Julio Rosas, senior writer for Townhall and the author of "Fiery but Mostly Peaceful: The 2020 Riots and the Gaslighting of America," joined me at the Turning Point Action Conference in Palm Beach, Florida, to delve into the rise of citizen journalism and the necessity of wading into the most dangerous situations to expose the worst behavior\\u2014even if that means filming the riots from inside the raging crowds.

When CNN, MSNBC, and other left-leaning outlets cherry-picked their coverage of the 2020 riots, Rosas stepped in to broadcast them open and unedited\\u2014even if that meant stepping in harm\\u2019s way:

The political and media ecosphere said [the riots] weren\\u2019t an issue, that \\u2018you\\u2019re just exaggerating, it\\u2019s a mostly peaceful protest, we aren\\u2019t grooming kids.\\u2019 Now we can respond, \\u2018What are you talking about? I know this is happening because I\\u2019m seeing it firsthand.\\u2019

Rosas thinks that seeing footage of riots and school board meetings encouraged more Americans to become politically active.

\\u201cIt\\u2019s going to motivate people to get more involved\\u2014I think we\\u2019ve seen more of a reaction to everything, and [riots and public schools] are just two issues," he said.

In this episode of \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast,\\u201d Rosas outlines what changed in American society after people were shown footage of progressive activism that legacy media had previously ignored.
