the issue with your ilk is you assume people wouldn't have protested if they knew Floyd's past, or even that he was high as a kite when he died.

that's a stupid thing to think, they still would have. and in most cases did know, because his Fent tox screen was public knowledge early in the case and was known before the riots on the police precinct and downtown of Minneapolis afaik.

you tend to pretend minorities are violent animals, but then later pretend they're rational and acting only on media misinformation. these types of logical mistakes are the result of your conflicting biases against minorities and the media. changing agency depending on whom u wish to criticize is bad form.

coverage of Michael Brown assaulting a store owner that he just shop lifted from was available day of his death or so, riots still followed.


THe media coverage was deceptive and disproportionate. Its obvious that it was done for ratings and with disregard to the effect it would have on society.

The fair thing here is to have the major media companies go bankrupt so that our society can become a little bit safer.

Its also true that riots don't happen in Republican cities because they use enough force to smash down rioters.

They got to be the way they are because that is the most profitable.

In capitalism news is whatever news product you wish to consume.

The only moral or ethic or responsibility is profitability. Your truth is whatever truth your buying right now, Tailored for your ideology.

The ratings are dropping like anchors, so that may correct itself over time.

Its basically a meme in China that noone watches the news because its all propaganda and the same will probably be true here in a few years.

this type of attack the media just leads to feral cats in australia issues. bring them in to kill the rats and RIP ground nesting birds.

MSM are shit, but bankrupt them and it could still have consequences. most notably that an even less reputable source gets used for news. CNN isnt accountable for much, but look at how unaccountable the Qanon idiots are when they spewed fake deadlines for months on fraud that people acted on.

q anon said date after date after date was the reckoning. Biden took office.

i recognize media have only a tiny sliver of accountability, its just that the alternative have even less.

i think trying to make mainstream media more accountable is a better solution than killing them and letting chaos ensue. i prefer "i heard on CNN" to "i heard on facebook" any day.
