If one makes it to DC, from the forty-odd things to see....I’d rate the Newsmuseum near the absolute bottom. I lived there for 3.5 years and made a trip over to see it one Saturday. It’s roughly $20 for entry, and I considered the show area to be awful marginal and not worth visiting unless you were some library science graduate.
As for Ferguson’s entry as a show item at the museum...one might question if anyone in Ferguson ever read the local newspaper or the various accounts of what happened that afternoon.
The Newseum is kind of an interesting museum, but in typical liberal fashion, it’s the most expensive tourist attraction in DC.
A whole lot of it is self-aggrandizement to the journalist. Yes, the soldiers were brave, but just look at the JOURNALIST who was embedded with them.
That kind of stuff.
Do they have a section in the museum on how to properly throw bottles filled with urine at police officers? Or were there none left over to put on display?
How about the risks to the entire country when these foolhardy journalists lie, encourage riots and stir the pot?
Ferguson is no longer the name of a city. It’s now a symbol. Just like they made Katrina a symbol.
Madness.
