'Trying to stir the pot?' CNN's Erin Burnett stokes the Ferguson fire [video]

Yep, almost.

With the Ferguson grand jury’s decision set to be announced shortly, “OutFront” host Erin Burnett is doing what she can to make sure that all hell breaks loose:

Erin Burnett is calling no charges the "nuclear option" LOL #Ferguson…..fan those flames!!

Jesus. Erin Burnett just referred to the potential lack of indictment as a "nuclear" outcome. Just stop.

Of course it’s uncalled for. But why should that stop her?

Transcript:

“The grand jury has been considering four possible charges against Wilson: First-degree murder, second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter. Or, the fifth option — the ‘nuclear option’ as far as some protesters say — no charges at all.”

Which protesters say that, Erin?

@radleybalko @ScotsFyre people like @ErinBurnett are the exact reason there will be arson and mayhem.

@ErinBurnett Your job is to REPORT news, not editorialize it. I'm disappointed that you're sensationalizing an already unstable situation.

There's something very disturbing about the media treating the run up to the Ferguson announcement like the Super Bowl pregame show.

@ErinBurnett @CNN The media is to blame for this circus. The story is no longer about the indictment, but the reaction to it. #Ferguson

@ErinBurnett @CNN what happened to the days when the media was in charge of just covering the news, not creating it? #FergusonDecision

— Josh M. (@JMSparty08) November 25, 2014

Those days are long gone.
