De Blasio Blames Media for Making Anti-Cop Protesters Look Bad

That would be the same media which kept insisting that the violent racist protesters were peaceful.
But progressives like Obama and De Blasio seem to have an odd love/hate relationship with the media. The moment a negative note intrudes into the positive coverage, they lash out.
He accused the reporters assembled in front of him of stoking outrage by focusing on “the few” protesters doing “immoral” things.
“They are wrong,” he said, his voice rising.
“But are you going to keep dividing us? What you manage to do is pull up the few who do not represent the majority.”
He called it “unfair,” and insisted most protesters were peaceful but “you guys enable” the troublemakers.
He went on in the vein for several minutes, becoming more forceful and shutting down a persistent reporter by addressing him as “my friend,” a phrase he paired with a death stare.
Rather than convince, the tirade revealed. Like looking at an X-ray, we saw the real de Blasio. It wasn’t a pretty sight.
His heart remains with the protesters, and in spirit, he is still with them, denouncing the very police force that works for him. His passion for the anti-cop agenda is so deep that he wasn’t capable of following his own advice to take a break from divisiveness for even a single day.
Is the media not supposed to report on the arrests of violent protesters who attack police? Is it supposed to carry even more water for that crowd?
Is Bill de Blasio, who turned over City Hall to Al Sharpton, really accusing the media of dividing New Yorkers? Does he think the cops turned their backs to him because of the media?It’s a pathetic and ridiculous performance.
