Dr. Phil says legacy media is 'creating criminals' by distorting LA riot coverage

Dr Phil blamed the media for encouraging the ongoing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles Thursday On The Real Story the talk show host shared multiple photos and videos of chaos from the riots in L A and juxtaposed it with how members of the media have worked to downplay it Your eyes don t deceive you but the media does he explained In one clip he exhibited CNN host Dana Bash downplaying what is happening in L A in comparison to saying That was a real riot LIBERAL MEDIA DOWNPLAYS LA RIOTS DISMISS VIOLENCE AS ISOLATED WHILE TOUTING 'PEACEFUL' ANTI-ICE PROTESTS Guess this isn t a real riot Dr Phil quipped sarcastically He proceeded to share a video of MSNBC interviewing Rep Judy Chu D-Calif with a split screen of cars on fire as she referred to the riot as a manufactured dilemma Dr Phil retorted that MSNBC s news coverage is what s in fact manufactured He mocked one MSNBC reporter saying the protest had a celebratory atmosphere while another host disclosed that these are peaceful protests that whole families are attending Great place to take kids Dr Phil joked with more sarcasm I don t think so After showing multiple examples of violent criminals rounded up by ICE he revealed Look this was not a witch hunt to round up Abuela Maria It's law enforcement getting criminals off the street So what does the left do Encourages everyone to become criminals by blocking freeways setting fires throwing rocks destroying city property and attacking federal agents MAYOR BASS BLAMES TRUMP'S ICE RAIDS FOR STARTING RIOTS WHILE CLAIMING 'THINGS IN LA ARE CALM' The real story This isn t just about immigration it s about media betrayal He continued This isn't just a protest anymore Everybody has the right to protest that's one of the things that makes this country such a wonderful place to be This is a movement fed by media distortions and open hostility toward any effort to enforce the law The host argued that rhetoric about abolishing ICE is just as nonsensical as calling to abolish the police and is functionally just advocating for open borders He then highlighted MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff as a so-called journalist making the incident that there s nothing wrong with coming and staying in the US illegally The media isn't just rewarding bad behavior by sugarcoating it they re encouraging it Dr Phil reported after the clip They're definitely saying Hey this is okay They're creating criminals They're lying to viewers even though the video speaks for itself This is why mainstream media viewership has tanked he added If you want the truth you need to look for the truth find it demand it it's out there You need to cut through the legacy media noise Fox News Digital reached out to CNN and MSNBC for comment
