16 year old African American male shot and killed in the Seattle CHOP. Where is the mainstream media outrage? How did you learn about this?

You're suggesting there is conservative media outrage over this by using the "mainstream" qualifier? No quite the contrary. You have already posited that conservative media doesn’t care. Where are the CNN, MSNBC, Network hacks and why are they not wringing hands over this innocent victim? Does it not fit the “Peaceful Demonstration” narrative? If his killers get caught do you think they will be arrested and charged with a crime?

Daniel Dale:
Trump, who is defending Confederate monuments as a matter of “heritage,” is now describing the words “Black Lives Matter” as a “symbol of hate.”

Conservative media definitely doesn't care. Just more evidence that the only people you ever want to hold accountable are Democrats and non-conservative media though.

Are they part of the mainstream media? But they’re not covering it enough! With so little else going on right now, this is without a doubt the most pressing domestic issue. It should be wall to wall coverage of what may have been just some random violence completely unrelated to the protest. Push the president’s outright treasonous activity and the ongoing pandemic that’s killed 130,000 to back burner and let’s get down in the dirt with this truly remarkable story.

My bad. Guess they did weep and gnash their teeth. So much for the peaceful nature of those lovely idealists in the CHOP

Then he golfed... Did you say something about ignoring news?

So much for the peaceful nature of those lovely idealists in the CHOP I don’t know whether I actually care or not what they’re doing in CHOP (and I’m fairly confident you don’t really either except insofar as it fits your agenda to disparage protestors), but you know this line of reasoning is nonsense. Because of an act of violence, again, that may not have been anything other than a personal gripe and completely unrelated to CHOP itself, you just ascribe the deed to everyone there. It’s so reductive on its face that it can just be disregarded as simple trolling. I like that pivot though from your original, but wrong, point.

Another liberal utopia falls as CHOP loses its nation status.
So sad.
Not to worry however, as its lineal descendant springs up in DeBlasio’s back yard.

Did you approve of that disgrace in Seattle? I honestly don’t even have the energy anymore to pretend to care about it one way or the other. If I did, I’d say I don’t approve of it because it distracts from the real BLM issues and gives Fox News a fancy pinwheel to put in front of its largely brain dead audience. As long as they have them focusing on this, there’s really no time to talk about how much of a disgrace our president has been and how the coronavirus is spiraling out of control in Republican controlled states that have rejected science. It also allows Fox and its viewers to not actually have to engage with racial bias and inequality except in the most superficial way. Because Fox is dishonest and depraved, they can and do say “if BLM and liberals had their way, this is what YOUR country would be like.” So I guess I don’t approve, but not for the same reasons you don’t.

Nice dance. You asked me a direct question, at the very least I answered, which is more than can be said for many on this board. I prefaced the answer with my complete ambivalence about the entire issue. The importance of what is happening there is so limited in scope despite the spin about it. In my news feed, I follow all the major sources, including Fox News. There are really no articles from Fox in my feed that are not about CHOP or the NY CHAZ with the exception of the Lt. Governor of Texas essentially calling Fauci a fraud. I think I reached a more than reasonable conclusion when pushed.

Did you approve of that disgrace in Seattle? Do you approve of the disgrace you voted for to be our President? You might have missed it but he did nothing while his bestie Vlad paid out bounties to the Taliban for killing American soldiers.

It wasn't just George Floyd though. Folks were out there for Breonna Taylor Ahmed Aubery also.
