Ferguson - A Media Event

The demonstrations, rioting, violence, and looting in Ferguson, Missouri, in the aftermath of the shooting of a young black man by a white police officer is perpetrated by the wall-to-wall coverage of the media seeking ratings.  This attracts the race pimps like Sharpton, Jackson, et al to rile up people and create a national media venue to spew their racial rhetoric and enhance their visibility of prominence on a national stage. This media attention also attracts all the outside riff-raff, rabble-rousers, and looters to incite violence and looting.  Ferguson is the looser

If all the media would fold their tents, take down their satellite dishes,  pack their microphones, and beat it out of town, things in Ferguson would quickly quite down.  There would no longer be a reason for the Sharptons, Jacksons, rabble-rousers, and looters to hang around in Ferguson.
