What I thought then hasn’t changed - &%$@ the mainstream news media.
“What I thought then hasn’t changed - &%$@ the mainstream news media.”
Precisely.
If you recall, the MSM showed a tightly edited clip of King getting beat with nightsticks, and then looped it endlessly on every available network.
Of course, what led up to that action was intentionally left out, a combative King refusing to cooperate and fighting the police. The cops finally let him have it. The image of King being beaten was seared into everyone’s memory, not so much Reginald Denny getting pulled from his truck and having his head smashed in as “revenge”.
The media likes to pick sides right off the bat, and stokes the embers until there are flames, to get the dramatic result they desire. Then they stand back and say “oh, what an unfortunate situation...”
Hypocrites all, with blood dripping from their fangs.
