On Friday's The Last Word on MSNBC, fill-in host Katy Tur presided over a panel discussion which placed the blame for recent rioting on President Donald Trump, and also blamed Fox News for convincing Trump voters not see him as responsible.
MSNBC contributor Yamiche Alcindor -- who is also a correspondent for PBS NewsHour -- recalled that President Trump has been trying to incorporate concerns over rioting into his campaign message, and then cited new polling suggesting that independents are turning against the Black Lives Matter movement because of the "chaos."
She concluded by fretting that the "peaceful message" of BLM is being "conflated" with "out of control rioters." Here was Alcindor:

She doesn't seem to realize that the reason people have been switching to Fox is because her own network has not had an honest story about Trump in 4 years. If your news source is always wrong its time to find another news source.

Or it could be because it isn't Trump's fault... It's BLM's and Antifa's fault.

It’s not that Fox convinced people not to blame Trump. Its that they failed to convince people to blame Trump. It doesn’t help them that people can see in real time what is going on. And these are all liberal run cities. Facts.

I blame the riots by Antifa on the liberal education system that has been brainwashing student in College and High Schools for years and on the fact that we ended the draft.

Well, at least MSNBC if finally admitting that they are totally impotent and have no influence on the masses, while Fox News (at least when they pretend to still be conservative) has a lot of influence.
We all knew that MSNBC was totally useless, but I'm shocked that they finally admit it!!!!!

Just confirming their plan all along was to start, fan the flames and then blame Trump for the violence. They are upset it boomeranged. They really arent very bright or in touch with reality.

It is kind of funny how Katy Tur thinks she is much smarter than most people... well all people. I really did enjoy her on camera mental breakdown on election night 2016. Beautiful, Katy. Let's see if you can top yourself this year.

The TRUTH is that Trump has been prevented from stopping the riots by Dem mayors and Governors.

Trump didn't cause the riots, why should he get the blame?

Why not blame the people paying the homegrown terrorist ? Does anyone think they would "rough it" as soy boys unless they were paid ?
All to blame the President.

I don't watch Fox news. I don't watch any network "news" as I would rather find out the truth of what is going on, without any Talking Head giving me his interpretation or narrative. I fail to see how President Trump is in any way responsible for the rioting and looting being committed by Antifa and BLM. The message they are sending is that they are lawless thugs and anarchists. The police obviously can't handle the rioting, as they are under the control of criminal mayors and governors. President Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act and call up the military, to put a stop to it with military force. .50 cal machine guns would do nicely. Should have happened as soon as they started looting and rioting.

That commie mayor of Portland was on national tv yesterday blaming Trump for the riots. It was the mayor's stupid action of telling the police to stand down to demonrat looting, arson, and thuggery. Even the Governor is at fault. Both of them refused to bring in the national guard to shut down the anarchists. Put the blame squarely where it belongs.

President Trump is not responsible for the riots and looting. The weak dimocRAT mayors and governors are. They seem to think that it is ok to loot and burn their own neighborhoods. The mayors and governors will not call for federal help and will not calling their own states National Guard to help control the rioters. Once again the lame stream media shows their cowardice in the face of the cancel culture criminals. They are afraid of losing the Bernie supporters vote.

There is nothing "peaceful" about the revolutionary Marxist political army Black Lives Matter. From root to branch, this organization is all about violence. They scorn debate, conciliation, and compromise.

BLM is NOT peaceful and it is the leftists who are rioting a d the Democrats who are refusing to stop the rioting. How the heck is any of that Trump's fault?? It isn't. These radicals are protesting things they believe have been a problem for centuries. Trump didn't create any of the things they are complaining about. Trump has done a lot of things to try to fix some of the few inequities that still remain in our system, like our criminal justice system (like reversing the draconian crack laws of the Clinton era that unfairly targeted blacks more than whites).
