CBS Cheers ‘Art Displays,’ ‘Street Fair-Like Atmosphere’ of Seattle ‘Autonomous Zone’

[See NewsBusters for more.] Rather than focus on the radical and dangerous nature of protesters taking over and occupying a section of Seattle, CBS This Morning on Friday instead highlighted the “street fair-like atmosphere,” including “art displays and “outdoor movies.” (Sounds like a nice place to go shopping.) Co-host Gayle King began, “The President is still pushing Seattle's mayor to reclaim a neighborhood that protesters have turned into a, quote, ‘cop-free zone.’” Reporter Anna Werner tried to describe the situation as much better now: “After multiple nights of violent clashes, police in a show of de-escalating tensions in the Capitol Hill district boarded up their station and left. Now the area called the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ, is controlled by mostly peaceful protesters.”
