National TV media spends a lot of airtime talking about the BLM movement. They spotlight police brutality and aggressive police behavior.
Below are some facts that received either little or no airtime on national TV. No TV coverage of funerals... no interviews of family members...

A police chief was found fatally shot outside a St. Louis pawn shop that was looted after protests over the death of George Floyd turned violent. The officer was killed when he apparently tried to stop the looting of the shop.

A Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Officer was critically wounded engaging with violent protesters outside the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

Four cops were shot in St. Louis during demonstrations protesting George Floyd's death.

In Cincinnati, a police officer was struck in the helmet by a bullet during a confrontation with protesters.

Just last Saturday, two Tampa police officers, responding to a report of shots fired and possible gunshot victim, were injured Saturday after a crowd of hundreds surrounded the officers in an "ambush." A crowd of hundreds was at the scene when police arrived. As offices searched for a victim, the crowd blocked all four ends of the intersection. They surrounded officers, threw bottles and glass, and jumped on a police vehicle. “When there are that many people out there and clearly no one had been shot. It was just a set up to get the cops there."

So if all the above received "little or no air time" - where did YOU find this information? Cite your sources. Especially if you are quoting someone else, as it seems you are doing in your last paragraph.

Google. (not national TV). That internet thing... I think it's going to catch on...
I know someone posted the Tampa article. Here are a few more (below). I promise all were on the internet. I'm just too tired right now to find all the links.

Let's not forget about all the police casualties from the very bad idea to defund police departments across the nation.

Congressional leaders kneeled for Floyd. Have they ever kneeled for our servicemen killed in action or how about the 77 year old retired police captain shot to death in Minneapolis. Sad!!

So sad for our police. BLM is a war against our police, a pure hate group, yet they get all the good press.

Our press is in a war to change America to something none of us would recognize or want.

Sounds like you forgot about what the protests were all about. Every life is precious. None should be comprised. No country or organization is perfect. As a nation of many, we must strive to respect all.

Of course theres no media coverage. It doesnt fit the agenda. Cops saves lives everyday. Do you see that in the news? NO. Why? Because they cant show cops as the good guys. Yes, theres bad apples in every profession. But to lump all cops into that small minority is disgusting. Notice everytime there is a problem whats the first thing you hear people shouting, Call 911! No, dont call 911. Handle it yourself then since everyone wants to get rid of cops. Try and protect yourself against a huge man high on drugs waving a gun. Let me know how that works out for you

Evidently Blue Lives DON'T Matter anymore. So, so sad. Prayer for them and their families, if this is even allowed anymore.

It’s been oblivious for quite some time that network media is severely biased and have been purchased. Boycotting is the only answer. I watch BBC America. There’s no Advertising on BBC. It’s supported by taxes only. If all else fails turn off the TV and pick up a newspaper.
