Once again, left wing nut jobs result to chaos, anarchy, and violence to further their agendas. As expected the mainstream media would rather talk about other things. CNN doesn't even have it mentioned anywhere on their front page. Most of them labeled the anarchy as protests or demonstrations. Last time I checked, burning $%&t and attacking police was called rioting.

Quick glance at a number of online sites right now and none of them are headlining the protests...even the precious Breitbart. Don't get your point on that one.

And who cares riots/protests -- why do we want to give these people any more press. They are disruptive and shouldn't get more attention.

Easy fix: if you don't like CNN coverage, then don't watch it or look at the website.

I doubt that Fox and Breitbart ever cover what I think is important so I just avoid them.

I think the issue is that all of the media outlets gave it some air but they don't want to focus on that. More focus on Trump/Putin which is more important to us specifically.

And if the media outlets were all about liberalism wouldn't they focus on the riots as you call them and focus on the issues that these people say are the reasons for the protests and try to convince everyone that they are for the right reasons.

Absolutely no logic....

Same type of riots when the G20 was in US a few years back, Seattle I think. Peaceful for the most part, Anarchist groups show up and start throwing rocks. They leave at the end of the meeting.

The election woke me up to CNN and the rest of the mainstream media. There is no such thing as journalism as is taught in school. CNN and the rest of them are spreading anti-Trump propaganda and other liberal agendas. You have to listen to AM talk radio, watch FOX cable news and get your online news from DrudgeReport these days. Paul Joseph Watson has some good commentary on YouTube.

I'm so disappointed MSNBC and CNN were my favorite sources for news.

I really liked morning Joe. I used to tune in just to watch him walk all over his co-host. I always wondered why she took his abuse. She had all the excitement of a talking board who's lips never moved. Its true she seldom had anything thoughtful to say. Once in a while she would talk about something meaningless and not be interrupted by rude Joe. It made you wonder why he didn't interrupt her. Why in the world would he let her complete a thought when, clearly, she knew nothing about what she was actually saying. If she went on to long, I would be like " come on Joe !!, step on her and save us" but no, he let her finish. Joe would look at her in wonderment. You could see him thinking what am I going to do now to try and save the show. Low rated as it is, still, I need to try !!!

CNN was a favorite because I like citrus and that Limon dude never disappointed. He was a smooth talker. A real snake oil salesman. He would finish a segment and it left you sour. I could take a shot of tequila and all I need was the salt when watching the Limon dude.
Then there was this weird pasty dude that came on later. Some guy with two last names. Anderson Pooper or something like that. I didn't watch him much because my son in-laws name was Anderson too. My SIL shot himself cleaning his pistol. I thought he had to be smarter than that if he was on TV. I would tune in every now and then just to see if he was still alive. He look so pale. I was sure he had a leg wound. But it never seemed to bother him, if he did.

I was so disappointed when I found out they were fake news. I haven't really watched sense. I was planning to tune in but I heard they weren't covering the truth about what was happening in Germany. I know they like violence, so I thought they might cover the violence in Germany. I suppose its the violence they promote here in the US that they really like. Oh well, Fox has the hot ladies. Not a bad place to be and they covered the riots in Germany too.

The protests are the sideshow to the G20 so how much diversion, i mean attention, should be paid to them?

Was watching CNN last night when a reporter on scene was running as the police were throwing tear gas and flash bangs. Oh wait, that was all fake news...
