The NY Times used Twitter to get clicks, and you just proved that their method works because now we've all seen the article and wouldn't have otherwise.
Twitter is for morons, and businesses have to play along just to compete and survive.

Also I just re-read the tweet and no I don't have a problem with it. It says that peaceful protests gave way to fires and destruction. What's the biased part?

It didn't call them all "thugs" or "libs" or give a summary of Blake's arrest record. So, somehow, =! bias.

Yes, this is correct. Journalists shouldn't post or tweet for clicks. This is why journalism is dead.
And the fact that all of these Leftist Journalists continue to push the "Peaceful protest" line is despicable.

When you say "push the peaceful protest line," are you saying that they should stop reporting on protests that are peaceful? Seems biased only to report on violent protests.

Well, let's break down the words:

[ in reply to Re: Actual headline: ] |
|
"Peaceful marches in Kenosha, Wisconsin, against police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black resident, gave way to fires and destruction."
So...
-Police shot a dude named Jacob Blake. -He's black. -People first started protesting the shooting peacefully. -It eventually turned violent and destructive. #### got burned. -It was in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Yep, definitely a lot to get upset about here.

No. Just another example of a leftist news outlet covering for BLM riots.
Do you not see or understand that the MSM can’t talk about the riots without saying “it all started out as peaceful protests”. After months of this BS, you still don’t get it.
Do you remember how the MSM covered the actual peaceful protests when republicans were doing them?

We'll get three or four posts from various language experts about how the syntax is biased or they shouldn't have chosen certain words.
When in reality, they wanted a slanted headline that demonized anyone protesting and probably the dude who got shot, too.

More keywords, more chances at different people clicking...
Aug 25, 2020, 11:58 AM

or even the same person clicking multiple times because they don't know it's the same article.
It's all about the clicks.

When Trump wins a 2nd term, I guarantee you this nonsense is going to be put down. This guy was a known criminal who resisted arrest and suddenly reached into his car. He got what he deserved period. The one thing I don’t get is how a guy shot 7 times at point blank range survived. Cops there must be carrying .22’s.
That is simply not true. He had already been tazerd and was still stunned. I saw the video, he was trying to get into his car. They shot him in the back while his 3 children sitting in the car watched.
He actually was breaking up a fight when cops arrived to the domestic violence call.
No one deserves to be gunned down like that. You seem to think that if a cop shoots someone, they automatically deserve it. That is a shame.
Having prior run ins with the law is no grounds for summary execution. I've had prior run ins with the law. Am I now guilty of something? Anything?
It is precisely that knee-jerk, broad brushed whitewash that makes Trump supporters so disliked.

Your really reaching on this one. It's an accurate headline. The protests did begin peacefully, and then the criminals started breaking windows and setting fires.
Not a thing wrong with this headline: "Peaceful marches in Kenosha, Wisconsin, against the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black resident, gave way to fires and destruction."

I may be off base on this one. It just seems like all of the MSM continues to awkwardly interject that all of these riots started off peacefully.
I remember when republicans peacefully protested the stay-at-home order in Michigan, the headlines didn't read this nicely. The headlines had the picture of the crazy dude yelling in the face of someone and people calling them Grandma killers and white supremacists.
