#medialiteracy thread: These are not "protestors." They're violent, avowed, white supremacist, domestic terrorists. The only accurate word news outlets should use is "terrorists." It's not a "demonstration"--journalists must report accurately as an armed insurrection/coup attempt

This coup is coming from inside the (White) House. They incited it. They welcome it. So this fascistic would-be dictator and his administration enablers did nothing to prevent it. Snipers and Nat'l Guard would've been on call if these domestic terrorists were Black/brown/Muslim.

Far right, Nazi sympathizing domestic terrorists have been promising a coup attempt for weeks, yet nothing was done in advance to prevent it. And today there was no substantive effort to quash them from breaching the Capitol, Senate floor endangering lives, liberty, democracy.

Meanwhile, the would-be dictator who incited this coup attempt tweets how he's for Law & Order.

Orwellian.

Journalists must be explicit that this is violent domestic terrorism. Anything less than precise and accurate reporting borders on complicity with a coup. #medialiteracy
