After desperately trying to gin up media coverage of student protests at the University of Missouri, one of the school's media professors is now furiously trying to "muscle" the press off campus to prevent them from covering student protests that rapidly spiraled out of control Monday. Mizzou president Timothy Wolfe announced his resignation on Monday after members of the school's 4-5 football team announced they would boycott team activities unless the school acceded to certain demands surrounding racial equality. Unsurprisingly, Wolfe's resignation did little to quell the mob.
On Monday afternoon, activists who had demanded Wolfe's resignation abruptly demanded that media stop covering their activities on the public campus of the taxpayer-funded university. At the center of those demands was Melissa Click, an assistant professor of mass media within Mizzou's communications department. In the video below, you can see Click ask for "muscle" to help her bully a Mizzou student into not covering the ongoing mob protests:
"You need to get out, you need to get out," Melissa Click demanded of the person filming the protest. "You need to get out," she continued before trying to grab the camera out of the videographer's hands.
"I actually don't," the journalist told Click.
"Hey, who wants to help me get this reporter out of here," the media professor then hysterically exclaimed to the assembled mob. "I need some muscle over here!"
According to her bio on the University of Missouri website, Melissa Click specializes in "audience studies, theories of gender and sexuality, and media literacy"...

I agree...it IS the “Post of the Day”!
Agreed!
Post of the Day!
Where is this excerpt from, MrB?
It’s about time to reread that book (been about 15 years), but I’ve been reluctant to get started, since even back then too much of it was coming true.
Atlas Shrugged
I read it many years ago, and I skipped a lot of the soliloquies.
On weekends, Melissa Click works as a Carrot Top impersonator.
Thank you!
I don’t think that Ms. Click is very big in front of audiences who are not students whom she controls via her grades.
She’d be more likely to have carrots (and other rotten veggies) thrown at her if she was in front of a paying audience.

He may not have been at that meeting, but it *WAS* his organization:
FBI Informant Reveals Weather Underground Advocated "Killing 25 Million Americans."
I asked, "well what is going to happen to those people we can't
reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" and the reply was that
they'd have to be eliminated.
And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to
eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.
And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill."
Twenty-five million people.
I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which
have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational
centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination
of 25 million people.
And they were dead serious.
Is that her on the far left?
What are the job prospects for someone who majors in Radical Queer Gender Studies?
Thanks GOPJ.
Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand.
I’ve read it 3 or 4 times over the last 42 years, and I always make myself plow through the speeches, even John Galt’s 52-pager.
