Media Panicked Over July 4 Psyop Marchers While Ignoring the Fraud Indictment Against SPLC
Every major network erupted over masked marchers walking through Washington on the Fourth of July.
Almost nobody mentioned the timing lines up with a live federal fraud case most reporters forgot about.
One indictment explains why this march landed exactly when the cameras were already rolling.
Newsrooms Lost Their Minds Right on Schedule
Hundreds of masked men in khaki pants and matching blue shirts showed up in Washington on July 4.
Reuters had a photographer on the same Metro car and captured a Black woman surrounded by the masked group.
CNN, MSNBC and every wire service ran with it within hours.
Sen. Ed Markey said "hatred and bigotry" have no place in the country.
CNN's Dana Bash used Sunday's State of the Union to hammer Interior Secretary Doug Burgum over it.
"What they stand for is nothing that I could possibly agree with," Burgum said.
Bash kept pushing anyway.
Every outlet asked the same question about condemnation.
Not one asked who benefits from hundreds of masked men showing up on America's 250th birthday.

That is the question that actually matters.
No one asked why none of these marchers have tattoos.

The Group That Names Hate Is Under Indictment for Funding It
Patriot Front was born in 2017 out of the wreckage of the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally.
Streiff at RedState reported that the Charlottesville rally itself was organized and subsidized by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The SPLC is the same organization that slapped the "hate group" label on Patriot Front and never let go.
Newsrooms treat that label as gospel every single time Patriot Front shows up on a conservative holiday.
Here is what those newsrooms skipped this weekend.
A grand jury in Montgomery indicted the SPLC in April on 11 counts including wire fraud and money laundering.
Prosecutors allege the SPLC hid more than $3 million in payments to operatives connected to the KKK, Aryan Nations and neo-Nazi groups over nearly a decade, funneled through bank accounts tied to fake companies.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche did not mince words about it.
"The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence," Blanche said.
The Gateway Pundit raised the same question this weekend about how many Patriot Front "field sources" are tied to the SPLC.
A group facing federal charges for secretly bankrolling hate groups is still the outlet television producers call to decide who counts as one.
Suspicious Timing Is Not a Coincidence
Patriot Front has marched on cue before, and it marched again the moment cameras were guaranteed.
The march happened on the one day guaranteed to draw a full press corps and a captive national audience.
Nobody assigned to cover this march thought to ask who gave them orders.

An organization staring down a criminal indictment needs a distraction, and a distraction just walked through Washington in khakis.
Funny how that works.
