In a recent analysis, the Media Research Center has revealed that liberal-leaning news networks CNN and MSNBC have used the term ‘peaceful’ to describe the Los Angeles riots 211 times. This finding has sparked debate over media bias, as the report suggests these networks may be reinforcing a particular narrative about the events. The analysis comes amidst growing concerns about how the media shapes public perception and political discourse.
The ‘Big Weekend Show’ recently discussed the issue, highlighting how these networks consistently frame the riots in a way that aligns with their ideological leanings. The show’s hosts questioned whether this repetition is aimed at controlling the narrative or influencing public opinion. The Media Research Center’s report argues that such framing could have a significant impact on how the public understands the riots and their broader implications.
While the report does not claim to have definitive answers, it does raise important questions about media responsibility and the role of news organizations in shaping public discourse. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether these networks will acknowledge the issue or continue to frame the events in their own way.
