Exactly, the press made some people angry enough to go out and protest for the right reasons, and then everyone else saw, "Hey, if we do that, we can get on T.V.!!" and went out. I have really lost a lot of respect for the motivations of journalism during this time. It seems like even the newscasters are happy for more airtime when a horrible thing happens.
"Yes, a murder!!!! We'll have more people watching to see my new haircut!!!!"
