Planned purge and thugs: US media criticized for Baltimore coverage

[Natural Citizen]

The mainstream US media are facing criticism over their coverage of unrest in Baltimore. Activists and residents claim the media ignored peaceful marches, focused on labels and violence, and ignored the chronic issues of poverty and police misconduct.

Protesters shouted down Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera, who arrived in Baltimore shortly before the curfew on Tuesday. They blocked his camera and accused Fox News of lying and “false coverage.” Maryland state legislator Catherine Pugh helped extract the angry and flustered Rivera from the crowd.

Fox and other networks were accused of ignoring the peaceful marches and gatherings that were previously protesting the death of Baltimore resident Freddie Gray in police custody. Gray’s spine was severed under unexplained circumstances and he passed away earlier this month.

Not sure what Ben is even trying to say here???? Sure the MSM media is a joke, but who is that other guy with the goofy tie? What exactly was he trying to say?

Well. I think the message is clear. There must be accountability in reporting. Consider that we live in the Information Age. Gone are the days that someone else enjoys the luxury of asking the questions and we're left to decide based upon what they choose to ask. Today, the people are questioning more. They are taking the initiative. As is demonstrated there in those two videos in the original posting.

Now...that said, we'd do well as representatives to remember that we must sleep in the beds that we make when our friends in mainstream media are held accountable. Because if we don't, then, we'll certainly go down with them. And that is a choice.
