Protester Calling For ‘Muscle’ To Remove Reporter from Mizzou Demonstration Is Mass Media Professor

Posted by | November 10, 2015 10:50 | Filed under: Media/Show Business News Behaving Badly


You’d think a professor of mass media would appreciate the media’s role in covering a student demonstration.

CNN reporter Dylan Byers pointed out on Twitter that Melissa Click, an Assistant Professor was seen telling a camera man to “get out” in the video.

“Hey who wants to help me get this reporter out of here?” Click says. “I need some muscle over here.”

The incident happens at around 6:17 in this video taken by a man who identifies himself as a reporter. “I’m media, can I talk to you?” he asks.

Click holds a PhD in Communication and focuses her research on “popular culture texts and audiences, particularly texts and audiences disdained in mainstream culture,” according to her faculty page. Her current research projects include “50 Shades of Grey readers” and “the impact of social media in fans’ relationship with Lady Gaga.”

    “50 Shades of Grey readers” and “the impact of social media in fans’ relationship with Lady Gaga.”

    Can’t wait to see her results, the future of the planet may depend on it. Freaking hack.

    This shows how far left higher education has become. A collage media professor actively working to take away people’s 1st Amendment rights to report on what is happening at a protest at a public university. And you liberals are worried about the right?

      Wow, you can provide ONE (let’s count them – one…) example to damn ALL institutes of higher learning. If I use that exact same logic, I can point at David Vitter and say how that shows that Republicans have become diaper-wearing perverts and liars. Or I could point at Scott Roeder to show that Christians are murderers.

      Unfortunately for Oral Robert, one anecdote does not prove anything of the sort.

    University of Missouri Communications class lesson for today: With YouTube, you can go from being an unrecognized assistant professor to an internationally recognized personality in just a few seconds.
