MSNBC host Joe Scarborough is scorching the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, and their coverage by American news agencies – including his own – as “B.S.”

“I have sat here quietly and listened to B.S. being spewed all over this network and all over other networks. I can’t take it anymore,” a frustrated Scarborough said on Monday’s “Morning Joe” program.

Ferguson has been Ground Zero for racially charged protests since August when Michael Brown, 18, was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson. The city erupted in violence, fires and looting again last week when a grand jury said it was not going to indict the white police officer for any crime in connection with the black teen’s death.

“There are so many great people to embrace as heroes in the black community that deciding you’re going to embrace a guy that knocked over a convenience store, and then according to grand-jury testimony, acted in ways that would get my children shot … that’s your hero? That’s the reason you want to burn down black businesses?” Scarborough asked.
