Someone actually put ’em in the same place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Local media is no better; most ran headlines similar to the above during Monday’s proceedings – only Channel 11 made a quick headline reference to the fact that Grosskreutz incriminated himself and upheld Rittenhouses self-defense claim against him (without saying it in as many words, naturallly). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Public media? NPR and MPR this morning ran a report from Wisconsin Public Radio about yesterday’s proceedings that focused on a dispute over whether the owner of the used car lot where the incident started did or did not pay, or even ask, civilians to provide security – which will have no impact on the verdict, other than perhaps gulling any potentially dim jurors…<\/p>\n\n\n\n …and ignored the county Medical Examiner and photographer Nathan DeBruin, who largely upheld Rittenhouse’s self-defense claim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I tend to give people the benefit of a doubt. Reporters aren’t largely lawyers. Many of them aren’t curious enough to go much past the press releases that seem to make up so much of one’s morning newscast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But this goes way past ignorance, and given the amount of reliable information that is <\/em>available, incompetence as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They are pushing a narrative; protesters good, protests mostly peaceful, resistance entirely depraved and motivated by white supremacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To the narrative, the battle is a reductionist cartoon with white hats on one side and MAGA caps on the other, counting on news consumers to be too dim to know the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As the 2020 elections, the California recount, and the recent election in Austin Texas show, its not wrong. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This blog was founded primarily to lend my small, relatively insignificant voice to pointing out the growing bias and ethical turpitude the mainstream media.
