It is truly confounding how Madison Avenue Media magnates such as CNN and MSNBC and their reporters are asking pundits, lawyers, legal scholars (willing to sing their chorus) law enforcement professionals “objective questions” about the “trial process” and how evidence works after “they” have spent the last 10 months promoting “street justice” in convicting Derek Chauvin of the “murder” of George Floyd via all their narrow lens, albeit prejudicial and bias investigative reporting. If you haven’t noticed, these networks and their reporters are in a fit of substantial digestive trauma while they learn of what really happened via real-time court room facts, videos and pictures, but that just doesn’t jive with the narrative they wrote and promoted for months. Particularly considering how much these networks both financially benefited from in those events while reporting on the outcomes of the very flames they fanned into being. Flames that brought a lot of overtime money to network staff members, field operations and production crews. Can one begin to think they’d be objective about the efficacy or credibility of the journalistic ethics when it may defeat their financial interest. Not a chance. It’s not 50 years ago on Madison Avenue Media journalism. “Where not in Kansas anymore” folks. But today, what rules is “revenues,” not unlike the very thing they criticize of Fox news. The buck stops here, and right now, their pants are just as far down as the very same ethic injustices they condemn Fox news of.
The truth hurts. And right now, these networks are shaking in their boots, since their credibility and every correspondent that bought in on the mayhem they generated will have substantial “pie on their face” as the “facts” (imagine that CNN/MSNBC) come out. Facts, something they didn’t think about when they wanted to cook another male white supremacist, they seem to have confused in their PTTD (Post Traumatic Trump Disorder), or like confusion. It’s understandable now, that some of the public actually think Derek Chauven went to work May 25, 2020 with the objective to take a man’s life. That is magical thinking. But it’s understandable how a neurosis of this type might manifest itself in a reporter after covering Trump for 4 years. It’s understandable. Nonetheless, both CNN and MSNBC have clearly drank a little too much of their own kool-Aide in recent months. And now they’re wondering about this thing called being “objective” and asking lawyers and legal professionals about court room criminal procedures currently underway, that isn’t exactly lining up with the narrative they’ve contrived over recent months. Clearly, the wind is not going their way and one can sense it in the evening news.
Yet now, the “cross-road” is in sight, and the final deal is about to go down and what may that be? Should Chauven be acquitted on all counts, which is very possible, after a very fair and public trial, and “all the facts” are in, where is MSNBC and CNN going to be when Minnesota burns again, due to a people angered by the system, a system MSNBC and CNN promoted to make a story, a “cause,” yet clearly self-serving in all, in it’s genesis.
Shame on them.
