The Washington Post and The Atlantic declined to explain Friday why they snubbed an explosive report on the late Martin Luther King Jr. from a renowned historian who discovered old FBI files making sexual allegations against the civil rights icon.
...
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said it did not publish the report because it’s impossible to independently verify the claims, or if the primary source documents actually exist. The outlet also said decades-old events do not fall under “the typical domain” of a newspaper.
...
..critics of Garrow’s report, including several historians who talked to The Washington Post, [claim] that the files are summaries of primary source material still under seal at the National Archives. The summaries were apparently inadvertently included in a trove of newly declassified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Garrow’s critics also point out the memos come from a time when the FBI was waging a disinformation campaign against King as part of a larger effort to undermine civil rights leaders.

And God help us all if they do a DNA screen and discover that he was 50+ percent non-Black
Statues, schools and Blvds all across this land will be torn down, ripped up and ground up into dust
Just put the word Trump in the report. Instantly no verification will be necessary and it will be in the news cycle for months on end.
TRUTH
As in “the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help us God.”
I thought it said “Explosive MILK story.”
Me, too.
Explosive milk?
Usually when it’s on it’s way out.
For one thing, the tapes were illegal. There were no search or wiretap warrants issued by a judge. It was another Hoover blackmail abuse operation. Hoover gave it a fig leaf of not being illegal by having Bobby Kennedy give him permission. Of course remember, he got permission from someone he also held blackmail on.
Shady. America’s secret police must be disbanded. They are probably beyond redemption.
MLK is a deity in this country, elevated to the right hand of God by leftists everywhere. Every single town in America has a road named after him, every state was bludgeoned into his holiday, every public office MUST close on his birthday. No a single person should wonder why the media has ignored the story.
that’s quite the cheesy comment.
They don’t have to explain. We know why. Government-certified victim groups have immunity from all accusations of wrongdoing. Whitey is to blame instead.
Unless it's Donald Trump joking about grabbing kitty cats. Or Brett Kavanaugh supposedly glomming some skank at a frat party. Then it's not only "fresh" news, there's no need for any verification.
“The Atlantic” screed on decades old Judge Kavanaugh accusations.

Update—Baltimore Sun - June 8, 2019
“In 1977, a federal judge, as part of an SCLC lawsuit, ordered that all tapes and transcripts from the FBI’s electronic surveillance of King be held under seal in the National Archives for a period of 50 years and that the tapes or their contents could not be disclosed except under a specific court order.
That would make them available in 2027. The last attempt to open the files failed in 1983, when Republican Sen. Jesse Helms sought to have the file opened before he voted on the King National Holiday bill.”
[Senator Jesse Helms knew about the rape-tape. Everyone thinking this is a FBI smear-hit-job is sadly wrong: Garrow admitted a few days ago that while researching his first MLK book, he heard of the rape and assault allegations way back in 1980. He said that several DOJ men had reportedly heard the specific rape-tape.]
Garrow:
Garrow is confident the information is accurate.
He has been writing about FBI surveillance for 40 years and said that of the tapes that he has listened to, the corresponding summaries are “about 99% accurate.” “The only errors we usually see is when the FBI is too phonetic or too literal,” Garrow said.
“But I know this is not a popularity contest. This article, as with my books — whether on the FBI, King or Roe v. Wade — I am doing what I am doing for the long run. The article will still be read and studied after people forget this week’s blog post.”
Jesse Helms’ addition to the Congressional Record is an excellent piece of information to corroborate this research. I have the entire record stored with my library. The CCC published this several times but they were destroyed by the liberals and the SPLC and many news organizations for being “racist”.
He was the king of the civil rights movement. He had absolute power. And he was corrupted absolutely. These FBI revelations reveal a hedonistic immoral power hungry schemer. A black church version of Bill Clinton. I do feel some sympathy for his wife. A female cuckold. For appearances only. Sad.
