Media Must Reject War Zone Spin on Portland

Right-wing media are describing Portland as being under siege — “a war zone” — while on-the-ground reporting shows a different reality: calm communities, peaceful protests, isolated incidents. The spin inflames fear and justifies escalated force.

Journalistic integrity demands truth over theatrics. Newsrooms should resist repeating sensationalist language and instead report what local residents see, hear, and experience.
