What about this event indicates racism was involved? Because the cop is not behind bars? That is most likely due to union rules and procedures which have to be followed.

Either of them. CNN essentially controls the story. The cops could have thought they could have quietly gotten rid a potential source of trouble.

There is nothing to discuss about the George Floyd story. The cops seriously fucked up. I have yet to see anyone dispute that. I haven't even seen a union remark defending the cop. This is not the place to check out the latest news

If it were only the reporter arrested, I could believe it was racism. Since the other two were arrested, not so much. It also helps that they seemed to have been the only camera in the area. I have been unable to find any other video of

The producer and camera man were not so it was not strictly based on race. I just find it very convenient there is no other video of the arrest. They were probably the only camera crew around and the cops wanted them gone.

Comcast pays to carry CNBC and Fox content. They can freely decline to pay the content providers what they wish and drop their content. It is not an uncommon occurrence. Fox and NBC cannot provide air time for one political campaign and d

Trump would still be president between the election and inauguration.

He keeps it only because of his current title. I would not be the least bit surprised if he loses it the second another person is elected president. He will definitely lose it once another person is inaugurated.

Social media are the broadcasters of this age. I see no reason why they should be exempt from the same rules and regulations as old school broadcasters.

Trump supporter? I cannot wait for Trump to be gone. If I were a Trump supporter, I would refer to him as President or President Trump. More like person who is not triggered just by the mere mention of Trump. I never even insinuated Obam

Perhaps they see it as targeting a political figure because of political differences rather than trying to prevent the spread of misinformation. I'm not seeing any annotations on a number prominent members of Congress spreading misinf

It wasn't just large government shutdowns. It was local governments taking action, people traveling less, businesses cancelling/denying trips, people eating out less, etc. All of that started weeks before the large scale shutdow

Large scale government lockdowns may have started in late March. By the beginning of March, corporations, local governments, and people were starting their own lockdowns. I had a 3 day business trip in early March. I wasn't sure if

Why are you picking on Fox News? CNN, MSNBC, and others were chastising Trump over the China travel ban. They were saying he was creating hysteria over nothing. They were dismissing the virus at that point.

If there is no order, response to environment, or growth/development, how can they reproduce? Assuming reproduction is a characteristic they possess, why is that different from the others they do not possess? Reproduction relies on ho
