I don't know if I'm just paying less attention to discourse or if this is an actual thing. Just a thought.
minus-squareSorosFootSoldier [he/him, they/them]hexbear35·2 years agoI dunno CNN has been covering it pretty well, I hate to defend fucking CNN here but I'm being fair. There's really not much to say about the protests other than they've been small and peaceful. link
minus-squarewaterfox [none/use name]hexbear7·2 years agoNo need to be fair to CNN. Remember when they got caught red-handed planting debate questions? video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yxSR50x5JY They deliberately encourage copycats in order to boost ratings. Millions of people tune into the news when a shooting happens. Here is an example of the media glorifying a killer for ratings: 30 second Video: Sheriff asks media not to report Oregon shooter's name, CNN ignores request and does it anyway, including publishing his social media comments. (Note: video was edited by uploader to censor CNN's publishing of the shooter's name) It's worth it to watch that clip a few times. It's so insane that we allow this. link
