I didn't see it at first but the more I watched, the more I realized you are correct. Hence I avoid watching news in general, it's depressing.

And my wife wonders why I yell at the TV screen. . . Is Deadliest Catch or Killjoys on yet?

This seems relevant. The Culture of the Smug White Liberal

It's been disputed by the government (of course), but citizens in the UK and elsewhere say that there are neighborhoods where the police no longer go, and Sharia law is enforced. It doesn't take long for the citizens to cry foul.

You mean black people who live in middle to upper class neighborhoods aren't getting mowed down by police???? Weird how that works yet no one really points that out but it absolutely is a socio-economic issue.

Either way, I don't know why people watch CNN. Wolf Blitzer makes millions from just mindlessly watching events unfold and commenting on them, adding zero value and there video edits with that sister of the black suspect who was shot dead was downright disgraceful from a journalistic POV.

I watch CNN once and the headline story was a duck in central park walking around while being impale with an arrow. I decided I had better things to do with my time.

What color was the duck, and was it shot by law enforcement? We have a right to know! Quack lives matter!

Yeah... Because Bill O'Really and Sean Hannity are barely getting by on their modest salaries.

It's all "opinions" at the end of the day. At least we agree on Bimmers.

FAUX NEWS is far right.
MSNBC is far left.
CNN is as middle ground as its gonna get.

Just because they draw attention to what is Actually taking place in our great nation, no matter how unsettling it may be.

Riiiight, CNN is the "middle" that is hilarious! Kinda like this latest report:

It's as factual as polling gets...

You said above that black southerners would disagree that the US has a race problem in the south; do you think blacks in the north would feel differently?

Do you live in the south?

Yes. Heart of South Carolina. However, I spent my first 20 years in Wisconsin. Last 22 here in SC. Honestly have no idea how northern black folks feel. The folks I employ from the north say it's better up there, but that's all I have to go on. We didn't really have a black population in Green Bay, WI so I didn't get much of a first hand look at it up there. It's ground in deep here though. There's a hostility that runs just below the surface at all times coming from both sides and personally I find it an unpleasant place to live because of that.

Sometimes you have to "self balance" the news with several news sources, and sometimes it depends on which show you are watching on any particular channel. I have always enjoyed Wolf Blitzer when I can get home in time, though Greta on Fox is also great. I can't stand Don Lemon or Sean Hannity. Mostly, I get my news from my AP app, BBC app, and a little CNN & Fox late at night.
