Don, here is the perfect example of how conservatives are duped over and over again by their own media. For months the conservative media claimed that innocent conservative protesters were being harassed by ANTIFA thugs and even violently beaten up. These conservative "victims" even had a spokesperson who often went on Fox News claiming that he himself had been beaten up by these Antifa thugs. Tom even made a post about this poor innocent conservative "victim" that suffered at the hands of Antifa here. After months and months of the conservative media droning on about this, the mainstream media finally got interested.
First, they took pictures of these poor conservative victims that showed up to peacefully extoll their wholesome conservative values. It wasn't a pretty picture.

They also embedded real journalists posing as protesters at this march. The journalists got video recordings of the organizer of this March, his second in command and their Fox News PR guy addressing their "troops." The organizer and his cohorts told their "troops" that they were there to instigate fights with Portland residents so they could get videos of them being hit in the fights they started which they would then claim were videos of ANTIFA members attacking them.
The video was taken right before they stormed into a bar that wasn't full of ANTIFA but just regular folks enjoying a drink at the bar. After this whole fraudulent scheme was exposed, Fox News and the rest of the conservative media didn't issue corrections, they just quite inviting these folks to appear on their shows. The damage was already done as gullible conservatives like Don, Boiler and Tom still believe this garbage and repeat it.
