Protests in Tennessee

Recent protests in Tennessee received very different coverage in the media.

The most recent was this past weekend in Shelbyville and Murfreesboro.

The media of course vilified those who organized it as evil white supremacists. Of course the fine print had to be read to discover that the only one that earned being arrested was a counter protester. The coverage of course quoted the usual Southern Poverty Law Center as the proof that the protesters were evil.

Nothing was mentioned about our “friends” Redneck Revolt who organized an effort to show up and confront the group that organized the protest.

It’s the same “free speech” activists that really mean speech that they approve of.

Of course liberal causes protests get sympathetic coverage. The rally to protest immigration policy get’s lots of coverage and no critical questions or comments. Black Lives Matter protests that shut down I-40 in Memphis for four hours. Of course the media and the Politicians were very supportive of the protestors. Of course Memphis is in a 487.
