Imagine a man – let’s call him Fredo – sees another man set a building on fire with people inside it. But instead of sounding the alarm, Fredo picks up and throws a nearby can of gasoline on the growing blaze and then calls the local Fire Department to report that there’s a fire, on the other side of town.
Then, being a Millenial, he proceeds to record ensuing events on his phone for YouTube and Instagram.
Even though Fredo didnt start it, he is just as much an arsonist, and possibly even more responsible for the lives lost, the injuries sustained and the property damaged in the fire as the man who did.
The media is Fredo. To be more exact, when it comes to anything having to do with race in America, the media plays the role of Fredo the Arsonist.
They may not start the fire, but they make sure they throw in more fuel and sabotage any effort to extinguish it for as long as possible.
Ask yourself; has there ever been any situation with a possible racial cast to it, in the last 20 years, in which mainstream journalism has actually urged calm and carried out a dispassionate examination of the facts before levelling the most incendiary charges?
Has there ever been an interracial altercation in which the media did not deliberately seek to exacerbate racial and ethnic tensions and pit Americans against each other?
The answer is no.

The media is fueling racial tension and uses race-baiting to incite riot and lawlessness... their conduct is not protected by the 1st Amendment when it violates our statutory law. Time to arrest, indict and convict the MSM administration and anchors.... for domestic terrorism.
I agree with you, Col.
