CNN declared Tuesday that the Mexican flag is now “a defining symbol” of what it continues to describe as “peaceful protests” across Los Angeles.
The propaganda piece asserts that those involved are using the flag to “express solidarity with immigrants and denounce the Trump administration’s raids.”
It also proclaims that “the waving of foreign flags speaks to the generations of people from Mexico and other Latin American countries who have called the US, and particularly California, home.”
The piece quotes a UCLA professor claiming
“The flags mean their families. The flags mean their communities. It’s not about having an international invasion.”
Yeah. It kinda looked a lot like an invasion.
CNN potato Brian Stelter repeated this guff about it being a “community” thing.
Optics.
