Media waits for word in Ferguson
As Ferguson, Missouri awaits a grand jury decision in the death of Michael Brown, Brian Stelter speaks with CNN's Sarah Sidner and media lawyer Benjamin Lipman. Here are some of the key points from the segment:
>> Sidner: "There are 12 people that know exactly where they are and how long they think this might take. None of them are supposed to be talking."
>> Sidner: "I think we need to be careful with this idea of hyping. This community is already on pins and needles. They have been nervous for months, and they are tired of it. They want, as they have said to me many times, to 'rip the band-aid off' and get a decision so that we can go forward with our lives, so the city can start to try and deal with whatever that aftermath is."
>> Lipman: Lawyers have been "talking to law enforcement ahead of time, trying to explain what we think are the rights of the reporters under the First Amendment in the hopes that we can get ground rules, I guess, so everybody is in agreement what the reporters can and can't do."
>> Sidner: "To be clear: it has been mostly peaceful... There has been no looting, no burning down anything, no destroying anything over these past 90 or so days. There were some issues in the very beginning."
>> Stelter: "This is not just about Michael Brown anymore. The logo on screen might say 'The Death of Michael Brown' but this is about a movement now... This is about a movement, not just that one moment in time."

Fake Ray Ban Knock Off
CNN has repeatedly had people in Ferguson talk about Mike Brown's body being left in the street for hours. Mike Brown's mother has been interviewed and said she was not allowed to go to his body when the body was in the street. A CNN panel discussion included a person who gave a detailed factual reason why Mike Brown's body was handled the way it was. The panelist stated it was a crime scene. This crime scene was being handled according to established procedures. Why then does CNN continue to emphasis the handling of this crime scene like it is done out of malice towards the victim. Why wasn't Mike Brown's mother apprised of these facts.
Can anyone tell me why so many black CNN journalists, and I include Don Lemon, Sunny Hostin and other African American talking heads among them, carry the torch for blacks regardless of what the facts tells them? So many seem to push their own agenda, rather than report the news objectively.
