This weeks showWe are in trouble when comedians explain Baltimore better than the media
This week all the traditional mainstream media descended on Baltimore. There was a comment by protester Danielle Williams to MSNBC's Thomas Roberts that exposed the dereliction of duty by the traditional mainstream media. She said the following.
"My question to you is, when we were out here protesting all last week for six days straight peacefully, there were no news cameras, there were no helicopters, there was no riot gear, and nobody heard us," Danielle Williams said. "So now that we've burned down buildings and set businesses on fire and looted buildings, now all of the sudden everybody wants to hear us. Why does it take a catastrophe like this in order for America to hear our cry?" she continued. "I mean, enough is enough. We've had too many lives lost at the hands of police officers. Enough is enough."
There is much within that statement.
What do you think. Let's talk about it.

But that would be a first, right?

However, to address the OP, I've said for years that the proof we're living in a fascist oligarchy is that only comedians are allowed to tell the truth. You'll never hear it in a news broadcast and rarely read it in print.
