[Docreed2003]

1. Yep we sure do

[Walleye]

2. Folks staying at home and minding their own business doesn't make good TV.

[Celerity]

3. Dumb & armed to the teeth and ready on a Trump tweet's notice to pwn the libs with lead

[spanone]

4. I didn't see anyone with guns in the local videos...just stupid signs

[Celerity]

21. ...

[spanone]

22. I saw those idiots, just not in Nashville footage. They may have been there.

[forthemiddle]

24. Michigan is an open carry State

Tennessee is not.

[Celerity]

30. The first pic is from NH

[dalton99a]

29. The complete cure for everything that ails them: Guns

I hope they cure themselves ASAP

[kentuck]

5. Somebody has to be the guinea pig...

So everyone else will know how safe it is to go out in a crowd.

I'm sure we will hear in a couple of weeks whether or not it affected any of these protestors, and whether they came into any contact in their cities?

It could be helpful for their areas, I suppose?

[pbmus]

6. There are stupid fucs all over...not just Tennessee..

[lindysalsagal]

8. True, but in some states they're aggressively stupid.

They take pride in their ignorance, and it's a majority value.

[lindysalsagal]

7. I've seen national education stats: SE states will make your blood run cold.

Dismal, by any measure. Kentucky, Louisiana, Alabama, even alot of Florida is deplorable.

[brooklynite]

9. Are you saying the story isn't newsworthy?

[FoxNewsSucks]

14. What's newsworthy is that

they are billionaire-funded and incited morons.

But that's not how it's being covered. The corporate media is showing them to be "good concerned american protesters". Just like they did with the teabaggers. That didn't go well for us, did it.

[brooklynite]

15. Provide an example...

I'm not seeing anything that suggests that they're "good concerned american protesters".

[FoxNewsSucks]

17. I don't see them that way either

If your news shows them as fools, they they are doing their jobs. I haven't yet seen that kind of coverage. Just covering protests without explaining either their backing or their wrongness.

[Windy City Charlie]

18. For the most part

For the most part, news isn't going to characterize them one way or the other. They present what they have and let the viewer decide how they choose to characterize them.

[FoxNewsSucks]

19. Yes, well while they should be objective,

if a group of people are clamoring that the sun sets in the east, it's not their job to show them as having a credible position is it?

These are billionaire-incited tools. That's the ONLY way it should be presented to the public.

[kacekwl]

26. Exactly. Fair & Balanced but with no

Facts. Tell the complete story then let people decide.

[Windy City Charlie]

10. Same here

Same where I'm at. They showed one woman saying, "More people have died from not being able to work than from the flu virus, but they're being counted as dying from the flu virus by the fake media." Some still think this is the flu! Unbelievable!

[spanone]

11. trump poisons minds...he's encouraging this.

[Windy City Charlie]

16. Exactly

If I was a reporter, I'd be following-up by asking the woman from which source is she getting her information about the number of deaths. Then again, these are the type of people that would keep moving the goal posts to fit their narrative.

[bullwinkle428]

12. Illinois has them too - local news opened with their pathetic protest. "Sic semper tyrannus"...LOL!

A scruffy little collection worthy of the Star Wars bar scene...probably out-numbered by the Porta-Potties.

[Progressive Jones]

13. I didn't even know there was a protest in Illinois.

Was it another crowd of "about 100", like the rallies in other States?

[Dem2]

20. 100 liberals protesting - barely a mention in the news

100 ignoramuses protesting life-saving procedures - of course it has to be covered, but it's still pathetic that the world works in such an awful way.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Again, Look At The Number

TN has 6.8 million people. There appear to be fewer than a hundred of these tools.
The best thing we (and the media) can do is ignore them. They are truly the lunatic fringe despite the big bucks of the jerks riling them up.

[RhodeIslandOne]

25. Marsha Blackburn

I think that sums up Tennessee.

[spanone]

28. marsha & donald....a toxic brew

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. We do indeed.
