the media and the truth

[gerald]

Queston? why does the Mainstream Media say ---

The grand jury decision released Monday ignited violent protests. Brown, who was black, was unarmed when fatally shot by a white officer in August.

But they do not say that the grand jury decided that the officer acted in self defense? --- Is this not propaganda as in what Joseph Goebbels would say? ( The grand jury consisted of six white men, three white women, two black women and one black man. Nine votes are needed to indict. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the racial makeup of the grand jury is similar to the racial breakdown of St. Louis County, which is about 24 percent black and about 68 percent white. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ferguson-ca ... -revealed/ ) Isn't this how one creates civil unrest by promulgating half truths?

"CNN is lying when they say Ferguson protests were ‘peaceful’" http://nypost.com/2014/11/29/why-cnn-wa ... -peaceful/

"The network helped stir up a nation to the point of violence. Yet, since the protesters must always be on the side of angels, CNN lies about the destruction that follows."

If one does not want to call a "spade a spade" how can society solve problems using rational thought? or are there other reasons?
