Fox News once again proves they hire stupid people to report the news...

Reporter Julio Rosas says media 'trying to dismiss' ugly side Seattle's 'Autonomous Zone,' but he’s seen it himself

Townhall senior reporter Julio Rosas, who is on the ground in Seattle covering the city's police-free “Autonomous Zone,” thinks the mainstream media is downplaying the story, and that coverage would be more hostile if President Trump supporters had taken over parts of a city.

Liberal news outlets have largely downplayed the six-block downtown area, dubbed the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ), because of its location in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood. CNN has dismissed the chaos, while The New York Times celebrated it as “a homeland for racial justice.”

President Trump told Fox News' Harris Faulkner in an exclusive interview Thursday that his administration is "not going to let Seattle be occupied by anarchists." But as of Friday morning, the “Autonomous Zone” remained in full effect, and Rosas is there to document every turn. He has reported “tensions within the loose coalition of people occupying the area” and appeared on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday night to note the latest developments.

Townhall senior reporter Julio Rosas said CNN’s claims about the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” are “simply not true.”

In an email interview with Fox News' Media Angle, Rosas explained what CNN has gotten wrong, the most unbelievable thing he’s seen on the ground, and how he prepares to cover potentially violent events.

MEDIA ANGLE: What’s the biggest misperception from the media when it comes to covering Seattle’s “autonomous zone"?

Rosas: I think the biggest misperception in the media is that only good things are happening in and around the autonomous zone. As I have been documenting the past few days, things are not all sunshine, rainbows and unicorns. There has been fighting, there was an armed "warlord" and there have been threats of violence. Yes, things have been mostly peaceful, but that's not all that's happening here.

... labels that well serve the Fux Nuz political agendas of hate and turmoil on American streets.

Go away Fux Nuz we do not care to hear your outright lies and fabrications any more.
