Obama Did Not Watch St. Louis County Prosecutor’s Announcement
CBS News ^ | 11/25/14 | CBSDC/AP

President Barack Obama appealed for calm and understanding in Ferguson on Monday after a grand jury decided not to indict in the death of Michael Brown, pleading with both residents and police officers to show restraint.

“We are a nation built on the rule of law, so we need to accept that this decision was the grand jury’s to make,” Obama said.

CBS News reports that Obama did not watch St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch’s announcement, but his aides did and briefed him. It was the fifth time Obama addressed Brown’s death.

Obama knew the outcome weeks ago.

Obama is a lie in a suit.

It is difficult to stare at yourself preening in a mirror and watch TV at the same time.

Probably the same thing he was doing the night of the Benghazi thing

Why should he?

He knew what was coming.

Funny how he showed the exact same interest when the attack in Benghazi was taking place, no interest because it was expected.

Wouldn’t want to be confused with the truth, y’know.

I'm waiting in vain for some reporter to ask a random marcher what it's all about. I'm guessing they would express a staggering level of ignorance about the case but would, of course, be able to recite a litany of cliches.

A FOX News cameraman was attacked by a mask-wearing thug when the reporter tried to ask why the rioter thought looting a liquor store was an appropriate response to the no bill decision. Broke the camera; the reporter later came back on reporting over his smartphone.

As a famous radio talker said, the media do their job for other media; the audience is incidental.

That said, if you’re Fox why not camouflage yourself? Why not apply a Greenpeace sticker to your camera or wear a Che T-shirt? Access = information = exclusives and you just might document illegality. All the logos, satellite trucks, etc. are 20th century. Journalism, like combat, is not longer conducted in uniform with tidy little rules. These people don’t watch Fox anyway so they wouldn’t recognize a reporter.
