One of their idiot producers had one of their idiot grunts tail the jury bus like he was the fucking Brother Seamus from Big Lebowski. Spooked the cops and now Schroeder says they're barred from the courthouse.
Good God this whole thing is just peak distilled collapsing empire insanity
What liberals ought to do is decry this at the loudest possible volume, just like the right would do if it were Fox that got banned. Injustice! They're operating in secret! They don't want transparency! Etc.
What liberals will do is: nothing.
lol as if the right were trying to hide this shit, they do not care in the slightest
the hypocrisy is the point, the whole thing of the right is that they want to have rights while you explicitly don’t
liberals doing nothing is about as effective as them complaining about this

:yes-chad:
Yeah, the best and only thing liberals can do is become leftists and bring out the guillotines
If Rittenhouse walks out of that courthouse, I hope he doesn't get very far.
In Minecraft, of course.
Meh. He's a seventeen year old idiot. Nothing much would change if he got whacked, except that it might stoke the hogs to apoplexy. I honestly don't think killing him would help anything. It wouldn't garner any support from the Lib majority. And a distressing number of leftists seem to buy in to the bullshit idea that a fascist can act in self defense, so we wouldn't gain much there. And of course the hogs would go ballistic.
It's really upsetting how many left and left adjacent people can't seem to get it in their heads that the mere existence of a fascist is a lethal threat to everyone around them. This kid is a perfect example of that threat; Fash want to kill, and they will find a way to kill. "Self Defense" isn't anywhere in the framing.
I have no doubt that Rachael Maddow will do a five minute rant about the First Amendment Under Attack. And her audience will be told, in no uncertain terms, that the real victims of Kenosha are corporate media advertisement executives.
Does it really matter how many clownshow reporters follow this case? The results will break, and there will be protests or there will be protests.
I could understand getting upset if this was the Donzinger trial that barely got any coverage but this case is pure spectacle. Wall to wall coverage of cases like this suck all the air out of the room and shut down critical reporting in other areas.
I am saying that liberals should create more spectacle about their liberal news getting banned.
It's not like they're doing anything real, anyway.
yeah but why do we need to fill our brains with it? the spectacle is mind poison.
My favorite aspect of this are libertarian weirdos like Glenn Greenwald acting like this is a good thing lol
What the fuck is wrong with Glenn? I swear he used to be cool but all of his takes in the last few months have been dogshit with a seasoning of fash apologia. What's in the water in Brazil?
What the fuck is wrong with Glenn?
He hates MSNBC with a frothing passion, because the network is completely owned and operated by spooks. So any time anyone at the company fucks up, he's on the sidelines with an air-horn ready to heckle them with abandon.
Dude's got a terminal case of Twitter brain.
The reporter guy ran a red light in following the bus I guess, and there's been guns and fights outside the courthouse. Cops are on edge.

Seems the cops are on a power trip. I'd assume the cops goal is to fuel the perception that the jury is 'under threat' for doing their job.
"Last night a person who is alleging to be affiliated with a national media outlet..." I'm not buying that the police could not verify this within minutes.
I think its telling they arrested two people who got into a minor scuffle yesterday on the courthouse steps, but the right-wing guy who showed up with an assault rifle they just politely asked to put the gun away.
They are under threat if the media is stalking them outside the courtroom. There is no good reason why a member of the press needs to be tracking down jury members, during a trial, outside of the courtroom.
It's generally ill-advised to do anything at all that involves the jury no matter who you are tbh.
This trial is a circus clownshow, but MSNBC and the rest of cable news are clownshow organizations that have clownshow behavior like this. I don't think there's anything particularly "journalistic" about following the jury bus like paparazzi.
damn, I thought there was a guy in a trench-coat with a notebook watching everyone all the time in case news happened? How far journalism has fallen
