It's on CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.

 

The militia folks at the Bundy ranch need to get over to Ferguson if they're serious about government overreach.

Please buy a newspaper tomorrow, or else I'm just out there eating tear gas for Twitter.

 

For a couple of minutes here and there.

Hannity is talking about the looting from the other night, not what's happening right now. CNN finally has a camera there, MSNBC picking up local feeds. But they're playing catch up.

And now CNN has moved on.

 

Chuckled a bit at that. That Thursday surge for the dead-tree edition will make a difference.

Noticed his feed of military flunkies all decked out in gear. Love the camo look for an urban-assault team.

 

What's going on in Ferguson is blatant disregard for anything and everything civil and decent.

 

Which the media probably found out around the time they started really pushing for the name, but you just assumed they weren't trying because that fits the narrative you prefer. You already used this to take digs at Obama and the media. All you need now is some way to blame teachers, too, and you can be truly happy.

 

They changed their mind and did not release the name of the cop involved.

Has the media tracked down the name on their own yet, OOP?

 

Anonymous threatened to release it yesterday -- saying it learned the identity -- but you'd think the org would've done it by now, meaning they don't have the name yet.

 

And the cops were hitting news crews with tear gas.
