2. Not doubting you of course

and I know that Alex Tabet has received a lot of criticism (he's the MSNOW reporter) but if you think that's bad, Whitney Wild on CNN seems to be auditioning for FAUX. During several "hits" she spoke among a yelling crowd so that you could not understand her or the crowd. She was doing this to emphasize how rowdy and out of control the crowd was. The way I know this is because when asked, she put the microphone closer to her mouth and it was easy to hear her. Yet she had to be asked to do it every time they returned to her. Then she kept blaming the "local" law enforcement and repeating that that's who the crowd was mad at, not ICE. Even Dana Bash had to correct her on that one. She then kept tying this incident into the George Floyd protests in an obvious effort to scare the public about "violent" protestors when it was ICE that killed someone. Sorry for the long post but it was jaw droppingly bad reporting.
