TV Networks' Coverage of 'Freedom Convoy' Lacks 'So-Called' Objectivity

Anchor Judy Woodruff dryly reported that "Canadian police have arrested more than 190 protesters and issued 389 charges in connection with the so-called 'Freedom Convoy.'".

CNN's Jim Acosta was barking: "Canadian officials say they were sickened to see protesters dancing on that country's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This all began as the so-called Freedom Convoy of truckers who drove across the country for several days before arriving in Ottawa yesterday."

"Freedom from truth, freedom from civility, freedom from reality. Canada's so-called Freedom Convoy. The truckers' protest over all pandemic restrictions galvanizes far-right groups worldwide."

It turns out that CNN hated the Canadian protests so much that I found the term "So-called Freedom Convoy" used in 62 different hours of CNN coverage.

On MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," substitute host Alicia Menendez warned of "The so-called Freedom Convoy, crippling the U.S. and Canadian economy, raising security alarms about copycat protests. So, why is the U.S. right wing cheering them on?".

Would anyone ever refer to "So-called Black Lives Matter protests"? I searched CNN for "So-called Black Lives Matter," and there was one record.

Jack Brewer of Black Voices for Trump was saying the media "Ignore the so-called Black Lives Matter organization that openly, on their website, called for the destruction of the nuclear family."
