York points out that many reporters now live across various neighborhoods in the city, including some experiencing significant crime, wich influences their acknowledgment of the problem. He notes that while journalists may have previously resided in safer, wealthier areas, changing demographics and gentrification have led to a more realistic perspective on crime.<\/p>\n<p>York cites specific issues such as the spike in carjackings between 2022 and 2023 and the resulting actions by the D.C. attorney general who urged automakers Kia and Hyundai to recall vulnerable vehicle models. The city and nearby Arlington county have responded by <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >offering free anti-theft devices<\/a> to residents. York supports Trump&#8217;s approach to combating crime as practical and more effective, mentioning that the FBI has already made multiple arrests related to the initiative since the National Guard deployment.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-4686-3758\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:14832835450050406,size:[0, 0],id:\"ld-4686-3758\"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.decide.dev\/_js\/ajs.js\";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,\"script\",\"ld-ajs\");<\/script><\/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<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Byron York says media won&rsquo;t deny DC problem since reporters &lsquo;experience crime&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2202276\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Washington Examiner<\/em> chief political correspondent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/daily-memo\/3496589\/trump-dc-crime-why-he-is-right\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Byron York<\/a> noted the &ldquo;nuanced&rdquo; coverage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/3497190\/ward-8-washington-dc-homicide-rate-similar-juarez-mexico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">crime in Washington, D.C.<\/a>, as reporters reconcile their own experiences with crime.<\/p>\n<p>York referred to the coverage of President Donald Trump&rsquo;s announcement on Aug. 11 that he&rsquo;d be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3496162\/trump-dc-police-takeover-national-guard-crime-what-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">deploying the National Guard<\/a> to the capital to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-portland-mayor-done-with-anarchist-mob-begs-public-to-help-unmask-rioters\/\" title=\"Democrat Portland Mayor \u2018Done\u2019 With \u2018Anarchist Mob,\u2019 Begs Public To Help \u2018Unmask\u2019 Rioters\">assist law enforcement<\/a> in combating crime.
