A newspaper in Memphis quickly apologize after protestors complained about its choice of headline in the wake of the deadly police shooting in Dallas.
“Gunman targeted whites,” read the lead story headline in the Commercial Appeal, a member of the USA Today network. The headline was accurate, as Dallas gunman Micah Xavier Johnson explicitly talked about wanted to kill white police officers before he was eliminated via robot bomb.

"White" teen.
"white"
Commercial Appeal is in survival mode. Memphis is a black city so when these accidental acts journalism happen, if no ‘deep heartfelt’ apology is issued their writers could be in danger or there could be a rash of traffic, zoning and other citations suddenly start being issued.
They are walking a very fine line.
That kid doesn’t look white to me.
“The media is in complete submission to the hate-America left.”
Only up to a certain point. When the wimpy pajama boys in the propaganda press know that their own asses are the target, they will abandon the leftist cause in record time and fall silent.
Part Pavlik Morozov, part Clock Boy.
Memphis used to be one helluva town until February 12, 1968. The start of the sanitation worker strike that led to the event of April 4th.
Lol.... clock boy. Definitely a red-diaper baby.
We don’t call it the Commie Appeal for nothing
It rubs off....
Sounds about right. I wrote for a college paper during the Iranian crisis and the jerks tried burning down the office then stole the typeset. The teacher was happy and yet refused to publish my story on the spies, the religious fanatics and the threats pre-fire. That was the end of elective journalism for me.
The media IS the American hating left.
Not more than 2 that I can think of who are honest.
WTF? Have you been to Memphis lately? Bass Pro Shops opened up a million dollar facility downtown in the Pyramid and it is failing miserably because people that go there can't guarantee their safety. Downtown Memphis businesses have to have buzzers and bars on their doors for protection. Beale Street is safe but don't get away from there as the criminal element is just looking to mug, rob or rape unsuspecting visitors.
Wow what a brainwashed sheep. How sad!
For me, it started going downhill in 1964 when a fellow student at my high school was stabbed by a black downtown and everybody stopped going downtown at night after that.
The media along with the majority of academia. They are responsible for this nonsense.
New Orleans as in KATRINA! I lived there...and got the hell out!!!
“Especially in a city with a 65% African-American population.” Yeah...of which perhaps 20% can actually read your paper.
Black racists and liberals don’t want it known that whites are being victimized or targeted...so that whites can be more easily be victimized and targeted.
Pastor Earle Fischer is a racist and a fascist.
