CNN = Fox Lite … only 96 calories and slightly less brain damage.

It is called this man’s First Amendment rights to be able to call cops pigs and not be arrested, or beat up, or have rubber bullets fired at him. That is not provoking and he did nothing physically to provoke, AND in case you forget those cops shouted and said some pretty racist things to the protestors, one caught by one of these citizen journalists even pointing a gun at protestors doing nothing but walking by, and shouting “I will effing kill you.” What you did was prove Mr.Masri’s point about CNN’s reporting, when you say they were “trying to provoke police”. FYI, if cops can’t take being called pigs, without getting violent themselves, then is that not the whole problem in Ferguson? Evidently Mr. Stelter, it is YOU who just does not GET IT!

More like weed to Fox’s rotgut. Makes you stupid if you become a chronic user but if you quit, you’ll only miss it a day or two and the stupid clears right up within a week or two.

“I don’t mean any of that stuff that I said”
Oh, he’s a Republican then. Both of these clowns are useless.

“Aren’t we trying to poke the _____ here, trying to get more views, maybe?” Stelter, a serious White man asked the Angry Colored man.
Controlling the narrative? This interview proves the guest’s point if you ask me.

“Even if I didn’t work with Sarah, I’d say that’s pretty disturbing to watch, it’s scary stuff,”
Maybe if you’re an effete little pussy who can’t stand up for himself. Oh woe is CNN, poor poor victim of a shouting-down, while its massive audience and media empire effectively functions as a shouting-down of the truth and the rest of society in service to manipulating and selling the narrative they’d prefer rather than the narrative reality handed them. Someone get me some tissues while I weep tears of blood for the sorely abused MSM media empire.

I watched the Ferguson demonstrations 24/7 on citizen media and it was excellent. There was actually very little commentary on the best ones, a complete willingness to show demonstrators as well as cops in a negative light and simply none of the endless drivel and biased, selective coverage of MSM. It was citizen media that captured the worst of cop behavior; CNN, in the interest of something or another did have some fairly good reporting but that blonde woman (I happily forget her name) made certain that the news commentary maintained its usual moronic level. This clip is a fascinating and transparent effort to discredit anything that resembles a truly free press.

So we’ve got morons interviewing idiots who wish they were morons.
This nation has long-simmering original sin type race problems that go way, way beyond Darren Wilson capping Mike Brown. But we ain’t allowed to talk about them.

This is CNN…doing damage control.
They’ve been caught repeatedly by protesters in Ferguson and in St. Louis agitating for some kind of altercation between LEOs and protesters, and are now pissed off they’ve been called out on it. They’ve also been shown repeatedly with cameras off filming nothing at all during live protest marches, because they’ve been peaceful and had no altercations. When asked directly about it by protesters, they run away. It’s all documented, so what’s Stelter in all his lily-white privilege is trying to accomplish is beyond me.
I mean really…who’s trying to re-write a narrative here? I don’t think it’s the citizen journalists.

CNN’s truth is the only truth.
trying to get more views, maybe?" Stelter said.
Sorta chaff’s my hinee to have a CNN anchor accusing someone of trying to provoke when CNN has been running nothing but fear-provoking Ebola and Isis stories for the last four months.
Even this interview felt to me like just more of the “Don’t fear cops who kill, fear black people who protest” meme we’ve been getting from CNN ever since they starting covering the Ferguson story. That certainly seems, to me, much more like an effort to “poke” viewers in order to “get more views,” than some kid shouting names at police.

I can understand being angry and getting to the point of wanting to yell or beat the crap out of someone, hey I have kids, but once you’ve calmed down you have to go back and apologize. And too much yelling, even if it’s about legitimate grievances, can start to get like Rush and the other right wing provokers that push some folks over the edge.
