It's not that the MSM lies, but many times, they tell partial truths. "Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6" https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/12/16/fact-check-no-trump-request-10000-guard-troops-jan-6/8929215002/ The headline from this "fact check" article, is a partial truth. Yes, former President Trump never ordered the Troops because when offered, Nancy Pelosi and the Mayor of Washington, DC turned down the offer because they didn't want tourists to see all the National Guardsmen in DC. "Trump wanted troops to protect his supporters at Jan. 6 rally" https://www.reuters.com/world/us/congresswoman-says-trump-administration-botched-capitol-riot-preparations-2021-05-12/ This headline is also a partial truth. Former President Trump wanted the National Guard there to protect EVERYONE, and ensure that there were no riots or fights. His former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller testified before the Unselect Committee as such. The MSM (Corporate Media) in America is, quite frankly, disgusting.
