7. Something I agree with these "protesters". The news should leave and not overcover trivial protests.

Give them a 10 second slug on the news and move on to a real story.

No need for live coverage, film, or interviews with damaged lunatics.

Our local TV News interviewed a Doctor who was outlining health concerns, and then followed that up with an interview with some random crank carrying an Open Up sign, as if one has anything to do with the other.

It ain't Point- Counterpoint. It's Point -Crazy Alex Jones' Bullshit.
