"last thing previous ownership did was pay a multi-million-dollar bribe to the president...somehow the Trump administration approved the sale"

2. Pelley still finds a way to frame this as a "both sides" story.

The phrase "they were half of these confrontations" is incredibly damning.

This is a discussion about a story of a government being unleashed on and committing violence against its own people, and Pelley still finds a way to frame this as a "both sides" story.

Important to stress that:
a) Pelley isn't some resistance hero, he's a reactionary centrist;
b) Even this wasn't enough for Bari

That’s February, and my team and I are doing a story about the protests in Minneapolis against the ICE crackdown there. We’ve interviewed Senator Rand Paul, Republican, because he’s going to hold hearings into this, and the fact that a Republican was going to do that was quite newsworthy. So, we interviewed Senator Paul and then built out a story about what had happened — the killing of Renee Good, the killing of Alex Pretti, the protests. I felt it was very important to identify that the protesters themselves were being very aggressive and that they were half of these confrontations, and so I instructed my producers to find images in which we see the protesters acting aggressively. We found a picture of a protester chest-bumping an officer. We found a picture of an officer being hit in the head with a snowball. We culled together a lot of video of protesters screaming in the faces of officers because we were going to talk about the killing of Pretti and the killing of Good, and it seemed to me important to tell the audience about the entire context. I thought we’d done a really good job with this. We also included a picture of Alex Pretti before he was killed kicking out a taillight on a police car and made a point of saying, this is Alex Pretti and this is what he did.
