The press is not interested in the truth.

They are interested if fanning the flames of a race war.

During the Rodney King riots they replayed the beating tapes in an incendiary fashion to keep it going.

They used to call it yellow dog journalism.

This is nothing but pure malice with fore thought.

Actually, during the King coverage, they only played part of the tape. The part where Rodney got off the ground and charged the cops was left out. Matter of fact, the Federal jury held that the part of the tape the media repeatedly showed depicted a proper use of force against a resisting suspect. The Federal jury convicted not on the use of force, but on the finding it went on too long. Strangely, the officer who administered the kick that caused the incident to become extended wasn’t tried.
