Media Have Dirty Hands from Ferguson
Accuracy in Media ^ | 12/2/2014 | Cliff Kincaid

Looking back on the death and destruction in Ferguson, we can see the dirty hands of the media, especially CNN, now basking in the glow of (relatively) high ratings. Racial violence is a ratings booster and winner.

When the crap hits America we have every right to blame CNN for their part in America’s destruction.

Their hands were dirty long before Ferguson.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some people do more than just blame them.

Funny, CNN’s ratings are up while MSNBC’s with Al Sharpton acting as both reporter and agitator are down.

The MSM covered themselves with s%$# a long time ago.... and the whole thing accelerated after they stood on their heads to whitewash Billy Boy’s monkeyshines.

Funny thing is that MSNBC is stuck with Sharpton the loser/scumbag/ratings disaster.

They fire him and it is plain they are sitting ducks to be sued for raci$$.

Charles Barclay expressed his great displeasure with the media. He said that he was upset with them after he read the grand jury transcript. Some people get it.

Co-conspirators in the amplification of a lie. Suppressing a truth.

Condolences to family and friends of Zemir Begic.

After about one month, I think most lib media members knew the score. They knew that once again they had backed the wrong horse. But being craven liberals, they could not admit their mistake. So we’ll still read articles and hear lib blowhards talk about something bad that happened fifty or more years ago instead of honestly discussing Ferguson.

If CNN et al were simply interested in ratings stimulated by racial tensions they'd report on the Bosnian immigrant killed with hammers by five black youths reportedly yelling 'kill whitey'.

No, they have a clear political agenda. The ratings are the icing on the cake.

The Media puke’s “dirty hands” stem from far earlier than Ferguson.

I will never forget the multiple repeats of the Rodney King episode. Again and again. It looked much worse than it really was. True, if one only quickly glanced at it, it inflamed emotions. The riots and deaths plus the stupid brutal beating of the truck driver, who got brain damage indicts the stinking media.

One can imagine many of them sitting at a bar or at some home get together. Getting high on alcohol and thinking of their service to the cause of "right".
