As the mainstream media continues to gaslight over the “mostly peaceful” Los Angeles riots, we turn to the New York Times, which on Wednesday rushed to the defense of Mexican flag-waving rioters who President Donald Trump and others in the administration have referred to as “insurrectionists.”
The Times, it seems, wanted us to know that the flags from other countries, including Mexico, which have been on display since the start of the riots, were not an example of anti-Americanism and attempted occupation but instead pride in heritage:
This week, those who kept waving them said that it was important to honor their heritage and not acquiesce to Mr. Trump, even while they recognized the potential political cost. They said that the flag to them was not un-American, that it represented their Chicano roots rather than a national allegiance.
And hey, how is this really different from any other day in Southern California, they insinuated:
But protesters said this week that they see the Mexican flag as a symbol of defiance against Mr. Trump’s immigration policies or of solidarity with other Mexican Americans. The flag has become so ubiquitous in recent decades that it is a part of the Southern California landscape, adorning pickup trucks and flapping from bridges. Few mass gatherings occur in the region without a Mexican flag or two, from weekend soccer matches to Los Angeles Dodgers championship parades.
Strangely, when it came to displays of American patriotism and pride in heritage by conservative Justice Samuel Alito’s wife, Martha-Ann, the New York Times sang a much different tune, penning multiple hit pieces in May 2024 on Mrs. Alito’s flag-waving practices to try to tie her to the events of January 6th, 2021:
They even called in purported “judicial experts” to claim that because the upside-down U.S. flag and the “Appeal to Heaven” flag were allegedly Jan. 6th symbols, their being flown at the Alito homes meant Justice Alito was ethically compromised and should recuse himself from J6-related cases:
Judicial experts said in interviews that the flag was a clear violation of ethics rules, which seek to avoid even the appearance of bias, and could sow doubt about Justice Alito’s impartiality in cases related to the election and the Capitol riot.[…]The revelation about that flag prompted concerns from legal scholars and ethicists, and calls from dozens of Democratic lawmakers that the justice recuse himself from cases related to Jan. 6.
As always, there is a method to the mainstream press’ madness, with the Times (and other media outlets) undoubtedly expressing solidarity with the Mexican flag-waving LA rioters not just because they agree with them on the issue of illegal immigration and hating America but also because this is an issue that is currently helping President Trump in the polls:
As usual, when Democrats and their paid professional agitators are in disarray, the media swoop in to try and save the day. It’s like clockwork with these people, and is one more on a long list of examples of why you don’t hate them enough.
