#3 Welcome to Bleeding Kansas.

When you tear down history you get to repeat it. Once is a tragedy, twice is a farce.

#5 Why all these Daily Fail posts?

#6 Why?
Pictures for some that are visual learners.

Extended and followup coverage of topics unpopular in US 'press' from international 'ugly' zones, including the US. It's world news with a UK focus as seen through a US lens.

Composition, right and left, no more opinionated than many popular blogs and titillating titles, difficult for some to parse, which encapsulate the article subject matter and set the presentation tone so as to allow the reader to bypass after a quick interest scan.

All that, and I enjoy reading and sharing with my friends.

#7 /\ Why? Probably because of their "says it all in the headline" article titles...

#8 I find it interesting how the pictures are cropped and framed. For instance, the 'Security Guard' story is made to test the spreading of BLM to include Latinos. Here, we are throwing chaff to cover an agent provocateur.

As you wish (it was nothing personal). Just a matter of taste, I guess. When I got my journalism degree a million years ago, editorializing (explicit or implicit) was strictly discouraged. Just the facts, ma'am.

#10 As TW commented in one of the associated posts:

Heavy.com did their usual 5 Fast Facts about Mr. Gugino here. It turns out the gentleman is a long time “peace activist” associated with the Western New York Peace Center — pro-Antifa, Communist, all the usual nonsense, active on Twitter and YouTube. Heavy has several videos of the event in question, taken from different perspectives.

The was the guy who was supposedly sniffing the police Bluetooth IDs.

I continue to be surprised by how many Rantburgers trained as journalists. You will have noticed, JHH, that nowadays journalists are explicitly taught that their job is to educate and nudge opinion in the proper direction. The Daily Mail is indeed a tabloid, but they publish the information we at Rantburg are interested in, and their bullet points allow the reader to quickly get key information before clicking int he link or moving on. And, should the reader be interested, they do link to local source articles, so those interested can explore in even greater depth.

We added them to as a regular source in 2015, when Chancellor Merkel opened Germany to “Syrian” refugees.They were a really good source for migrant misbehaviour stories that either were not appearing elsewhere or where key information was ordered masked. Breitbart was another — the two were the basis for the Muslim Colonist round-ups I did until they became too time consuming, even using key word searches instead of scrolling through the day’s articles.
