As we told you earlier today, Minneapolis police arrested CNN reporter Oscar Jimenez and crew members, claiming they failed to disperse when ordered to do so. In the process of arresting the CNN team, the video camera was taken and lowered to the ground.
Which leads us to this:

So Brian, do you think that it may be a bit insensitive to compare the treatment of your multi billion dollar news network to that of a black man murdered by a cop? https://t.co/iK5azzLRow

It didn’t seem to bother him all that much.
This has to be Brian’s worst tweet ever. Even if he’s quoting someone, that just shows at least two people thought it was a good idea to type those words. pic.twitter.com/0qwq1wNOwV

The media just can’t stand it when they’re not the center of the story, huh? Despicable take https://t.co/W5eFIttyzI

CNN plays their own version of the Kevin Bacon game. No matter the tragedy they can make it all about them in a few twisted steps. https://t.co/4j0p6hYzPT

You people make everything about you and yet another reason why your profession is in the toilet.

There is literally no story that the media — CNN especially — can’t spin to be all about the media.
