- heartbreak 9y agoI don't understand. Do you have a complaint about the journalistic integrity of Vice? Are you suggesting that the Daily Stormer editor was coerced into speaking in the video or that his words were taken out of context? The police officers were flying the surveillance helicopter over the crowds downtown when their helicopter crashed, so I'd agree with Vice that their deaths are related to the events.
- warmwaffles 9y agoVice is just trying to add more sensationalism to the event. Which in of itself is not necessary. So why they had to mention it is beyond me.
- liberte82 9y agoThis is more just blaming the media for everything. How is reporting on a police helicopter crash related to the event not newsworthy? Trump himself tweeted about it, and by the way, we still haven't heard anything on the cause. Let's focus our upset feelings on the things that actually matter, like neo-Nazis in our streets, rather than on nit-picking journalistic investigations into them.
- zo1 9y agoBecause they conflate the two. I've seen it in so many headlines regarding this event. It's not just the one casualty due to the car incident, they then go on and word it such that you'd think two police men died as a direct result of the protests. It's way worse than a bunch of people walking around espousing racist views. Real-time subtle manipulation of large amounts of individuals is what actually matters. Democracy/society breaks down when you have large-scale brainwashing and suppression of dissenting opinions/views past a certain tipping point. Ironically, I'd argue that's a large component of how the Nazis in Germany rose to power.
