The problem with he MSM is that it takes huge profits from dumbass campaign ads paid for by dark money/foreign money thanks to Citizens United and brought to you compliments of the GOP crime syndicate. The real journalists are the ones that the monstrosity in The White House fears because they are indeed reporting the truth about his criminality and tremendous fear-mongering con job that tools fall for hook line and sinker.
My problem with the media is it promotes PCism, open borders, multiculturalism and globalism, and mostly the Democrat/leftist platform in general.

There have been 468 murders in Chicago so far this year. Is the only reason the media not reporting this is because they can't blame Trump for it?

Give the media enough time and they will come up with a way to blame President Trump! And then the deranged dims will lap it up.

But my, those Chicago thugs sure do need some target practice. They miss more than they hit...then they frequently kill the wrong target, usually innocent bystanders.

I get your point, to a point. However, these Chicago or Baltimore or...threads are common enough. They do not, however, gain traction because the liberals only reply as you have, snark or deflect or defend the cities’ political establishment. Which is the root of the problem. It is the political leadership of decades that wrought situations and environments of unending violence.

Funny how you only care about Chicago or Detroit when you want to attack the left, and never because you genuinely care.

Conservatives pretty much led the charge in defense of a black Chicago man who wanted to carry concealed for his protection all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. I think conservatives do care about Chicago crime and Chicago's children beyond a mere political point. The conservative intelligentsia has spent a disproportionate amount of time, money, and energy on crafting potential solutions to urban problems considering the absolute dearth of support for conservative politics in inner-city environments.

The topic of black on black crime is like a spectator sport to the right wing nut jobs on Faux News. Could it be they just LOVE the thought of black men killing black men? Sort of like the NFL on Sundays but with real blood, bullets and death. What a cheerful bunch they are.....

Democrats have to get that 13% of the total population down in numbers. So, the white man can control them.
Economic independence has not made its way to the streets of Chicago, where the Democrat government takes it away before they can get ahead.

OP is obviously calling out the fake news CNN/MSNBC that have been doing wall to wall coverage of the Pitt incident. hypocrites, the most consistent trait of the left.

Shameful shiny object being dangled by OP and whomever he supports or has frightened him. For the rest of us, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was not that convincing and we have long ago learned what Trump's motive is, for attempting to undermine our constitution and free press and journalists. Of course, dear subjects, "you may believe Fox".
