Every morning I review what occurring in Portland during the overnight hours to share them with you to help get the word out about what is really going on. I follow journalists from all sides in order to find the best videos and images.
As I was reviewing the feed of “journalists” sympathetic to the extremists I noticed them announcing a change as to how they will “report” what is occurring nightly in Portland.
Robert Evans who is a “journalist” that has been interviewed by the New York Times said that he will no longer Livestream what is happening at the fence during the nightly attacks.
For what it is worth, I am currently rethinking my rules of engagement when it comes to appropriate times to livestream.
Doing so at the Federal Courthouse seems pointless at this time.
I expect I will continue to film police / federal riot lines during street actions.

In other words, I’m not going to show what’s really happening I’m going to alter clips to fit my narrative. That’s not journalism, that’s called propaganda.
There is a battle brewing between streamers and extremists here’s an example…
This is intimidation. Of course they are watching the streams, along with thousands of supporters who are trying to be informed and who donate to the cause. If sympathetic stremers stop, we will heave a higher ratio of hostile streams: https://t.co/BHllAVPGIr

It is wrong to view livestreams as purely a negative just because law enforcement also watches them. It is also wrong, as a streamer, to ignore the changing situation on the ground and not alter your tactics. https://t.co/YdlnsXIAcZ

Similar to CHAZ this movement is about to destroy itself.
