them if they do not report - for the rest of time - that the government did all they could. Otherwise the press has to take ownership of causing race riots. And the journalists are humans and the last thing they want to do is be responsible for hurting people.

One of many theories. And - because the press now does what they are told out of fear - not something that will be looked into deeply by them. So it will just be the anarchist bloggers & other fringes who once again keep with reality.

It is called "loan sharking". You give someone something.. in this case news & increasing lawlessness to the press - and then you make them pay for giving it to them. You make them responsible. And you top it off by then threatening to call the press "irresponsible" or "riot inciting" if they continue to report actual news. The very things they cannot stand to be.

GOTCHA!

He is the President of the United States. Even if President's have strokes or start to suffer from Altzeimers..they still do what they are supposed to do. Because they have true expertise around them. Replacing true experts and leaders in their fields with like-minded cronies is a plan that has been carried out meticulously. There is nothing incompetent about meticulous plans carried out. It is systematic.
