Observations on some of the important issues and facts you haven't seen or heard in South Florida the last two weeks, per #GeorgeFloyd's death and the ensuing riots, looting, and media manipulation that have taken place since his death to create a new media narrative.

Observations on some of the important issues and facts you haven't seen or heard in South Florida the last two weeks, per #GeorgeFloyd's death and the ensuing riots, looting, and media manipulation that have taken place since his death to create a new media narrative.

 Read, listen and learn.
And pull up a chair.
You'll see that there's so very much more that you never knew or learned about the past two weeks, as well as the real story on Antifa, a group which both the national and South Florida press corps have done a terrible job of  reporting upon.

This all should have been posted earlier in the week, but I had some problems with the Blogger software agin and it was not appearing in print as I intended, so I'm quite frustrated and seriously thinking of migrating the blog to another place that allows more reliability and creativity on the overall look.

 Here are some carefully selected sights, sounds and scenes abut protests and looting in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd last Monday that you didn't see in Minnapolis last Saturday if you watched any of South Florida TV newscasts, or, the Sunday morning current events/public policy TV chat shows at CBS4, NBC6, WSVN, or Local10. Pathetic!

 Ask yourself why in the year 2020, with the amazing technology that exists today that allows people around the world to communicate, and the fact that, well, IT'S THEIR JOB, that's STILL the case in South Florida.

 Why is the news management of all the South Florida TV stations so piss-poor?

 Next time you see a local South Florida TV reporter from an English-language station somewhere, walk right up to them and tell them that you are not happy with their current conscious diet of half-assed, context-free "news coverage."

 As I've been saying since I returned to South Florida in October of 2003 after 15 years of living and working in Washington, D.C., and blogging about here the past 12 years, imagine how different so many things down here would be if South Florida, i.e. COMCAST/INFINITY had a well-funded and well-managed local cable TV channel whose focus was local news coverage of Broward and Miami-Dade counties, two of the best places for actual news in the country, though not always for the best reasons.

 The lack of a local news cable channel that takes advanatge of the stories and talent here is just one of the 1,001 things that marks South Florida as a thoroughly second-rate media market, among so many other obvious tell-tale signs.
Miami TV news coverage is now demonstrably WORSE than it was in the 1970's and 1980's.

The logical result of rioting and looting for days?

Julio Rosas' entire Twitter thread about what took place in Minneapolis near the Minneapolis 5th precinct police station -which the police abandoned- is here:

And since you won't see any informed reference to it in Miami media today, I decided to connect some dots for you as a public service:







According to the the national news media, George Floyd was a great guy with tons of friends. 
Okay, but then perhaps you could explain to me then why once he was furloughed from his job as a bar/night club bouncer, because of COVID19, his friends ignored him, which is why he was trying to pass counterfeit money
when he was arrested.
Why didn't even one friend of his help him?

 If you have seen any stories or columns anywhere that specifically address this question, please let me know. It's the question the news media seems eager to NOT ask, even as they now take advantage of the situation to virtue-signal from the press box.
