The media and the riots/demonstrations.


Recommended Posts

Watching some of the coverage of the demonstrations after the riots I actually became more irritated with many of the reporters covering it than some of the demonstrators. I say demonstrators because they wern't officially rioting at the time but still taunting the police after curfew. The reason I got irritated with the media is when reporters were asking questions from the demonstrators they would never let them finish what they were saying, not even get partially done. It doesn't matter if I agreed with what they were saying, if they ask a question then at least let them answer it. The reporters, several, stopped them in mid sentence just to add their opinion, they just don't have the ability to shut the hell up for 30 seconds. Now I don't defend or approve of what the rioters are doing or did but I was waiting to see one just punch one of those reporters in the mouth. They are there to report and interview, not comment, ask a question and get an answer weather you don't like the answer or not.
