no, he's doing what he does best, clickbait.

Yeah, I'm not even really sure what kind of point he's making in his column. I do think that people will read the tweets and will be pissed the frick off about it.

Political incorrectness. Racial insensitivity. I smell a suspension and an apology coming. Plus a separate statement from Fox Sports distancing themselves from his comments and expressing condolences for those who have lost their lives.

Prob just tired of hearing about how every cop is bad and overblown shite on tv that acts like its a pandemic

I'm sure he promoted rape culture somehow.

Is he saying it's the media's fault that a group of idiots burned down a CVS? Yeah, the media sucks but I don't know what his real point is.

That the media fans the flames. Its why they show pictures of trayvon as a kid and not as he looked when killed.
The media has a huuuge role in what goes on today and they encourage it mainly cause riots are gr eat tv and ratings. But they will blame video games for a child committing murder but will never look at themselvez when they promote a story one way and shite goes down.its sickening how the "news" isnt that anymore its agenda ratings driven

Bolstering his SEC credentials if anything

The media does play a role and they do way too much harm for ratings -- which is why the news stations weren't originally supposed to sell ads. It wasn't supposed to be about ratings.
However, I do think he's probably making the issue seem much smaller than it is. There is obviously a huge problem in regards to police and urban community relations that does need some fixing.
The media definitely isn't helping that but making a molehill out of that issue is pretty irresponsible, IMO.

I think his point is that the sensationalist media companies that are reporting on these more recent racially charged deaths at the hands of police are irresponsible and basically dropping a nuclear bomb on a bonfire. Through his "statistics", he's basically saying that these are isolated rare incidents that are being reported as if they're the status quo and that fear mongering is making media companies money.

But that issue is flamed by the media. They promote that you cant trust cops and baby one side saying do whatever you want its ok because you are angry.
they promote a white on black murder and never black on black or black on whitr..why? and if the white killer isnt found guilty (and they rarely show evidence from both sides they just promote a hes obviously guilty and if isnt found guilty its becaude hes white) they have whipped the other side into a frenzy by only presenting a us vs them news story which causes the shite we have been seeing.
the media coverahe of the last few high profile cases is what has brought on these reactions because they are building up. Everytime someone is foind innocent then frutration builds on other side who are only getti ng slanted news
The media has a astronomical role in all of this

As much as I hate Clay Travis, he is one of the few sports writers I can think of that calls out a lot the PC crap that surrounds sports.
He comes on the radio in Memphis every Monday around football season and it is unreal how quickly he can go from sounding like a good pundit to an absolute idiot.
