By now almost everyone has digested the general gist of what’s been going on in and around Ferguson Missouri for the past 36 hours… or have you?
If, like most of America, you are busy getting those final adornments ready for the Thanksgiving Holiday, you might have only briefly digested the media version of events.
So let’s take a moment to contrast the MSM delivery against the reality of actually lays afore us. We start with the Mike Brown family response to the Grand Jury decision: (Warning Strong Language)
But the downplayed angle of the family screaming for violence pales in comparison to the next video.
Throughout the past 36 hours almost every liberal cable news network has sold this same cognitively dissonant narrative, “most of the protestors are peaceful“.
Watch this brief encapsulation:
So a busy person might not fully understand the scope of the looting, riots, arson and chaos going on around the area of Saint Louis, Ferguson, or Dellwood.
And it makes you wonder why exactly these media reports would be so disconnected from the reality of what’s being faced.
Pres Obama feels his remarks last night about Ferguson were worthwhile since most protests were peaceful, says Dep Press Secy @Schultz44.

Maybe it’s just that the ground reporters are not noticing the violence?
