Trump's military occupation of American cities is unpopular. The media is trying to manufacture consent for it.

Donald Trump’s military assault on America’s cities has been denounced by legal and national security experts as an “authoritarian power grab” that is “dangerous for liberty” and “an absolute seizing control of our country through our own military used against us” in an attempt to “dominate” the American people.

Trump’s power grab is also unpopular: A new Quinnipiac poll finds that Americans oppose Trump’s move to send troops to the streets of Washington, DC by a 15-point margin, with independents rejecting the move by nearly 30 points. That’s despite the fact that Quinnipiac’s poll question was biased in Trump’s favor. (More on that later.)

That poll finding might comes as a surprise to you. The nation’s media elites have been working overtime these last few weeks framing Trump’s moves not as an authoritarian effort to seize power but as a bold effort to fight crime – and insisting that the public is with Trump:
