The coverage in Baltimore is sickening. Last night the media was just itching to be able to telecast, film and editorialize on more violence and today that seems to be continuing.
Listening to the cable news program hosts - they keep switching from reporter on the street to the next reporter on the street hoping that this guy has something juicy to add to the conversation.
And now they seem to be projecting to Friday when the so-called investigation will be reported on. There's even some speculation that this report will not come on Friday and that in turn will cause more violence.
That's all they want is violence. They want looting, fires and pelting of police and they want the police to get agitated enough to lash out against the People.
This is real ugly television and most of it is fed by the media. If the media wasn't present - the people of the community would have no reason to mug for the camera's.
On the other hand - its really the only way that perhaps the People are able to get their message across. Bottom line - I really don't like the way the media is treating this and tonight I'm not going to watch any of the coverage.
