FNC’s Juan Williams: Liberal media is encouraging Ferguson riots
“Throughout this sad affair the mainstream media’s coverage has been self-involved – pitting reporters against police and celebrating people who came from far outside Ferguson to get their moment of TV attention. It is the job of the media to report the news and separate the hysteria from the facts. Now newspapers and broadcast outlets are effectively egging on the agitators and tacitly nudging the protesters towards riots by creating an expectation of riots.” — FNC’s liberal pundit Juan Williams in an opinion piece published Friday on FoxNews.com.
