CNN crew lucky this wasn't an early 20th-century moment. They might have been taken before an insurgents tribunal, condemned as obsolete in purpose, and carted off to a firing squad.

‘Get The F**k Out Of Here!’: Video shows CNN staffer almost knocked clean out at BLM protest
https://dailycaller.com/2021/04/14/prote...minnesota/

EXCERPTS: Protestors at the Brooklyn Center Police District in Minnesota chased away a CNN camera crew as the state braces for the fourth night of violent protests in the wake of the death of Daunte Wright.

A CNN camera crew member is seen on video getting hit in the face with a water bottle, visibly stunned and stumbling to the ground. [...] Moments later, a large group of protestors followed CNN reporter Miguel Marquez and his crew member, telling them to “get the f*** out of here.”

Their car was then hit with multiple water bottles and eggs as they drove off, video shows... (MORE - details)

Health and Safety? CNN Covers Up Crew Member Battered at BLM ‘Protest’

EXCERPT: . . . a member of the Black Lives Matter mob beamed him in the head with an apparently frozen water bottle, causing him to seemingly lose consciousness for a second and fall to the bottom. Though the crew was later chased away from the chaotic and violent scene, CNN by no means talked about it on-air (as of this weblog’s publication).

In a video recorded and posted to Twitter by Washington Examiner reporter Nic Rowan, a crowd will be seen swarming across the CNN crew supporting correspondent Miguel Marquez. [...] moments later, the water bottle flew in from off-camera and struck an older, male crew member within the head with a loud thud.

After he crumpled to the bottom, the BLM crowd could possibly be heard mocking his scenario. “A water bottle knocked you out,” said a person mentioned earlier, then laughing...

[...] In a follow-up video, Rowan documents the CNN crew being chased down the road. The crew sought refuge in an SUV and drove off. Some within the mob had been unaware of the scenario and could possibly be heard asking what occurred. One girl responded with: “CNN being some bitches, so that they’re getting kicked out.”

Yes, when propagandists try to hide reality, independent journalists are forced to cover it alone.
But someone reporting on inconvenient reality is a bad thing, right?

Nobody gets reality in 3 minute pre-edited soundbytes. Haven't you learned that by now?

Of course not. The reality has to be framed with a narrative, so people know whet they're expected to think about it, without having to decide that for themselves. Reality isn't what you see or experience, it's what someone else tells you is the "real context" you apparently missed.
