"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."

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?

I'm not saying it's media overreaction at all.

I stated that the MSM is inflaming the situation.

I have also stated that the professional rabble rousers that don't actually live in Ferguson (many who most likely originate in Seattle I'm sure), are actually the primary root of the “limited” violence we are currently witnessing in Ferguson.

Get it?

“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?”

Um... yeah I’m inclined to agree. The media always gets a little ramped up about mayhem and violence but it seems Fox has been mostly reporting the facts as it unfolded. When you have people on the ground watching looting and businesses burning it’s no longer just “the media” - what do you expect them to do (but yeah, an element of this is egged on by all the media).

And they’ve pretty much identified these a-holes as opportunists and anarchists and joy-riders. So no big drama about it all being about the poor “gentle giant” (yeah, right) - I don’t think the woman running out of the liquor store with an armload of booze was thinking about poor Michael Brown. This is just dull brute stupidity and mayhem.

I hope the business owners leave and never return. It’s not as if the morons of Ferguson have jobs to worry about. They’re all collecting freebies from Obama.
