CNN may be a poor choice for an example. Not very many people watch that much.
If the thugs want to burn down their city, don’t let them out of the area. Do not rebuild. Wall it up and make them stay in there.
Bttt
As it should. Nice story. In the Tampa Bay area we have the Tampa Bay Times, formally known as the St Petersburg Times. Same garbage, different name.
CNN is doing what Obamas people are directing them to do. That IS how it works said at least one former CNN Employee.
This rant of yours is neither news nor activism....perhaps you might move it to general chat or something.
So true.
It’s social media that is moving the masses out to the streets.

They’d like you to think this was all spontaneous, but they are organized and someone is funding the protest.

They are organized, they are obviously being paid by someone or some entity because no one flies around the country for free.
The second amendment permits it. I see no exceptions for released felons there. Any one who cannot be trusted with a weapon should not be running around loose, but that's another issue...
The knife issue I referred to earlier (jurisdiction & probation issues):

In all seriousness, why would a newspaper bother kowtowing to such a non-reading population?
“In all seriousness, why would a newspaper bother kowtowing to such a non-reading population?”
I think they do read it. There’s something we call the Tallahassee ‘Tude. One example of it is when black clerks go out of their way with body language to tell white customers just how little they care. Other examples occur at places like the gym where they do things like glare at you when you might have gotten too close to their space. It’s so noticeable that people talk about it, once another patron leaving a store who also experienced a rude black clerk. I’ve had people tell me that it doesn’t occur where they’re from.
Keeping the race issue hot is why they do this and Ferguson and what’s going on now in Baltimore. It’s the whole George Zimmerman disaster. It’s how the Democraps hold onto their constituency. Yes, I’m sure a lot don’t read the paper, but so do (or, don’t, rather) a lot of whites. I recall seeing the black floor workers at both companies I worked at here reading the paper, so it does happen.
Incidentally, I think the ‘Tude is much reduced now. Possibly it has to do with fewer total people reading the paper or, possibly, the paper isn’t that bad anymore. I wouldn’t know as I wouldn’t let it into my house.
I see. I work with a number of blacks, and only a few of the older ones read papers (I guess that might be related to technology as well). We don’t have black-themed papers here, but they are all liberal (and hurting financially). As more and more foreigners replace Americans here, the papers struggle because many of the remaining Americans don’t trust them and the foreigners can’t read them (though Spanish-language papers seem popular).
