Here’s a quiz for you folks in the media: What happens if you’re out doing “man on the street” interviews but none of the men on the street fit your “narrative”?
If you’re CNN, you stop interviewing them.
It has been remarkable to watch the last few days as America’s self-styled “most trusted news network” has sent out teams of reporters to various areas of Ferguson, Mo., ostensibly to cover the protests there. While their cameramen are watching cars on fire and stores being looted, the reporters ramble on about how “most people here” are “peaceful protesters.” Modal Trigger
Where are these peaceful protesters? The reporters can’t seem to find any. Instead, they turn to outside experts and some carefully vetted religious leaders to talk about “the real message” of the protests. Modal Trigger
On Tuesday night, CNN correspondent Jason Carroll was reporting, “Most of the protesting we saw in front of the Ferguson Police Department tonight was peaceful.” Then as he started trying to explain the fires burning behind him, he was approached by three of the protesters, who proceeded to get in his face and yell at him because he was promoting a “certain narrative” — the police narrative. “You don’t understand!” one screamed.

I’m sure only a tiny 99% minority of the rioters are violent.
Never fear, they’ll get someone else to pay for the headstone just like they did for his funeral.
Having burnt the town down, and made Bear Brown, the bully and thief their hero, blacks have hurt their brand as people. All the towns that have had riots have been by their race. Obama couldn’t do any better than white POTUS did, in fact he is too easy on criminals, and too hard on the cops.
Why should any store owner rebuild to sell to hooligans, thieves, and racists. Insurance rates will go up and eat up any profit store-owners would hope for.
Put a tombstone in the center of the town square, stick a fork in it Ferguson is dead
Naomi Schaefer Riley’s right about CNN. They’re idiots. The upside is no one watches CNN...
The only places I see CNN on are in airports and waiting rooms. Luckily most people have smart phones or other electronic devices to keep themselves occupied.
Airport views must be how they get most of their 'numbers'... 'cause I don't know anyone who watches CNN... Thanks for sharing Matt...
I’d sure hate to see “belligerent” protests if that’s the case.
Ha ha ha ain’t it the truth.
This is all about FEEWINGS
And Obama helped coax it into the grave.
CNN is always lying.
