S.C. state senator’s violence solution? Shut down the media [View all]

A South Carolina lawmaker has a unique idea to cure the nation’s ills after a week of violent clashes: Shut down the media.

State Sen. Katrina Shealy posted on Facebook on Friday that it is her view that racial differences and law enforcement are not the biggest problems America needs to overcome. Instead, she said, turn off the media spigot and take a time-out.

“Our biggest problem could very possibly (most likely) be the Media!!!” she posted. “If we could shut down all media for one month except for weather reports and let everyone else do their job I bet we would see a change.”

She continued, “The media sensationalizes everything that happens stirring the pot, fueling an already blazing fire. Now you may agree with me or not but that is why we all have our own Facebook Page...to Voice our Opinions!!! God Bless the USA and pray for those in harms way today.”
