CNN’s Brian Stelter offended at the suggestion that vandalism has made New York City look ‘shattered by thuggery’

In Tuesday night’s “Reliable Sources” newsletter, CNN’s Brian Stelter debunked the “riot” lie about New York City, of course using Fox News’ reporting as the basis for his disgust; you see, Fox News was using days-old footage in its reporting about the riots.

Look, I live in Manhattan and I hated what happened in this city on May 31 and June 1. The looting and mayhem was appalling. But it was more than a week ago. The graffiti has been scrubbed off the bodega on my block. The broken windows have been cleaned up. And today I noticed the city’s garbage can — taken away last week because vandals were lighting fires in them — back on my building’s corner today. I took it as a small but telling sign that things are getting back to normal. It is grossly misleading to show old video of looters on a loop while omitting what’s going on today.

The New York Post’s op-ed editor noticed that Stelter had used Twitter’s new feature to limit replies to his tweet

Well that changes everything.

Has he donated to The Human Fund yet?

Apparently George Costanza was hired by CNN after the Seinfeld Series ended.

I for one am sick and tired of these MSM bobble head hacks that think their opinions count or matter.

I’m tired of the “news” being the discussion point.

New York City is experiencing a loss of population, jobs and a decline in commercial and residential real estate values. Foreigners are no longer investing in pricey urban real estate as a safe haven for their wealth. Businesses that can work via personal computers, the internet, zoom etc are realizing that they do not need large, expensive urban offices. Rich liberals, as expected are behaving like the hypocrites they are, and are moving out of the City. Most of the closed and ruined brick and mortar businesses will never re-open.

The Media will hide the truth as long as possible but when the financial shortfall begins to bite they will tell the rest of America how racist it is not to send the likes of Garcetti and DeBlasio their money to underwrite decadent, non viable Democrats.

You would think you could find 100s of pictures of the boarded up stores in midtown Manhattan and the upper Eastside.

But you can't

Could the MSM be withholding them just as they witheld many of the more graphic 9/11/ pictures?

This looks like something that Project Veritas, Infowars, or OAN could take on.

I’m not sure why anyone would want to do anything to repair NYC other than put up plywood.
