Another riot going on

commentary on a yahoo.com news story on violence at a White Supremacist rally somewhere:


Why doesn't this news story actually report the significant events of that particular incident. How did it start? Who started it? Why was it started? Who was injured? How were they injured? How was it stopped? Instead we get a "fake" news story that tells no significant information about the newsworthy event, but concentrates on irrelevant details related to the event while pretending to be a news story instead of an exercise in rhetorical composition. Are the salient details of the event even available to the general public even though the event is common knowledge? The answer is practically "no." If the public does not have good data, they cannot make effective decisions and are more easily coerced into compliance and obedience.
