A CBS News photojournalist from Phoenix, Arizona, lost his marbles in Washington, DC Saturday evening near the White House at the Black Lives Matter Plaza, setting himself on fire while screaming, "I am a journalist. We spread the misinformation."

Sam Mena Jr, a photojournalist for ​AZFamily KTVK 3TV and KPHO CBS 5 News, set his left arm on fire while attempting self-immolation during a pro-Palestinian rally near the White House. He shouted, "Free Palestine!", and "I'm a journalist and I'm ashamed! We spread the misinformation!" 

Mena's X account flies two flags.

Just before the incident, the MSM photojournalist posted a lengthy blog post to his website, telling anyone who read the post exactly what he was going to do:

What's very concerning is that the MSM photojournalist, who possibly had a few screws loose, was just feet from former President Trump during a press conference in Arizona late last month. 

Mena reposted this. 

So he said "We spread the misinformation"… yet not a fan of X's 'free spech'….? Confusing. 

Mena's website overall shows he has become disenchanted by news coverage of MSM's Israel-Gaza war.
