The ONLY thing the media is interested in is the story, which means readers, clickers, watchers, and "award winning coverage". Traffic always stops for a wreck. News is always bad. Let them start burning and looting and it'll be on the front page. Let them start shooting people and they'll interrupt Judge Judy. Media is a business. This website is a business. Everytime someone logs in, somebody, somewhere is benefiting.

Its simple, the people of Ferguson had less to lose than the guys in Oregon. They "feel" that they are pushed further in the corner so they fight harder. Right or wrong, stupid or not, completely pathetic, call them what you will. Cops shot a "druggie" or whatever. Feds do some BS with public land. There isnt a person in Ferguson that gives a crap about public land. Not a fella in Oregon gives a schit about some guy with a criminal record that was killed by cops.

Both are fed up with what they see as an overabundance of control and wrongdoing. Doesn't matter the outlet they chose to "fight the power"

Big picture.

I can't argue for or against either group, but can appreciate wanting to be left the phuqq alone.....
