They see the bright lights, they see correspondents who are openly sympathetic to the protestors, and it’s become a nightly reality show.

And just as real.

Oh, I'm not saying there aren't people getting hurt, that things aren't getting stolen or destroyed--they are.

But the media propagated concept that somehow, a white policeman decided to confront an innocent and mercilessly gun him down in broad daylight while he was trying to surrender is an apparent fiction, and yet that fiction is what is driving the reality of destruction.

Instead of the media stepping up to the plate and doing their best to condemn the destruction, they have been justifying it, and in doing so they present us all with the story of hubris run rampant in the face of contrary facts, to the degree that the violence will persist--not just in Missouri, but wherever it can be further incited.

If that isn't a crime, it ought to be.

There's the real story.

I have noticed a new swing to modern so called journalism. The bias is no longer enough, now they are actively inserting themselves into the story rather than pretending to report.

One of the Fox reporters said a week ago Ferguson had become “It’s about us.”

My take on it Joe is that all the reporters are still there because they have the ‘Command Center’ as a safe haven to regroup and refresh each day. If the command center completely shut down and went away, leaving the media on their own, they would promptly skedaddle! Otherwise, they would be overrun by the ferals clamoring/fighting for their facetime in front of the cameras. The ones that don’t get stolen that is.
