;s inconsistent narrative undermines their credibility in reporting on civil unrest.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>When rioters set dozens of cities ablaze in the summer of 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/denial-of-equal-protection-for-whites-how-culture-countered-the-constitution-in-america\/\" title=\"Challenging Equal Protection: Culture vs. the Constitution in America\">corporate media labeled<\/a> the mayhem &ldquo;fiery but mostly peaceful.&rdquo;
