We were watching the news coverage so we watched both CNN (blatantly democrat) and FOX NEWS (blatantly republican ) and the difference in coverage was jarring. Now note I'm going to try to be as objective as possible so please stick to the propaganda and not the party. CNN focused in the various murders of black men over the years and the last one that led to the riots (very important). It also stressed how they think getting the miltary involved was a bad idea me violated the law and will make things worse. Little reference to the violence against police going on. FOX NEWS- High emphasis on violence against police on tje riots (very important as well)and on the incompetence of the governors and why we need to call in the military to restore order. Little emphasis on the violence against blacks and the death that led to the riots. I'm not saying who is roght or wrong. But what amused me was a relative watching for angry at fox news for what they focused on and ignored the fact CNN was biased too. When I pointed out each station pusjed it's own agenda the said yes-Good (CNN) vs Bad(Fox) It showed me how amazingly effective how propaganda Is by selectively choosing facts both stations pushed their own agendas and divert peoples minds. Then people on either side start to see it as good vs evil based on who they side with. Please don't change this to how evil the liberals are. Fact is both sides can be just as guilty of manipulation It's all a matter of your world view, and perspective. Even in your own post, my position would be that two wrongs doesn't make it right. Was Fox News denying that Floyd was killed? Or that the police had a knee on his neck? So what was wrong with the Fox News coverage? Nothing. The difference is, I do not think that because police did something wrong, means that now you can do wrong yourself, and it's fine. That you can set fire to buildings, smash and grab from stores, and destroy half the city. It's just perspective. I actually like Fox News, because they oppose President Trump, whenever they think he is wrong. That to me, gives them more honest credibility than CNN/MSNBC, which never once criticized anything Obama, or Clinton before him, did. Just my opinion.

I don't find this strange nor funny, but a serious problem as it adds fuel to the fire that burns in their soul. I know there are groups that want socialism to rise in the US and since they cannot do this at the polls, they will try their best to do it in the public arena. Take de-funding the police for example. A socialist group in New England is all for this and is in full support of tearing down the US we now have for their political dreams. All due to what they can do on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
