Default Liberal media downplaying left wing violence in Germany

special hat's off to Angela Merkel for staging the summit in Hamburg to rub Trump's nose in it
I was watching MSNBC last night.

They had extensive live reporting with a journalist in the midst of the protests. He even got a dose of tear gas.

So, all the RWNJs yipping and yapping about MSNBC being "liberal" is completely bogus, by your measuring stick.

But please carry on.

De Blasio is one of the featured speakers at a protest there. NYC can do better than that joker.

I doubt that Fox and Breitbart ever cover what I think is important so I just avoid them.
FOX only pays attention when non whites riot/protest. They know what their viewers want.

The Summit was right beside some very left wing liberal areas in a very liberal city, and I don't think this was thought through properly.

Who is to blame for the riots that hit Hamburg during the G20?

Britain has hosted it's last two summits out in the countryside at rural Gleneagles in Scotland in 2005 and at rural Lough Erne, County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland in 2013 in order to avoid as much street violence as possible whilst the 2014 NATO Summit was held at the Celtic Manor Resort near Newport in Wales, so perhaps the Germans should have taken heed of this.

Group of Eight Annual Summits - Wikipedia

Hosting the G8 in or close to major cities is increasingly asing for trouble and especially cities with large student populations and a history of social activism.

Britain was smart and the beneficiary of being an island nation so it could more easily monitor the traffic headed into the conference territory.

Schengen borders leave little option in that regard. One monster busload of tourists looks pretty much like any other of the thousands crossing the borders all over Europe every single hour.

I read in one newspaper that an individual at the G-20 protest was arrested for pointing a laser at a helicopter; nothing about the burning and looting. To say that news organizations are selective in what they report would be an understatement. And to think what influence they have on public opinion! Sad.

Whilst I appreaciate what you are saying, even just moving the G8 to the German countryside or a forest resorts in Germany, rather than right beside some very liberal areas in Hamburg might have been a better idea.

Stil you live and learn I guess.

Why would anyone protest the G20?
The Left is so quick to point the finger at Trump as the cause for the idiots of the world wanting to riot but the same thing was happening in 1999 in Seattle and who was President then.... Bill Clinton.


Riots 1999 not Clintons fault.
Riots 2017 TRUMPS TO BLAME
if Hillary had won the blame would be on Putin.

Is it really Trump that the idiots are protesting or are they protesting because they are idiots?
