Seattle Times Gets Ratioed Into Next Week With Glorious Community Note for Claim About Trump and the CHOP

We saw how the ABC moderators were biased during the debate, fact-checking former President Donald Trump even on things that were matters of opinion versus refusing to fact-check Kamala Harris a single time for outright, easily disprovable lies.

On top of that nonsense, then liberal media came out with multiple reports attacking Trump over things he said to try to add to the sense that what he was saying wasn't true. But they were spreading propaganda horse hockey to try to sway people, including this incredible hot take from the Seattle Times.

Trump falsely claimed during the presidential debate Tuesday that protesters took over a big portion Seattle during the Capitol Hill Organized Protest in 2020.

Um, what? Were you guys alive in your own city in 2020? Or don't you count it when it's leftist radical protesters? We covered the CHAZ/CHOP occupation of blocks of the city by BLM protesters at great length, including all the problems that ensued. What was crazy about it was how the city pretty much allowed it to happen as it got out of control and people were even killed. To deny that is to deny history.

The Seattle Times got smacked with a great Community Note -- that fact-checked them with their own story.

The Seattle Times themselves have reported on the very real incident in June of 2020 where violent protestors forcefully took control of a portion of Seattle’s Capitol Hill area that was dubbed CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) or CHOP (Capitol Hill Organized Protest)

There was this misleading part of the Seattle Times' story too:

Trump was asked if he has any regrets about what he did on Jan. 6, 2021, when he asked his supporters to march to the U.S. Capitol, ultimately leading to an insurrection.

They left out that he never called on them to "riot" or have an "insurrection," indeed he said "peacefully and patriotically" march. They call what Trump said about the CHAZ/CHOP "false" even though they admit the protesters took over several blocks and Trump was right to say many were not prosecuted for occupying the area. So exactly what was false in his completely true statement?

Talk about you don't hate the media enough; they will put out any propaganda if it hurts Trump/serves Democrats. You are not supposed to believe your own eyes or the truth.

People just ripped this claim to shreds and ratioed the Seattle Times into next week.
