Several 'liberal' media outlets glorified BLM protests, looting, and riots... were they held responsible for the actions and damage caused by their viewers?
that's silly. we were all inundated with 24/7 tv coverage for an eternity. its like asking for citation that the clear daytime sky was blue this last lifetime.
msnbc showed crowds of people marching with signs, fox showed crowds of people burning and looting.
both were actually happening.
each side just had a take to sell us, and only showed one aspect.
neither left nor right are trustworthy, but this time around the left's sanitizing of destruction was worse than the right's villification of protesters.

You said they ignored the looting as evidence that they glorified it?
C'mon. You don't glorify things by ignoring them
the fighting for justice rhetoric was the glorification.
burning/looting uninvolved people's property is injustice, so that had to be ignored to sell the rhetoric.
ultimately, none of it had anything to do with any case at hand. it was just acting out for the feels
if they had lynched the dirty cops, or looted/burned their houses, i would have understood that as something at least in the rough realm of justice.

Yes, what you're saying is exactly what the media you complain about said - that the riots weren't connected to the case at hand.
The protests were connected. That was fighting for justice. That was separate from the riots. In NYC, they were not in the same places. It was opportunistic. This is exactly what you said.
You're "both sidesing" this while repeating what one side said, which is weird. Contrarian centrists...

Fox, the news network allowed to poison minds and preach conspiracy theories on a daily basis with no reprimanding due to freedom of speech.
Right, so while these worm tongues are collecting phat checks to stay on air spewing lies and conspiracies, those that they poison and cause to act out, they cannot then be held accountable?
Something has to be done so yeah, you can say what you want, but if what you say causes people to be harmed/injured/killed, that person is then held accountable.
