Over the weekend we told you about a CNN reporter who was on the ground in Minneapolis and reported that there was a “merry caravan” of “entirely peaceful” protesters nearby — that is, until somebody threw a bottle at him.
Another CNN reporter in Minneapolis did acknowledge there was violence, but went on to offer an explanation on behalf of the rioters and looters:
This isn't journalism. This is activism. This is excusing arson, looting, rioting, and the destruction of minority-owned businesses.

That’s some serious “journalisming” right there and in no way includes personal opinion. *Eye roll*
This is a CNN journalist literally making excuses for looting and rioting and arson. And people wonder why the protesters doing this think it's ok? This is crazy. CNN is actively stoking the flames here. https://t.co/olyGqvKsG0

For all the GROWN CHILDREN out there let me school you on what I teach 2 year olds… sadly enough its applicable.
1. Tantrums don't work.
2. All attention won't necessarily be GOOD attention.
3. Use your WORDS, not your hands.Moral of this story: #StopBeingChildish#GrowUp

It's also the most infantilizing, patronizing approach possible
We have a word for people who start throwing things and having a tantrums when they don't get their way

She also says that especially young people "don't know what to do with that emotion, so they lash out."
Let's give 16 year olds the ability to vote, though. https://t.co/tWwtKOoZtz

If anyone wants the clearest example I can possibly give for why I've finally left the Democratic Party and will vote Republican – it's this.
It's this insane, gaslighting nonsense excusing far-left terrorism and running cover for it. https://t.co/pndGhkiJ67

Is it any wonder why, that their ratings are abysmal? https://t.co/cJmBqVv5Se

Let’s just say CNN tends to get the ratings they deserve.
