I think if the national network news programs [View all]

Would spend 15 minutes each broadcast covering live exactly what’s going on in Minneapolis this shit would end in a week. I’m old enough to remember Watergate and the relentless news coverage that brought down a crooked president.

Now, somehow Americans being murdered or abused by federal agents isn’t worth more than a 60 second story or none at all.
I’m not naive about this. I know many American stories have been buried or underreported, but this is ridiculous.
