    "Both Huffington Post and CNN posted tweets and stories showing readers where to go to attend the Ferguson protests being planned in cities across the nation. But readers were less than appreciative and charged the two news sites with joining the protesters, advertising for them, and even inciting the riots.
    On Monday, CNN posted a story and map of the protests, bringing scorn upon itself. Huffington Post was even worse by advertising "how to find a Ferguson protest in your area."
    Fans of both news services were incensed at this breach of journalistic practice. Readers criticized the news outlets, saying that instead of being reporters, HuffPo and CNN were joining forces with the protesters and helping them plan and populate their demonstrations."

    I can see the horrible tragedies arising from people getting lost on their way to a riot. The media has a responsibility to help them get to the riot ready to rock.

    Some in the media see their job as keeping the story going.

    Sadly I am not the least bit surprised that these faux news outlets would be giving new meaning to the old term 'yellow journalism' in that if there is no real story then go and invent one; but not just for financial reasons but for ideological ones. There is an advertisement by a Right of Center political group that is going to play to the nation today which directly ties the bigger versions of these leftwing media outlets directly to the Obama administration and the Left's rogue president. It should make one heck of an impact because the Left of Center political groups have let down their guard after this recent mid term political shellacking, and are not going to be prepared to the Right to tell the absolute truth to the nation on today of all days:

    Between CNN and the Huffington Post advocating social unrest and this ad pointing out (among other things) that the three traditional broadcast networks are essentially working for the Obama administration, people are having their eyes opened in ways that the Left's leadership never wanted to occur. Sweet!
