Partisan framing? Its PBS, why ever would a public news service be presenting partisan talking points instead of being a neutral news source?

It's not even partisan framing lol. This is the most basic analysis you can do which is why it's so uninteresting.

Does she use that twitter account as her "official PBS twitter" or just her personal account?

The best you can get here is probably that it's partisan framing, but that doesn't even hold if it's just her personal opinion. Journalists are allowed to have personal opinions after all.

However, as tcock said, even that is something you're gonna have to put up a better argument for.

"Direct rebuke" is not accurate IMO. It was an implicit rebuke.

Also framing it as "attacking actions by people protesting police brutality" strikes me as partisan. It's technically correct, but there's more objective(and fair) ways to state what is happening.

Mostly peaceful firebombs and shooting.

Mostly unarmed man with a knife shot by cops.

Fair, "implicit" would be a more accurate way of framing it. It would also be more accurate to say "some actions" instead of "actions."

But this Molie girl characterized it as "completely insane" and "viciously attacking" and "having far-left political views." I stand by my original analysis that Molie is indeed a snowflake.

The knife was in his car. They may as well have claimed he had a collection of steak knives at home to justify the shooting, and it would have the same logic.

If I have Japanese kinfes at home am I a terrorist? Or maybe a samauri terrorist.

I think you should avoid police after making this admission.

"He stole a bag of skittles when he was 7 and had a collection of knives at home. The police shooting him in the head 17 times at point blank range while restrained and unconscious was absolutely justified."

We are dealing with a slightly different case here, though. A violent and deranged criminal who may have been abducting children was shot after he repeatedly resisted arrest and non-lethal attempts to subdue him. It's looking increasingly clear that he was also armed.
