Reporters can’t seem to keep up with where they are supposed to be any more, with the Democratic script flip-flopping so much. Democrats finally discovered the riots and some are now condemning the “violence” (albeit not so much the leftists behind the violence). But some of the reporters are still stuck back on the “denial” memo and “Antifa isn’t real” fantasy of Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), wanting to show that cities weren’t “ablaze.”

So some of them actually began posting pretty pictures as if to suggest that the riots we’ve been seeing plague cities like Portland for the last three months weren’t real.

Here’s CNN’s Josh Campbell (formerly worked for James Comey) still spinning:

Good morning from wonderful Portland, where the city is not under siege and buildings are not burning to the ground.

I also ate my breakfast burrito outside today and so far haven’t been attacked by shadowy gangs of Antifa commandos. pic.twitter.com/shG39nVRnS

Yeah, he got his breakfast burrito so screw the Trump who was killed a few days ago allegedly by a guy who said he was “100% Antifa” or Ted Wheeler’s neighbors having their condo building lit on fire.

Antifa rioters have grown the fire outside @tedwheeler’s condo in NW Portland. There is black smoke everywhere on the street. Meanwhile, they are still shining lights into people’s homes. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/MCv6H7Blbf

Antifa rioters broke inside a dentist office by @tedwheeler’s condo, stole furniture to set on fire & started a fire in the lobby. #PortlandRiots #antifa pic.twitter.com/ZtbGGqkQMh

As I reported last night, CNN has failed to cover a lot of the riots in Portland, even minimizing it to being “largely confined” to a two block area around the courthouse, apparently missing the trips to Ted Wheelers condo in the Pearl District, the northeast attacks on the Penumbra Kelly building, the attacks on the Portland Police Association building in the north or the attacks on the ICE building in the south, not to mention the rampaging through residential neighborhoods in the process. So maybe for CNN, all the damage, the fires, the assaults aren’t real, because CNN hasn’t bothered to cover much of the action.

Becket Adams had more denialists here, most posting pretty pictures of parks near D.C.

Is this going to become a sub-genre of twitter? Reporters tweeting sunny images from brunch along with denials that riots are even occurring? pic.twitter.com/jXaUpdgazi

So are they really trying to suggest that the riots aren’t happening? Shall we tell that to the people of Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York and D.C., among many others? Obviously, the citizens of Kenosha would beg to differ.

But isn’t this the height of arrogance and privilege, to suggest if in that moment, the area in which they stand isn’t ablaze, that the riots must not exist.

lol this is the most hilarious thing "journalists" do — find a nice little corner in the morning where there are no fires or chaos and say "nothing to see here!"

Why don't you come back after dark, cupcake. Someone was literally executed there a few days ago. https://t.co/ousA1z9Zql

Of course, this reveals is that they of course are so wedded to the Democratic narrative/anti-Trump narrative that they will literally twist reality.

But then, they’ve effectively played themselves with these pictures of tranquility, haven’t they? If riots don’t exist, then none of those Democratic conspiracies do either and everything is just hunky dory.

'OUR CITIES ARE BEING ATTACKED BY WHITE SUPREMACISTS SENT BY TRUMP TO INCITE VIOLENCE. PEOPLE ARE FEARING FOR THEIR LIVES!!'

'Lols. What riots?' https://t.co/HhIhZmkfD2

Ok but how about the unmarked gestapo running the streets under the orders of President New Hitler? You seen them around anywhere? https://t.co/Hzm6glpkmS

This is so stupid. When I went to Baghdad (!) for the Times, experienced reporters told me I’d be surprised how normal life was *most* of the time. They were right: life was usually normal. People still shopped, drank tea, sent their kids to school.

Even with a car bomb a day. https://t.co/92y6yFbuat

Which is it?

Trump is sending out white supremacists to start a race war, as leftwing commentators are frantically demanding?

Or is there nothing happening and everyone is just making it all up as so many journalists are trying to suggest in posts like this? 🤔 https://t.co/HhIhZmkfD2
