It would be incredible if we could get through a lawsuit to news stations anytime they make bad assumptions in articles. They continually write “Federal agents detained …” when they should be writing “A team of unidentified individuals in masks and armor detained …”
Just as they are always meant to write “The suspect” not “The criminal”. Nothing must be assumed in reporting (exceptions allowed if they’ve contacted ICE headquarters and received a confirmation of them)

The media is the 4th branch, they won’t report on these things until they have to. And even then, they’ll find a way to delegitimize.
For now, anyway. Due process and the presumption of innocence are still holding up, but the fascists are working hard on that one.
What? No friend, that’s a very privileged viewpoint that doesn’t hold true for many people and never has.
