If It Bleeds It Leads

Is Zaid right, that the media is fomenting riots by posting lies of omission, if not commission? [More]

The question is how much of manufactured incitement is agenda vs. drawing in eyeballs for ad revenues.

David,

you may have noticed the media are now, at last, using the term 'rioters' -- only because of D.C. - not 'mostly peaceful protesters' -- and that includes National Review.

David, where's that fiction article of Mike's describing how wonderfully it would concentrate the minds of journalists should the Current Troubles suddenly extend to include them? I've been unable to find it here with the search function.

Related, but no. This was fiction, written from the point of view of a government employee along for the ride in the color revolution. Everything is running swimmingly for them until a big-name MSM meat puppet gets taken out in the middle of a ship christening, and other journoliars are subsequently targeted by rooftop voters. Does this sound familiar?

Ya got me. Just did a post asking if any readers remember.
