As violence escalated in Charlotte, N.C. Wednesday night, reporters became part of the story as protesters turned on the media.
CNN anchor Don Lemon stopped the broadcast feed as a CNN camera crew was confronted by rioters who attempted to block the camera yelling “F**king liars!”
“As happens in these particular situations, the crowd gets out of control and then they try to assault or at least intimidate our camera people and our news people,” Lemon said.
Fox News reporter Steve Harrigan got into a verbal confrontation with a woman he was interviewing when she accused him of wanting video to “make a f**king fabricated story” about what was going on.

Calling these rioters ‘protesters’ is like calling Rodney King a ‘motorist’. The terminology employed in creating a false narrative creates fallacious presumptions.
Sounds like there were some FReepers there.
First of all, as part of the elite they figure they're immune to the violence. The other part of a reason is that they hold us Deplorables in more contempt than they do the black rioters. In their warped minds they want to bond with the thugs.
I saw it too, but then I heard the idiot say that the guy who knocked him over must have been frustrated and took it out on him. Stupid liberals. This is the result of years of leftists in schools and the media talking about “white privilege” and saying blacks couldn’t be racist because they have no power.
These are the monsters that have been created.
A media specialty.
oh, media’s exiting because it’s become unsafe, but only after exacerbating the situation and leaving it very, very unsafe for law enforcement. Nice, guys, really nice.
“If these throw-backs hadn’t learned the f-word, they’d have to grunt.”
Volumes of truth to each word in your statement. I’m serious.
fratricide?
The media fan the flames all day then are shocked when they get burned at night. You reap what you sow.
CNN is turning into the Censorhip News Network....just cut the feed or go to commercial when some event or person gets of message as far as CNN is concerned.
I beat em to it...i dont watch em.
Didn’t Soros tell them that THE MEDIA IS ON THEIR SIDE?
“Black Lives Matter” is just “Occupy Wall Street” version 2.0. [Now more cremulant!]
It is controlled by the same people, but they are making the same mistake in that the ‘ground troops’ are too stupid to understand what is going on.
And just like the morons crapping on Police Cars in OWS, BLM rioters are just as stupid to understand that the media is ON THEIR SIDE.
These people are not angry. They are happy that they have the opportunity to loot and destroy. This is not a protest. This is a celebration. Just look at the smiles on these people’s faces as they loot and destroy.
A black cop from a police force headed by a black man kills a black man with gun and the black people destroy their own town in retaliation.
Bizzaro world? Or Obama’s world?
“This rioting crap has been ALLOWED to take place.”
Yes, seems like part of a plan.
ONE plan is to Federalize local police forces, at least in cities.
I think the other part is to make the streets unsafe for people who might not vote “D” in November.
It could be something deeper and more repugnant. Clearly allowing riots to start is what the rulers want.
Hey CNN I realize you’re trying hard to find the blame Republican angle on this one, but you won’t find it. BLM hates you media people as much as they hate everyone else.
Karma is a bitch, isn’t it? The media helped to create this monster, and now that it is rampaging through the countryside they act shocked and terrified that it would dare to turn on them. Well, evil recognizes no face or color, it simply destroys what it touches. They are being swept away by the storm they have brought on us all.
“Charlotte is a city where no intelligent life forms are in control.”
So, your saying it’s a city run by Democrats. Correct?
No. That was a white communist ...
The Black Community has been left behind, taken from the ‘southern plantations’ and set in the ‘inter city plantations’ for the Democrat purposes...to control, to use when needed, to sit in whatever condition the Democrats want them in...
This Black Lives Matter group are being paid by George Soros, they don't even know what they are protesting, they are just doing it for the money...
Are they frustrated, oh yes they are, but hey some money coming from somewhere, heck why not they decide...what have we got to lose, we are nothing anyway...
This is what the Democrats like to hear...this is what they want...but what the Democrats don't understand, someone has come along and said to them there is no reason to keep living like this, come with me, lets work this out, lets talk...
How long has it been since someone went into the belly of the beast and said these words? It's been since Martin Luther King said some of these words...so some of them are thinking why not listen, what do we have to lose, we live like slaves so lets at least listen, so some of them are listening...are they enough to prevent this type of behavior, it will take time, if they just give the ones that are starting to listen will come back and say, listen what do you have to lose?
These riots are caused by frustration, and media to get a story, to throw gas in the middle of frustration, the media knows exactly what they are doing, they know when they say the cops are not their friends, they know when they say that the Democrats are their friends that really it's a lie, the media is 99.9% of the problem...instead of standing and watching and trying to find out what is the problem, they film, make really stupid comments, and write lies...and when they get caught in the middle of this frustration, they get attacked, they forget that these frustrated group know the media lies...they can read well enough to know that, so the media screams for the cops to help, the ‘pigs’ as they call them, the very people in their stories that they put down, stomp their feet on in their lying stories they think are the greatest pieces ever written...
Well this isn't the way America is, and the media knows this, but they have to ‘invent’ stories because people don't believe them anymore, we have read so many of their lies it has turned us off, we don't read their trash anymore nor do we watch it on t.v. the American people are done with them, and so are the people who are frustrated and if you don't believe what you are seeing in Charlotte, then look again, they wanted that media person to burn in that fire, that's the hate that the media has caused with their lies and the media best stop and go back to journalism 101 because on day real soon, there won't be anyone there to protect their lies and they will burn in that fire, and sorry to say: Rightfully so!
IMO, the closer we get to voting process, don’t be surprised if the violent rioters will be redirected to polling sites around the country.
Just when the violence results in enough deaths, 0 will address the nation with his edict.
“Charlotte protests turn violent”
“Situation becoming unsafe”
Sorry, reporters, it was violent and unsafe from the first minute. You are really idiots.
