‘Media whitewash’: BLM riots blamed for billions in destruction and deaths

Sky News host Rita Panahi blasts the media’s “mostly peaceful” narrative surrounding the BLM riots, arguing the destruction left communities devastated.

“The truth is BLM’s summer of love, the riots, arson, mindless violence and destruction across America, cost billions in damage, cost more than 20 lives and saw many more injured,” Ms Panahi said.

“This is how the media covered what they called fiery but mostly peaceful protests.

“The media whitewash doesn’t change the facts.

“BLM’s rain of destruction caused around $2 billion in damage across the country, but so much more harm was inflicted on communities, the killings, the assault.

“The left has selective amnesia.”
