Report on police abuse at a protest because it’s an important topic? Nope.
Report on police abuse at a protest because it happened to a famous war criminals sister? Yes.
Truly disgusting that nothing would’ve been said if it wasn’t for her. The media needs to be held accountable.
- Oh yes, I totally agree with the person calling for attacking the media, how dare they see a thing that happened and tell me about it! Truly deserving of a death sentence.
  
  Because media bias is not a thing. You probably believe everything said on Fox or OANN as well.
- You're not wrong and it's sad you're being dv'd simply because "the other side" doesn't have a monopoly on the cult of personality.
More integrity than her brother.
Who cares? Your being born adjacent to someone doesn’t matter.
- Okay, instead let’s care because she’s an activist and founder and director of a foundation that advocates for disabled children. Seems like she matters to a lot of people, despite who her half-brother is.
  
  I wish that was part of the headline because that's actually pretty great.
- Which I assume is why her familial relationship was not the focus of the article.
- You genuinely care this person was born adjacent to someone else otherwise you wouldn't have even cared
  
  I care that a headline was wasted as a result.
