I don’t even know why this shit is even news. What’s the expectation here? Take the protestors down? That the narrative we want to portray?

There is basically no such thing as news anymore, just whatever your particular flavour of political spin dressed up with context from current events.

This would be funny if it wasn't so true.

I really don't know what the people want from cops anymore. Build relationships and de-escalate? Outrage. Enforce laws and use force? Outrage.

So there should have been a beat down instead for more equality?

News doesn't exist to inform and provide facts, it exists to sell advertising... once people realize this, they're more likely to use multiple sources and draw a line down the middle to hopefully be close to the truth.

I know you're likely just joking, but I don't remember there being any beat downs during the Calgary BLM protests either. So if that's what they are going for its another swing-and-a-miss.

You can say that for all social media as well. Everyone is saying shit to monetize. And the best way to get monetized is to get subscribers and followers.

Hence there is the no middle any more. The middle is too boring to get eyeballs.

The media is a business. No different than the rag mags at the hair salons. Their job is to twist and sell stories.

"Ok, what do owe have here media team?"
"Man shakes another mans hand"
"Hmmmm how can we make this front page news??"
" Two white men, one armed with a gun, meet in public place full of women and children to hold meeting of hate and plan takedown of normal life"
"Lets run with it!!!!"

Traditional print news isn't edgy enough for the new generation.

I had someone on my social media take a screen shot of a headline and share it. Didn't even share the article.. Fucking everything that's wrong with social media in one convenient post.
