In fact, the MSM, and Fox News in particular, are overly dramatic and hyperbolic with their reporting and they seem to have no other agenda other than to fan the flames and to inflame the situation for nothing more than ratings.

from about a minute ago:’
“The AutoTire and the business next door are actively being looted. 50-60 subjects at the auto tire. They stole a pair of cars and ran them in the front. /u/FergTipAdmin “

Are you serious? I am seeing buildings being burned to the ground, police cars being burned, stores being looted, and you are saying it's all media overreaction?

You forgot to put “vanity” in your title.

“I’ve heard pops! I heard pops shep. A hundred pops and they are returning fire!!”

Idiots

[bravo whiskey]

They need to move in with water cannons. Soak ‘em down, let ‘em freeze. Seems the police have set up the zoo and are letting the animals do what they want.

Yes, I couldn’t take another second of Shepard Smith and his many screens to show the ‘protests’ across the country..idiot.

[Politicalkiddo]

They arrested 29 people. One elderly man got carjacked and then run over. That’s pretty much it.

[AdaGray]

Henceforth, these should be known as the Media Riots.

[buckalfa]

Hyperbole sells. Violence never should be glorified. Granted, these are not your grandfather's riots of 1965 and 1968, despite what the Media is trying to show.

[familyop]

Well? Did the world end? Is the whole city of Ferguson burnt down? Did all of the protests turn into riots?

I didn't think so. A lot of media persons and political chatterers should try to get some help for that problem of theirs.

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
     Hysteric.] (Med.)
     A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
     in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
     exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
     so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
     the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
     paroxism or fits.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
           the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
           and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
           throat. The affection presents the most varied
           symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
           diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
           alone. Hysteric
