21 Jul Shame On the News Networks!
After the killing of Tyre Nichols some crazy punters on various news channels seem to be suggesting that if his death results in reforms at the Memphis police department, his death should not be in vain. This comes from folks like Senator Tim Scott, NAACP Memphis President Van Turner, and a number of others.
Are they freaking kidding us? Do they mean to tell us that it might take Tyre’s death to reform policing? Do they want to tell the parents of this poor young man that his death serves a purpose?
Where do CNN, MSNBC and other news broadcasts find these so-called experts spouting this crap? Would they be saying the same thing if it were their own child or grandchild?
I expect idiotic statements from FOX. They are such a joke, so committed to their racist agenda and obscuring the truth, that they cannot be considered a news network. An example is Fox News host Jesse Watters, who said he didn’t see any “death blows” in the damning body-cam footage of the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, but seeing these idiot commentators and officials on the other channels repeatedly spouting their obscene remarks, hour after hour, on CNN, MSNBC, and major news broadcasts, shows that these companies are no longer committed to their original mission of reporting the news. They are instead much more interested in ratings and sensationalist spouting of opinions.
By saying over and over again that the death of Tyre Nichols may “not be in vain” they are no different than Fox. They are just spouting obscene opinions. I guess the concept of a news network no longer exists in this country. CNN, Cable News Network, should be renamed to Cable Opinions Network…. CON!!
Shame on all of them
