NBC Bans Reporters From Using The Word ‘Riot’ In Coverage Of Minnesota Riots
Daily Caller ^ | May 28, 2020 | William Davis

NBC is prohibiting reporters from using the word “riot” in its coverage of violent outbursts in Minnesota that have occurred in response to the killing of George Floyd.

“While the situation on the ground in Minneapolis is fluid, and there has been violence, it is most accurate at this time to describe what is happening there as ‘protests’–not riots,” NBC host Craig Melvin wrote on Twitter Thursday.

Based on the photos shown, I would call it a “violent weenie roast”.

Minneapolis used to be such a pleasant city....
Now it is reaping the consequences of unfettered immigration, permissive governance
Coupled with the influx of 6-8th generation descendants of Involuntary Immigrants
Another Progressive/Socialist Stronghold collapsing under its own hubris

Oh yes, the cops were criminally stupid

Guns now shoot themselves, and cities burn themselves.

Actually, this may be pretty accurate. The Rodney King riots were much more impressive, many entire blocks were burned out.

And Rodney King didn’t even die. He was on TV telling people to “get along”.

They're not rioter or looters. They are protesters! Those things they took out of the stores will help sooth their grief . .

They are LOOTERS..but this is what the left wants, when they say “Defund the police” what they want is the end of all police, so that everyone can go out and steal from stores and do whatever they want and get away with it..that is the left’s objective..but notice they wont loot the rich neighborhoods these reporters live in so they are fine

Wonder how they would respond if someone they defamed were to show up along with angry relatives and friends and they were to start throwing rocks, bottles and rotten trash at the lying reporters?

Would it be a “riot” then, O ye media hypocrites?
