The media is still losing its mind over the fact that Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges.
It continues to spew rhetoric that is simply not true.
The latest example being a “Face the Nation” report that completely twisted the facts to paint Rittenhouse as a radical that crossed state lines looking for blood.
Fake News
Mark Strassman claimed that Rittenhouse crossed over state lines “armed for battle.”
Not true, period.
Rittenhouse was actually working in Wisconsin at the time.
The firearm was also already in the state.
It may seem like a small detail to some, but this is a charge that was dropped from the case because it simply was not true, yet CBS continued to push this as a fact…
On CBS's Face the Nation, reporter Mark Strassman repeats the debunked LIE that "Rittenhouse drove in from Illinois armed for battle." He was not charged with that and it came out during the trial that the rifle was in Kenosha, where Rittenhouse has family and where he worked. pic.twitter.com/bcCTxzz7G5

Defense lawyer Mark Richards also slammed the bogus media coverage.
He stated, “That’s wrong. When I hear some guest host on Joy Reid say my client drove four hours to go to a riot with his AR, that’s wrong. It’s false.”
Everyone also keeps ignoring the fact the streets of Kenosha were turned over to rioters by local officials and the police.
Police only maintained a perimeter to try to contain the violence, but they did nothing to actually stop it.
Had they done their job and protected these businesses, private citizens would not have been needed to protect their property.
This one-sided, twisted reporting must stop in the mainstream media.
This is just as responsible for rioting and discourse as all the gaslighting statements being made by Democrats.
