Here's one exaggerated incident: https://nypost.com/2020/08/17/blm-mob-beat-white-man-unconsc...
They exaggerate that the mob dragged a man out of his car, and they exaggerate that he was kicked in the head and rendered unconscious. In fact, they exaggerate so much that they had to take him into the ER. To me, it paints a completely misleading picture that in Portland you could be run off the road, dragged out of the car and beaten unconscious. Surely if reported properly, they'd notice there are thousands of people in Portland who weren't beaten senseless that night, so we'd better focus on that.
The incidents reported are reality, however that doesn't mean the picture being painted isn't misleading.
