Media Narratives and the Misrepresentation of Looting

The 4th part of our series Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart

It's time to move on to... episode 3 of season 2 of Things Fell Apart. This episode features the worst example of both sidesing I've ever heard. It's astonishing. An interracial family was driving in the woods to go camping during the pandemic. A group of angry right wing racists, with guns and dogs, follows them and cuts down trees to block the road and prevent their escape. You might be wondering how in the world someone could "both sides" this event. Welp, Jon Ronson finds a way. And it's... oof. Just yikes.
