Is that accurate? No, not at all. Several groups analysed all the news stories broadcast about Donald Trump in 2017 and the results were shocking:<\/p>\n<div class=\"rtcode\">\n<p>Fast forward to May, 2020, and the horrifying video footage of a police officer murdering George Floyd on Memorial Day on the streets of Minneapolis, as bystanders begged the officer to take his knee off Floyd\u2019s neck \u2013 which the officer did not do, despite Floyd\u2019s pleas in the video of\u00a0<em>\u201cI cannot breathe\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>\u201cPlease, don\u2019t kill me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the video, police officer Derek Chauvin placed his left knee on the handcuffed Floyd\u2019s neck for around nine minutes until the unconscious or dead Floyd was placed upon a stretcher.<\/p>\n<p>This is a disgraceful, tragic incident. Riots have broken out in many cities all across America.<\/p>\n<p>Riots is what they are \u2013 but good luck finding that word in the mainstream media coverage. There\u2019s no shortage of \u2018protest\u2019, but at the time of writing \u2018riot\u2019 was nowhere to be seen on the\u00a0front pages of CNN, NBC, ABC, the Washington Post or in NYT.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, go no further than this full disclosure tweet by MSNBC anchor Craig Melvin:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/op-ed\/490182-minnesota-media-coverage-riots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/www.rt.com\/op-ed\/490182-minnesota-media-coverage-riots\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL\u2019S COMMENT: Yes, Mainstream Media are the enemies of freedom and of the People.
