The media needs to be held to a higher standard or it is only going to deepen the already massive divide in that country. Their job is supposed to be reporting what is going on in the world around them, not trying to control or suppress it. I really hope the Biden administration restores the FCC fairness doctrine in some form or another, even if it won’t eliminate the biases of the major news networks at least they’ll only be able to report facts.

This just so ####ing tiresome.
When someone is being deliberately obnoxious and shouting offensive things at the camera, you do not engage them with respect or give them an opportunity to take up more of your time. You dismiss them like the obnoxious a-holes they are.
Let the social workers worry about whether people shouting offensive nonsense on the streets are in need of help.
