We at the Bachelor condemn the killing of George Floyd.  The Heir also condemns the riots that took place.  But among other things the Heir's having to decide which to get to first in getting off his chest, one of those is the apparent media equation of Protests Equal Riots.  The media very well knows that's totally wrong, and the Heir publicly shames them for abdicating their journalistic responsibilities.  The media tried to throw in a weasel of, well the rioters only make up a small fraction of the protesters.  But the Heir points out that's like saying that ants make up a small fraction of the bee population.  This reporting failure is apparent to the Heir on audio where he clearly heard, "protestors have appeared for another day in a row, and a couple of stores were destroyed."  But you don't see that problem when you only get your information on visual.  What you see is clips of peaceful protesters intermixed with street fires, and then you have nothing that stops you from thinking, oh the protesters must have caused the street fires!  This morning the Heir skipped through audio program headlines that sound like very weak editorials, and focused on the headlines for the actual channel instead.  He's thinking, programs suck.  He's going through one program headline after another saying, that's BS, that's BS, that's BS.  And that's all he feels up to saying right now.
