quote [ In sum: a $10 million per year anchor for a Comcast subsidiary brings on employees of Bezos and Rupert Murdoch to ask if the press has a problem covering billionaires – and concludes it does not. They confirm the point using a tweet as the modern equivalent of a “man on the street” quote, itself an easily-manipulated device (you can keep asking “men on the street” questions until you get the answer you want), but at least it requires human interaction. That’s circling wagons, not testing hypotheses. ]

I remember later with those kids being thrown into that situation after school where they basically had no where to go except face off with the police. So much of the media was centered around the kids and the damaged they cause while completely leaving out the events leading up to it.
