Is the media trying to get Ferguson police office Darren Wilson lynched?
CNN broadcast a report Friday that showed the house, including the street number, of the Ferguson police officer who police say shot Mike Brown. The officer has been in hiding due to death threats since the shooting last Saturday. His name, Darren Wilson, was just released Friday morning.
Another news outlet apologized for broadcasting video of Wilson’s home while others have virtually drawn a map to Wilson’s house for those bent on vengeance.
Yahoo News named the community Wilson where Wilson resides and published a photograph of the officer.
The UK Daily Mail also named the community, posted photos of the officer and gave a description of the house.
USA Today also named the community and reported a local police presence.
The Washington Post named the street where Wilson lives.
In the video report, CNN reporter Ed Lavandera is seen walking in the street where Wilson lives. The CNN video shows a wide view of Wilson’s house and then pans around the street to show its relative position in the neighborhood. While Lavandera does not name the street, he gives its approximate location.
Every news report says neighbors told them Wilson has not been home for several days.
A version of the video being aired by CNN affiliate Newschannel 13 in Orlando, Florida (and likely other affiliates around the country including the St. Louis market) shows a brief close-up of the house number by the front door such that someone could freeze and enlarge the image to get the address.
The version of the report available online at CNN has that footage edited and replaced with a close-up of a front window of Wilson’s house.

"St. Louis TV station KSDK, which like USA Today is owned by Gannett, issued an apology Saturday afternoon for broadcasting video of Wilson’s home."
Well then, alrighty.

The left has definitely acted as a lynch mob in this case. The mob would’ve strung him up already if they could’ve found him.
The new season of “Two Minutes Hate.”
“Apologies” are cheap these days and almost always come with a wink and a smirk. Charges should be brought against these “media” ***holes. Endangerment involving a substantial risk of death is a class 6 felony in Arizona. I imagine that it’s a felony in Missouri too.
In Florida law enforcement is protected by law. You can’t locate them using any government records. But the rest of us can be found by plugging our names into Google and our tax records pop right up. It’s ideal for stalkers who want to do something bad to you. Frankly, I think the rest of us deserve the same treatment that law enforcement gets. Either that or they get no more than we do as it’s unlikely anybody will stalk a cop, or, less likely anyway. A former prosecutor told me he’d never once been threatened while in that job, but as a divorce lawyer he’d had angry men meet him in the parking lot at his office and at his door at home. He said when prosecuting you’re dealing with very bad men on their best behavior. But when working a divorce case you’re dealing with good men on their worst behavior.
Obama’s America.
Fifth-column KSDK's apology would be more believable if the station manager and reporter resigned (or ate a bullet) in contrition. Otherwise, the media skanks' apology is equivalent to used toilet paper.
Paging Mr. Zimmerman.
The MSM can not be trusted with anything.
They probably have reporters/cameramen posted nearby the house, watching to see if anything “newsworthy” happens!
Typical liberal BS. Do something dirty and then issue a phony, worthless apology afterword.
We should outlaw the use of apologies by liberals.
That probably will not make it in the MSM reports.

Has Mr. Wilson, who must be young, been charged with a crime? Is he still in the St. Louis area or has he fled for self-protection?
I worry about what happens next.
Even if the rioting is over, hopefully it is, there is much more yet to come.
There will be pressures for an indictment for 1st degree murder. The mobs will react to whatever happens, if this case goes to a grand jury.
If the DA declines to prosecute, or a grand jury doesn’t return an indictment, the mobs may well go crazy again.
If we have a trial, then the mob will want conviction of 1st degree murder. Any outcome less than that, the mob may well go crazy yet again.
So, sad to say, the rioting and unrest is only Part 1. Part 2 will be getting an indictment or a special prosecutor or federal investigation. Part 3 will be the actual trial. Further violence can easily happen if the mob doesn’t like the results which happen as other things happen in this case.
Perhaps we need an interactive map of the locations of the homes of MSM reporters, editors and executives.
While we are at it, include abortion clinics, their operators, staff and owners.
Congressional staffers who wrote the Obamacare Act.
IRS executives
TSA executives
Judges who strike down pro-life and pro-marriage laws duly passed by state referendum or legislature.

(we can’t have angry people running around knowing where the objects of their anger live, can we? Why, that would lead to anarchy, right?)
(on the other hand, “What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.”)
Didn’t Gannett own the one of the NY newspapers that published a list of CCW permit holders?
The media would love this cop to be killed, that is their biggest wish..notice with everything going on in Ferguson, no mention of the genocide going on in Iraq, or Syria, or Nigeria, not a peep..because all those things make Obama look bad so the media wants everyone to focus on something else
