    Hmmmmmm. Must've missed this reply to your original accusation on page 1 of this thread. Whether that is intentional or not I leave to the audience to determine. Anyway, I REPEAT:

    The original article - rate that...

    LEFT-CENTER BIAS
    These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation.


    • Overall, we rate the Star Tribune Left-Center Biased based on editorial positions that moderately favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and clean fact check record.

    Detailed Report
    Factual Reporting: HIGH

    World Press Freedom Rank: USA 45/180

    History

    Founded in 1867, The Star Tribune is the largest newspaper in the U.S. state of Minnesota. The Star Tribune serves the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area and is distributed throughout the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, the state of Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. It typically contains a mixture of national, international and local news, sports, business and lifestyle content.

    The Star Tribune has won 6 Pulitzer Prizes and the current editor is Rene Sanchez.

    Funded by / Ownership

    The paper is privately published by Star Tribune Media Company LLC, which is owned by Glenn Taylor, who is an American billionaire businessman who is the majority owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves NBA basketball team, owner of the Minnesota Lynx WNBA basketball team and a former Republican member of the Minnesota Senate. The paper is funded through advertising and subscriptions.

    Analysis / Bias

    In review, the Minneapolis Star Tribune covers local news through journalists with minimal bias such as this: Taxes may rise on cabins rented part time. National and international news is republished through the Associated Press. The newspaper also features a section dedicated to politics that utilizes such sources as the New York Times and the Associated Press.

    Editorially, the Star Tribune has endorsed Democratic Presidential candidates since 1984, including Hillary Clinton in 2016. Op-eds are fairly balanced, however more certainly favor the left such a this: Legal threat to ACA ought to be front and center in 2020 election. In general, news is reported factually, while editorially they moderately favor the left.

    Pretty sure every person who participated in these riots had the same goal... every person who threw a brick or frozen water bottle or molotov cocktail or shined laser pointers in people's eyes did the same thing. Are we condemning them, too?

    I mean, I am. But are you?

    Not sure why this is newsworthy.

    You sure about that? It seems the in thing to do is to blame orange man bad, and/or white supremacists to avoid self responsibility and feel better about their miserable, ungrateful lives.

    So many are clearly not protesters. Thousands should be arrested and brought to court. Get 'em all and make them be punsished.

    The OP and substance of this thread is just further proof that the left never has self accountability. It is always someone else's fault. Apparently the flavor of the day is that 2 plus months of violent riots and destruction throughout the country, are all because a "white supremacist" broke a few windows. And the icing on the cake: is that now the fed police are being sent in to "cause" more rioting.

    Certainly the rioters can't be blamed for their own actions.... What a clown world that would be...….

    Fourth OP on this topic none of which based on anything more than conjecture.

    Yes, and so what? Does the action of one person on one day, justify anything the thousands of rioters have done since? Nope. Their actions can only be controlled by guess who, themselves!

    William Barr is supposedly investigating the Boogaloo Movement for any role in hijacking peaceful protests and inciting violence. Of course the top investigator said he doesn't even read Trump's tweets. He is likely training them so that they can have martial law by October.

    I believe if we were told the truth that we would know right wing extremists are responsible for the majority of the violence in the protests. It's pretty obvious that Trump and Barr will cover for their "very fine " people.

    That's the thing

    Was it one person?

    The white supremacists clearly WANT this rioting
