can anyone believe ABC has still not fixed this, despite AP fixing it a while ago? Also, how could this have even come out? I mean, I am used to the liberal spin, etc. But WTF? How can they flat out lie and send the story out? What is going on? Everyone always screams about freedom of the press, what about freedom from the press? If we can't get the truth, what do we base our decisions and opinions on? Maybe like Rather, ABC will say... "well, despite what we all saw and what the video shows.. we still believe it to be true"

Anyway, like I said.. ABC has made no correction here:

Then here's a search of "Toledo" from their homepage.. still same headline there too.

Welll, it WAS, after all, "the black people" (almost exclusively) who were looting and rioting. Not like anyone made them do it.

Yeah, me, too. I saved screen shots to actual size of all the headline/features/all the sites running this story, including the google and yahoo news listings.

Dave Chappelle is a black comedian who had a pretty good show for a while on Comedy Central. The blind black white supremecist character was a natural to bring into this thread. Funny stuff.

If this riot had happened during the O' Reilly show the MSM might actually have gotten away with this kind of lie.

Yet the headline ways the WSs were rioting!

Oh, no; you misunderstand!

You must carefully parse the compressed English we used in the headline; we meant it to mean "it was a riot by peaceful homies, outraged by the existence of white supremacists".

In other words, it was a riot about, not by, white supremacists. We are very sorry for any possible confussion, though we are mystified that anyone could honestly misconstrue the meaning so badly.

Are you sure you do not have a suspoect, perhaps racist agenda?

P.S. I note that you were not upset that my name was typoed in the byline to JOHN SEEWER

thing is, even if anyone were to let them off the hook with such a bs excuse... ABC would still have to answer for it's subheading that appears under the main headline:
"Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, Declares Emergency, Sets Curfew After Hundreds of White Supremacists Riot"
No misunderstanding that... FLAT OUT LIE.

Phew! I only looked at the posting, but now have pulled up the article. You're 100% correct; no way to spin that lie into anything other than an outright lie.

As much as I can't stand the NAZIs...though I used to get a lot of laughs out of footage of George Lincoln Rockwell, way back when...I hope they hire a good lawyer. (I understand Buddy and Annie Spell are looking for some more publicity oportunities free to take new clients.)

Watching NAZIs sue the media for defamation would provide almost as much entertainment as watching a battle between Chicoms & Jihadis.

hopefully ACLU lawyers aren't too busy setting up babysitting plans with their buddies at NAMBLA to help out....

Must be a lot like the looting and rapes and murders that never really happened in NOLA.

There are whites in among the counter-protestors.

OK. Nice pic of some peaceful counter-protestors standing by a sign.

Do you have any pics of whites rioting, looting, destroying property, breaking into buildings?

Kind of like "donnybrook" (a word I haven't heard since Curt Gowdy died).

Maybe the MSM should revive it. "White Supremacists to Blame for Donnybrook" might be politically acceptable.

I can hardly wait for the Black Supremacists to join their racist brethen as a gesture of solidarity.

Reminds me of the blind, black KKK leader skit from Chapelle's Show. That was one of the funniest skits on that show. Can anyone download a picture?

neo-nazis were proven right because the police stopped their demonstration and the black gangs(caught on tape)were showing this to be so by creating an air of hatred,vandalism,theft and voilence.

Either that or those White Supremacist gangs with the deep sun-tans that I watched on Fox breaking into and looting neighborhood bidnesses proved that white men with deep sun-tans CAN jump.

The looters were having a high old time, looting and jumping and running around with their spoils.
