A Minnesota Star Tribune analysis found this counternarrative is shaped by reports from conservative media stars like Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro and others.

The article from OregonLive, published on May 15, 2025, addresses a new narrative propagated by right-wing media regarding the George Floyd and Derek Chauvin case. It fact-checks claims that surfaced suggesting Floyd died from a drug overdose rather than from Chauvin's actions, and that the trial was unfair due to alleged juror misconduct. The piece debunks these assertions by citing the official autopsy report, which concluded that Floyd's death was a homicide caused by neck compression, and by referencing the thorough judicial process that included extensive jury selection and sequestration to ensure impartiality. The article emphasizes that these new claims are baseless and part of a broader effort to undermine the legitimacy of the trial's outcome.
