Why Does The Media Lie About Street Protesters? with Jeremy Lee Quinn

Recorded July 28, 2025 Who are the protesters behind America’s most volatile demonstrations? Are they lifelong activists, opportunists, or something else entirely? This week, Meghan Daum speaks with photojournalist Jeremy Lee Quinn, who has spent the past five years documenting political unrest in cities from Santa Monica to Portland to Los Angeles. In his forthcoming book Culture of Confusion, Jeremy explores how militant tactics like black bloc develop, why media narratives often fall short, and how rebellion sometimes shades into performance. In this conversation, he and Meghan discuss: The viral tactic of black bloc—what it looks like and what it means Firsthand accounts from protests, riots, and clashes with law enforcement Molotov cocktails, burned-out Waymo cars, and other striking images The uneasy overlap between political conviction and theatrical display This episode offers a grounded, eye-level look at the protest movements that have shaped the last decade—and why they remain so misunderstood. #JeremyLeeQuinn #Protests #BlackBloc #UnspeakablePodcast #MeghanDaum Guest bio: Jeremy Lee Quinn is a photojournalist and reporter who has covered protests and political unrest since 2020.
