Crimes Against News Crews in Oakland, California Cause Rethinking of Live Coverage
Breitbart ^ | 12/05/2021 | Penny Starr

Posted on 12/05/2021 5:17:43 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Journalists who cover crime in Oakland, California, are now becoming the victims of crimes as news crews are being robbed of expensive equipment. And those crimes include the recent shooting death of a security guard who was working for a local media outlet.

“The tragic turn of events last week and the unabating levels of violent crime has caused us to further enhance our safety procedures,” Jim Rose, vice president and general manager of KRON, said in a statement. “We have made immediate adjustments in our news gathering process and are also actively reviewing longer-term systemic changes to our coverage of the Bay Area.”

I remember when intrepid journalists braved battlefields…

Not so much anymore I guess.

Sorta like the public has been victim of the crime of fake news by those same "journalists". Karma's a bitch, Bucko.

The cities are becoming like the favelas of Brazil. Wont be long and people will be staying in their neighborhoods that have armed private security patrolling and managing ingress and egress points.

Best line from a Batman movie

“Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society”. They know the DEMa will protect them; so they have no reason whatsoever to stop, and every reason to accelerate the crime and violence

Because at some point, the cowardice of the liberals will be so great they will be afraid to punish the criminals. And then the stupid, cowardly criminals will collapse society- and then the purge will begin. But only after the criminals have preyed upon the liberals.

Then the men will either stand up and exterminate the criminals, or mankind goes extinct.

If they don’t want to cover local crime, okay. Then I suggest that they broadcast one of those old TV test patterns instead. Do it 24/7. And to keep their liberal audience, have some guy in the background continually complain about Trump.

Just use drones. The reporting will be less biased.

My guess is that the average California journalist has no idea who Ernie Pyle was, what he did or how he died.

It may not have been Dan Rather, but one of the old journalists went on record decades ago, saying that if he were with the troops, and if he saw Viet Cong waiting in an ambush, he would not warn the US troops. Because, you know, he wasn’t there to take sides, he was just there to cover the news.

In fact, the journalists have taken a side: they are against America. And this is what happens. Guess they chose poorly.

Great explanation of why any remaining conservatives need to leave the deep-blue states and cities ASAP. As these places slide into the cesspools of their own digging, conservatives will be targeted as victims or scapegoats.

The leftists are getting what they wanted. We should stand aside and let them have exactly what they wanted good and hard.

Media Networks need to understand the public is fed up with their reporting.

A white female reporter being raped in Egypt wasnt enough to make them change. But take their cameras and suddenly live footage just isn’t worth it.
