If the same thing that happened to Floyd happened to a white man, the national news would have ignored it. They want to fan the flames of hatred, because those stories are good for ratings.

Good for ratings and the political motivation of the media.

Worse thing ever, was to take that board away. The two posters with the opposite view of 95% of the Villagers could go on there and post all day and leave this real board to us residents. Instead, we've got moderators who pick and choose what we can read and write!!!

But it doesn't mean that every we still institutional racism in this country. But it doesn't justify people rioting, looting and burning down businesses. But it doesn't mean that every one of us should have to apologize for being white.There are probably a lot more legitimate BUTS but the most important is that we should wait for our justice system to work. I'm sure that this cop is going to be convicted or something and do some time in prison.

I'm sure that there are a lot more legitimate BUTS so what is wrong with pointing them out.

I'm sure that you wouldn't be happy if a group of these so called protestors set your house on fire because of the actions of one bad cop in Minneapolis.

First of all, thank you for so perfectly pointing out my comment...about all of the "buts."

Secondly, of course, I wouldn't be happy...having ANY criminal burn my house.

Unlike so many we see here though, I certainly wouldn't blame and defect to the vast majority...who are peacefully protesting.

That’s opinion when about everything has political overtone or agenda now?

The reporting of the truth, intensified during the peaceful marches of the 60's for civil rights and the end to Jim Crow laws...and when that brave lady refused to give up her bus seat.

And over time the media has deviated from reporting the truth to promoting their agenda...

Sad but very true, once upon a time editorial pages where they gave us their opinion, now they slant and report the news based on their agenda.

Are you referring to the state-run propagandists at Fox "News"?

The resignation of the NYT Opinion editor and his assistant due to the childish temper tantrum of some millennial "reporters" over the Tom Cotton OP Ed should stand as definitive proof that the MSM has an agenda. The Old Gray Lady has truly lost her way.

The reporting of the truth stopped beginning in the '70's with the rise of so called "Identity Politics" and the subtle indoctrination of college students with Marxist propaganda. I first noticed this on the old "main stream" networks. The subtle use of certain words to convey an opinion instead of reporting the facts. It continues to this day, without the subtlety.

Walter where are you? CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX? I can't even trust what the weather man says much less these guys.

Media is just bad tv.

Read your older posts on TOTV. All the same slant. That's fine. I don't like posts just made to stir anger and slam people. We all know what you mean about today's post and "the boys". There are people on both sides who are useless and ugly. Stay to the middle. Man.

It was an ugly night on TV. No one won. We as a country looked like a bunch of losers.
