Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
The St. Louis News-Dispatch and Fox News have stories on arrests of two men in a plot to kill the prosecutor in the Ferguson case and the Ferguson police chief--and blow up the St. Louis arch. This seems newsworthy--a plot to kill public officials and destroy an American icon.
This story is not on CNN's homepage. Instead a reader will find these headlines:
--Wilson left lawn half mowed, went into hiding
--Michael Brown's mom: 'No respect'
--Brown's dad: Wilson a 'murderer'
--Photos: Ferguson unrest
--Opinion: Justice different for blacks
--LZ: America, we have a problem
--Photos: Wilson after shooting
--Wilson interview called 'rehearsed'
Is this "journalism"? Political propaganda? Incitement to violence?
If they do eventually decide to throw it up, they won't include the fact that "the men had wanted to buy more of the 'bombs,' but had to wait until one of their girlfriends’ Electronic Benefit Transfer card had more money."
Chris Cuomo was one of CNN's leading on-ground "reporters" in Ferguson. His father was Democratic governor of NY. His brother is Democratic governor of NY.
Is it at all possible that he has a political-partisan agenda?
Not to mention, CNN recently hired Obama spokesman Jay Carney to comment on events.
