Media Must Stop Sensationalizing Portland to Enable Force
Right-wing media has presented a dystopian, exaggerated version of Portland — claiming it’s overrun by “lawless mobs” and chaos. This portrayal mirrors Trump’s threats to deploy federal troops and the National Guard, giving political cover for authoritarian tactics. These narratives prime audiences to welcome militarized interventions. Journalism should resist legitimizing force so our cities remain peaceful. Add your name to demand that media outlets report responsibly: cover Portland’s complexities, not the crisis spin used to justify repression.
