CNN inflames racial angst – pays the price

George Floyd death a tragedy, exploited by the worst elements of our society

George Floyd autopsy found ‘no physical findings…of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation’ ‘Underlying health conditions,’ intoxicants, police restraint ‘likely contributed to his death’

John Hinderaker at Powerline

“…We have witnessed a massive failure of leadership in the City of Minneapolis and the State of Minnesota. Boy Mayor Jacob Frey has been exposed as a childish nonentity. Meanwhile, what about the Minneapolis City Council, which is responsible for the city’s Police Department? It is one of the most far-left political bodies in the U.S., and so far it has not been heard from, as far as I have seen. Governor Tim Walz, too, has been AWOL, although I do have to give him a little credit for his State Police cracking down on CNN. Amid the general incompetence, President Trump is threatening to step into the breach:

At this point, I suspect that there are a good number of Democrats in the Twin Cities who wouldn’t mind seeing the president make good on his promise…”

MSNBC “Journalism”

Here is what the liberal “journalists” wont tell you,

“…The police chief is a Democrat. The Hennepin Co Attorney is a Democrat. Amy Klobuchar is the Democrat former DA of Hennepin Co who refused to charge the very cop that allegedly ended this man’s life. The Mayor of Minneapolis is a Democrat. The Governor is a Democrat. Leftist leadership has failed Minneapolis for decades…”

Only Influence the Establishment Media Have Left Is Chaos

JOHN NOLTE:

“…I don’t know of anyone defending his sadistic treatment at the hands of the Minneapolis police. Everyone’s condemning what happened. President Trump is demanding justice and an investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s office in Minnesota and the FBI’s Minneapolis field office issued a joint statement saying they are in the midst of “a robust criminal investigation.”

If such things were allowed today, the appalling death of George Floyd could bring the country together, could heal the racial divide that was cynically widened by the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown hoaxes… Some good could come from this, could come from our shared humanity and revulsion over what happened to Mr. Floyd.

But Democrats and our nihilistic media cannot allow that.

Coming together is now forbidden in this country, thanks to a media that has lost so much credibility with the public it has turned to nihilism, has turned to fomenting chaos — because causing anarchy is the only influence the media have left…”
