I adore Soledad and want to have her baby. I recall her on the early days of MSNBC and how frustrated -- visibly... on air -- she was at the dumbing down of her tech-based series (the open disdain on her face when she had to interact with the computer animated character is unforgettable). I've seen her try to adapt to daytime, mornings, and prime time on a few networks without success. She's pandered a few times and recoiled from it every time. I do believe it'd be good to have her boots on the ground in Ferguson, which is exactly why she isn't there. CNN and the others didn't send people to report the news; they sent people to get footage of fires and tear-gassing and looting and whatever devastation they could find. As the grand jury's decision wasn't released until the evening, it was a coordinated media effort, and with the national guard being held back despite the declaration of a state of emergency days before, the governing bodies wanted a perverted lesson to be learned, too. This is America now. We don't get Soledad. We get Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo. We don't get law enforcement that serves and/or protects. We get a heavily armed military force that gets away with murder.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
