NYC Mayor Blames Media for Division

At a press conference to address the recently murdered NYPD officers, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio railed against the media, saying it promoted the city’s divisions. When asked about protesters behaving badly against police, he shot back at the reporter, asking, “What are you gonna do? Are you gonna keep dividing us?” De Blasio said the media has ignored the largely peaceful protests in favor of the ones at which police tensions have been visible, and then called out reporters for enabling the division: “That’s how you want to portray the world, but we know a different reality.”
