Caught: ABC Whitewashes Baltimore Riots, Change Headline from "Violent Protests" to "Mourning"
Pundit Press ^ | 4/26/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 04/26/2015 11:29:33 AM PDT by rightistight

ABC changed the headlines of one of their articles today to give the riots in Baltimore a more sympathetic tone. The headline now reads, "Family, Friends in Baltimore Mourn Death of Arrested Man." The article, with the exact same url, had this headline earlier today: "Violent Protests in Baltimore for Man Injured in Custody."

And despite the fact that the headline now reads, "Family, Friends in Baltimore Mourn Death of Arrested Man," the url still clearly shows the article's original, more accurate headline, as it contains part of the previous headline in it: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/freddie-grey-protests-turn-violent-baltimore-30590887.

The wording of the article drastically changed as well, despite the fact that both versions say they were published today. And, importantly, ABC did not write that the article had been edited in any way.

The original reads, "A protest over the death of Freddie Grey, who was critically injured in police custody, started peacefully with thousands marching through downtown streets before the demonstration turned violent and volatile," emphasizing how the violence has spiraled.

Now, it is the opposite, with ABC claiming that the violence has subsided into peaceful mourning: "A night of violence gave way to a day of mourning Sunday for a man who died after sustaining serious injuries while in the custody of Baltimore police."

and that surprises you?

Wait until the headline announcing:

"Businesses in Baltimore throw open doors for mourners to receive free items for wakes",

in lieu of:

"Rioters loot every liquor store in Baltimore, burn Walmart to ground".

The old, beat-up chicks with other media outlets are repeatedly posting the same videos of the minor incidents from yesterday afternoon with hysterical headlines claiming that something new happened.

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
     Hysteric.] (Med.)
     A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
     in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
     exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
     so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
     the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
     paroxism or fits.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
           the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
           and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
           throat. The affection presents the most varied
           symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
           diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
           alone. Hysteric

Is it the black mayor or the black police chief that they think is racist?

Ha, ha, ha! Looks like the Ruskie chick was trying to gather propaganda in the wrong neighborhood. And notice the typical neo-Nazi comment against Jews in the username of the Russian who posted the video.

How much of this is to protect Martin O’Malley’s “leadership” credentials in Maryland?

Libtards must rewrite history to empower oppressed social victims and to further their own agenda of exposing the oppressors.
