The Kenosha District Attorney announces that no charges will be filed against the officers who shot Jacob Blake, leading to localized protests.

They frame the timing of these legal developments as a masking mechanism for other news.

A recent TMZ report about Kanye West using snake emojis is discussed as a media attempt to reignite his feud with Taylor Swift and discredit him.
