Did the media get Ferguson wrong?

Well, there's a first time for everything.

Yes, the media got Ferguson wrong, by jumping to liberal politically correct conclusions.

Because a white cop was in an altercation with a black person, the liberal media lens view is that the white cop is somehow at fault.

The same narrative was involved with Trayvon. Because a white Hispanic was in an altercation with a black person, he was considered to be at fault.

The media PC world view is that, in any altercation between a black person and a non-black person, the burden of proof is on the non-black person, to prove that they didn’t provoke or enflame the situation which resulted in the altercation.

Some liberals might call me “blackphobic” or some other term of derision. I am afraid of black people, to the extent that I am afraid of getting into any sort of confrontational situation with such a person. I would be afraid of being blamed somehow for whatever happened.

In the old south, blacks were rightly afraid of getting into any confrontation with whites, because of fears of getting in trouble with the law and worse. Today, instead of equal justice, we have the reverse situation, in which all of us have to fear getting in trouble somehow with blacks, because we will be presumed guilty until proven innocent.
