There’s a good reason protesters at the University of Missouri didn’t want the media around
Washington Post ^ | 11/11/15 | Terrell Jermaine Starr

These student protesters were not a government entity stonewalling access to public information or a public official hiding from media questions. They were young people trying to create a safe space from not only the racism they encounter on campus, but the insensitivity they encounter in the news media.

Pathetic. Newspaper journalism is gone. Does not exist anymore. Propaganda is all they put out.

Maybe they’ll be a tad more sympathetic to other folks who are getting disgusted with media manipulations. To be honest, I don’t know if Tai et al. were making it into a circus, but there is certainly a lot of MSM precedent for it if they were.

While “feelings” can not be allowed to be the tail that wags the dog, they can be an alert that something wrong is afoot. Even the proverbial blind squirrel sometimes gets acorns.

Has this country ever raised a generation more infantilized than this current crop? All they ever talk about is pain and hurt. You're in college for crissakes! These are the best years of your lives! Go out and have fun!!!

No, his self chosen class has to trample on everyone else before he’s going to be happy.

Piece of the pie, his arse. He wants to be lord and master of the pie.

So every time someone, anyone, anywhere, anytime, cries safe-zone, the press are supposed to promptly clear out and leave?

And then, when they want the press to return for the dog and pony show, the press have to come running back.

Does this rule also apply to the police? — everyone has to turn off their cellphone cameras when the police order them to.

Terrell J. Starr's name became buzz-worthy when an article about his love life went viral. Disclosing that he has not been on a date since 1998, MadameNoire was intrigued to find out why. Noted as a multi-lingual, Peace Corp alum and Fulbright Scholar with no debt, the Detriot native revealed what is holding him back from dating all these years - his income.
