So, you're promoting MSNBC to the top of the journalistic heap because they're reporting... minor protests... as if the entire state of Wisconsin is ablaze and Rittenhouse is swinging from a tree in the Kenosha town square?

"If they are dropping coverage to reduce giving publicity and not egging on the potential violence, good on them, but they have in the past not shown such restraint."

They, and other news outlets, are dropping coverage because there are actually other stories going on in the world.

I know, it's hard to comprehend, because the whole outcome of the arc of Western Civilization hinges on whether Kyle Rittenhouse goes free or goes to prison... I mean, that's such a huge story that the verified Second Coming of Jesus shouldn't push it off the top of the electronic fold...

You’re talking about a news organization that kept Gabby  Petito as a headline for four weeks.

Yes, bigger things in the world should push it off the top of the page. My point was that in the past, similar stories haven not been pushed off the front of the page, and have been "overpromoted" in spite of bigger things going on. Suddenly (vs gradually), all the MSM outlets drop it at the same time, when yesterday they were showing videos of protestor fights and talking the burning of Kenosha. So yes, curious.

In the video, I literally heard, "I din do nuffin!" Sounds like things are going swimmingly.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/anti-rittenhouse-protestor-body-slams-reporter-arrested-battery

Unsurprisingly, the suspect who body-slammed a reporter was already on bail for some other offense.  He's facing felony bail-jumping and battery, among other charges.

Hung jury, mistrial, mistrial with prejudice... I don't really care.  The big thing I really care about is the prosecution being held accountable for their bullshit in this trial.

Take your pick

1) The prosecutor knows Kyle is innocent and went over the top to trigger a mistrial
2) The prosecutor feels he has to do whatever it takes to convict no matter stupid some of it may appear or they're (you know who) going to burn down his house and/or kill him.
3) He's a moron. I am reminded by how many total morons in congress were/are lawyers.
4) He's a dirt bag. The congress thingy applies here as well.
5) He's a moron and a dirt bag

MSNBC banned from court building after someone claiming to be a reporter for them was harassing the jury bus. Ran a red light to chase the bus down and was filming.

Sweet....

My guess is that they'll file a writ to have that ruling overturned by the end of the day.

Says he was instructed to follow the jury bus.

Quote
    Schroeder said the man who identified himself as "James J. Morrison," a producer with @MSNBC said was instructed by "Irene Byon"

    A quick search of her name shows she's a booking producer with @NBCNews

But

    Judge Schroeder is going to make a statement this morning about an arrest being made by Kenosha PD after a #KyleRitthenhouse juror/jurors were followed by someone who claimed to work for NBC or MSNBC. Those outlets apparently say the person does not work for them @LawCrimeNetwork

Seriously, I just thought it was curious how the coverage had been deemphasized when they had so been breathless before, even after deliberations had started.

Nothing to see here because it's totally normal for reporters to do this.
Well so is murder for some people.

Quote
    Perspective: Court TV correspondent who knows James J. Morrison just said a reporter following a jury bus is a long-standing practice by news outlets in big trials to get info on juror panel so news outlets can reach out to jurors quickly after verdict. "Happens all the time."

    — Steve Lookner (@lookner) November 18, 2021
Quote
    Court TV correspondent says he doesn't want to defend the practice, and acknowledges some people might think it's despicable. Says when a reporter follows a jury bus they're looking for the jurors' license plates so they can get their contact info to contact them after verdict.
