CNN Silent After Host 'Incited Rage' at Antifa Rally in Berkeley
BY DEBRA HEINE AUGUST 31, 2017
Quote
A CNN host spoke to a cheering Antifa crowd at the violent “No Hate in the Bay” rally in Berkeley, California, over the weekend, and now CNN is dodging questions about it.

W. Kamau Bell, who fronts a show on CNN called the “United Shades of America,” grabbed a bullhorn at the rally and bellowed that "when the Nazis leave, as they have left…you have to stand up for the brown people, the black people, the LGBT people, the immigrants–everybody everyday!” The mob roared in approval.

I'm at a (temporary) loss for words. This is NOT news reporting, it's "news" INCITING!

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

They shouldn't be 'dodging questions about him'; they should be firing his ass out of a trebuchet into SF Bay.

I stopped watching the local Fox affiliate news in So Cal several years ago when one of their reporters was covering a pro-immigrant rally.  The Fox reporter was an older hispanic man who I had watched for years and didn't have any opinion about him.

During the a verbal clash began between pro and anti immigrant protestors.  The Fox news reporter began to argue for the side of the pro-immigrants and at one point said the the anti immigrant protesters,

  "Look, we were here long before you were here and we are the ones who belong here, not you".

I stopped watching that news cast that night and have not seen it since.

CNN is likely just waiting and gauging initial opinions and reactions. Eventually they will come out defiant and swinging.

The MSM's history of making news - as stagers, inciters, and advocates - goes back for decades, to at least the Vietnam War era. And pretty much entirely promoting Lib/Prog ideas and causes.

I would even venture to say it goes back to the Spanish/American War. When the U.S.S. Maine exploded the media whipped the public into such a frenzy McKinley was pressured into declaring war without any evidence of the Spanish having anything to do with the destruction of the ship.

Actually, anti-Spanish sentiment long preceded the sinking of the Maine, because of Spanish brutality in trying to suppress a rebellion. That was what had the Maine in Havanna harbor. Coverage by Hearst's and Pulitzer's newspapers stirred up Americans' outrage, but the brutalities were real, and Cuba was/is a little over a hundred mile off the Florida coast. At most, the sinking of the Maine was the last straw that made up a 2000-pound load.

The most likely cause of the sinking of the Maine was a magazine explosion due to a spontaneously combusted fire in a coal bunker adjacent to a magazine. One of the problems with coal as a fuel for ships generally was bunker fires. The Maine was designed before this became well known, and coal bunkers were used to shield magazines from enemy shells. While the Maine was considered a second class battleship. she was much out-classed by the contemporary Indiana and Iowa class pre-dreadnought battleships. The Indianas and Iowa seem to have had a better layout, as all four survived to be scrapped, except for the Oregon, which became a museum, briefly, and was eventually scrapped.

Yep. Never forget William Randolph Hearst's famous quote, "You provide the pictures, and I'll provide the war."

They aren't the only ones saying this, but from W'pedia (with their sources):

Quote
Perhaps the best known myth in American journalism is the claim, without any contemporary evidence, that famed illustrator Frederic Remington, sent by Hearst to Cuba to cover the Cuban War of Independence,[24] telegrammed Hearst to tell him all was quiet in Cuba. Supposedly Hearst responded, "Please remain. You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war."[26][27]

@SVPete

If there is a mainstream media outlet today that actually reports the news these days regardless of whose dog gets a newspaper across the snout,I am unaware of it.

All I have seen for several years now is publicizing the leftist agenda,and no reporting the actual news at all.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

I saw it first hand fifty years ago in Nam. I haven't trusted them ever since.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
