Quote:Media bias caused the riots?  I'm pretty sure it was a group of social instigators who saw an opportunity and took full advantage of the situation.  The media came along for the ride once they thought they had an angle to pull a Trayvon 2.0. 

 

Now, did media coverage PROLONG the situation in Ferguson?  Sure seems that way now.  Once they lost interest, things died down pretty quickly. 

 

The lack of national media coverage in Utah probably has something to do with the fact that it's just not an interesting story. 
 

I'm not sure if your response was in contradiction to mine as we agree on the genesis of the riots. The trouble that ensued is more of a chicken or egg question, did the riots continue due to the media coverage or did the media coverage continue because the rioting did, too?
