Watching the PBS show, you get reminded that we went to war with Spain
because Hearst wanted to sell papers.

Sad all the way around.
My focus is how the media seems like they would almost start something
just so they can have something to broadcast.

No comments on the riots or lack thereof, but it seems to me that the
young twerp crossed state lines with a semi-automatic to be the
self-appointed "police", and as a result a couple of people died. If said
young twerp had stayed home and watched Chuck Norris on TV, maybe no one
would have died, and maybe a few windows might have been broken.
I do not hold windows and lives as equivalent.

Forgive me, but I want to make this comment:
(I hope I don’t regret this)
The news media seem heartbroken that there are not riots in Wisconsin.
Using lots of phrases like: “pretty calm – AT THE MOMENT”.
Or “we are hunkered down in a safe place, prepared for violence”.
Or “Maybe there is a small number that want to get violent”
It appears to be calm there. I am hopeful people are sick of riots.
But the media are certainly not sick of them.
