I saw chyrons on Fox through the day that repeatedly called riots "protests." On Fox. Which is just CNN with fat, red-faced male anchors. The only difference between NBC and Fox is that NBC is being transparent about its censorship/euphemism -- whereas Fox gives these orders behind the scenes, and threatens to fire reporters and contributors for breaking the rules and, I'd imagine, even exposing the existance of the rules. NBC, as biased and leftwing as it is, is clearly announcing its censorship policies here. Is Fox doing the same? Or hiding them, because they know their audience will abandon them en masse if the truth that they're a fundamentally progressive/neoliberal organization is permitted to come out? Yup: Lou Dobbs asked reporter Mike Tobin about not calling the rioters rioters (Tobin was calling them demonstators) but Tobin kind of tried to change the subject. Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr.The orders have gone out from the Neoliberal Brain Trust at Fox. Secret orders, though! Shhhhh!

While the situation on the ground in Minneapolis is fluid, and there has been violence, it is most accurate at this time to describe what is happening there as 'protests'-not riots," NBC host Craig Melvin wrote on Twitter Thursday.

Note to "protestors": don't listen to the white people who have come from some other town or state to "help" you in your "struggle", particularly if they are encouraging you to "protest" in the suburbs. Because if you head to the suburbs to "protest" there will be blood.
They don't care about you, they want blood, and anyone's will do (except of course for their own). Posted by: Ghost of Lee Atwater at May 28, 2020 07:23 PM (nu45M) 54

So let's play along. Create a whole mess of signs that read, "PROTESTERS" while DNC headquarters, msm news stations, and specifically lefty organizations are looted and burned to the ground. Lots of cameras going from every angle - and when opposite, violent reactions from police and the media, we then actually have a basis for the protests - - the fueling of the racial divide in this country by media and cops by selective enforcement of "protests" based on race- - actual evidence not manufactured.

I can't even imagine what was going on in killer cop's head ... looks like he was on his neck for a couple minutes after he was dead, even as the EMT checks for a pulse. .... the other cops say "stay back, let him finish killing him", standing guard.

Bander, really? I don't have any sense of a "typical" case of suspected manslaughter by police, what happens besides the guy being placed on admin leave, at least in the first day or two.
Police aren't a flight risk. I'm not aware of any police perp going on to commit more violent crimes while the incident is reviewed. But I might have missed something. Except for the Obama-worshiping nut LAPD garbage who went up to Lake Arrowhead for his stand-off, can't remember a cop doing anything but meekly showing up for the process if they get prosecuted.

If OD is the case, then the democong establishment is slowwalking information that could could end the riots sooner. Then again, if MPD doesn' want to deal with the source of the problem, i.e, democong traitors on the city council, that's on them.

I really had a lot of compassion for the Floyd situation. It looked terrible what happened. I was in full support of those officers being placed on leave while the investigation unfolded - and if they were found guilty of manslaughter (as I suspect they will be) I will consider justice served.
However the rioting has completely evaporated any good will I had for their community. You don't make your political point by destruction of innocent peoples' property. Bit is Minnedishu. I guess I'm embracing the soft bigotry of low expectations. Posted by: Defenestratus at May 28, 2020 08:38 PM (9V81o) 463

I'm really getting fed up with the Fox News website. Every page has a pop-up asking you to turn off your adblocker (ain't happening). Every single page you go to. On top of that, every page has a "Fox News Flash headlines" video that you also have to shut down too (and if you scroll down the page to read a story, it follows you down).
Fox News is becoming an unpleasant experience. Posted by: Occasional Commenter at May 28, 2020 09:06 PM (Ezw/y) 465

Then it hit me. Not calling the riot a riot may have something to do with the wording of all the businesses insurance policies.
