Eric Boehlert of the perpetually angry “progressive media watchdog” Media Matters has a “quick” question for CNN:
quick Q for @CNN: how many times did you break into programming to air funerals of NV cops assassinated by RW Bundy Ranch volunteers?
— Eric Boehlert (@EricBoehlert) January 4, 2015
Really, Eric? So CNN is covering up for “RW” (right wing, we assume) causes?
Oh, and yes it is true that these scum killers were at the Bundy ranch protest, ABC News reported that they were asked to leave:
Jerad and Amanda Miller did not “align themselves” with the April protest’s main issues, Ammon Bundy told The Associated Press.
“Not very many people were asked to leave,” he said. “I think they may have been the only ones.”
And CBS News reported that the duo were aligned with the Occupy movement long before they showed up in Nevada:
While living in Lafayette, Jerad and his wife Amanda took part in last November’s “Million Mask March” – a gathering of protesters from the Occupy movement, anarchists, and hacktivists.
Nick Wertz, one of the organizers of the Lafayette march, said it attracted many people upset over a lot of issues.
Over to you, Eric. Why is Media Matters ignoring their association with the Occupy movement in its reporting?
