U.S. Media
•7 days
83 sources in U.S. Media are amplifying 120 narrative items relating to the narrative that Republicans are using footage of the Los Angeles riots to promote their "law and order" platform in midterm campaigns. They blame Governor Newsom and Democratic policies for the unrest, while Newsom counters by blaming Trump’s immigration policies, linking immigration and crime debates.
Reviewing a number of the most relevant narrative items indicates that Free Republic portrays the events in a strongly negative light toward the Democratic leadership, using emotionally charged and loaded language to emphasize violence and lawlessness during the Los Angeles riots. The coverage largely blames Governor Newsom and Democratic policies, framing the unrest as a direct consequence of their governance, while praising Republican efforts to address crime through their "law and order" platform. There is a clear bias evident in the source’s framing, as it uses the footage and events as political ammunition and employs hyperbole to exacerbate fears about immigration and social instability. Compared to other outlets that might present a more balanced view including both sides' arguments and context, Free Republic’s coverage is distinctly partisan and propagandistic, aiming to mobilize conservative voters by focusing heavily on negative portrayals of the opposing party.
