"They just updated it to: "Anti-White Supremacist Protesters Riot""

I take screenshots just for future proof, I got one of the original.

Cheers

On the page you linked to there is a link to this page, with what is seemingly the opposite headline, and the same story. WT?

White Supremacists Riot in Toledo, Ohio
Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, Declares Emergency, Sets Curfew After Hundreds of White Supremacists Riot
By JOHN SEEWER Associated Press Writer
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1220242 
Dear Sirs:
The biased spin is never more apparent than when ABC actually changes the headline and the by-line on a story to make it say exactly the OPPOSITE of what really happened when the facts and circumstances fail to align with your world view.   To be fair,  I suppose it might be possible that the Associated Press and Mr. John Seewer may have actually edited their story after your ABC online version was posted, but if this is the case, then you owe your readers a corrected version and the grossly inaccurate version linked above should be retracted and a published correction put out there.
 
When I search other internet news sites and then go directly to the AP website,  I find only stories which tell the reverse of what your misleading ABC headline reports.   Two examples:
Oct 16, 9:31 AM EDT
Anti-White Supremacist Protesters Riot


TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Protesters at a white supremacists' march threw rocks at police, vandalized vehicles and stores and cursed the mayor for allowing the event.http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/N/NAZI_MARCH?SITE=OHDEF&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&SECTION=HOME
 
Anti-White Supremacist Protesters Riot


TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Protesters at a white supremacists' march
I am also watching the reports of this event on television right now and the video from Toledo shows a VERY different story then your ABC headlines would imply.  While there may have been a bit of 'violence' from both ends (marchers and protesters), the RIOTING was very clearly the work of people protesting the marchers...  Facts are:  "White Supremacists"   did NOT "Riot in Toledo, Ohio"  and your headline in your ABC online story is not even simply a different perspective on the story.  Your headline is a lie and an attempt to tell the story as you wish it had happened.   This is unforgiveable for any serious news organization.
 
This type of reporting is VERY disturbing and upsetting.  There is no excuse for this behavior and with the by-line in addition to the headline, it is obvious that this is NOT a simple typographical error where the word "anti" was inadvertently left out.
 
Do the right thing here and correct your story.  Do it publicly and do it loudly.  You have sinned against journalism.
 
Best regards,
xxxxxx

Somebody woke up and figured out they couldn't get away with the original headline.

I have a nice screen shot of the original ABC page, with the "White Supremecists Riot" headline, and the "Curfew after hundreds of white supremecists riot" sub-head, as I figured it would get changed.

"He also blamed gang members for the violence, saying it turned into "exactly what they wanted," referring to the Nazi group."

He's exactly right

"Will the ACLU come out to defend the rights of the white supremacists to voice their opinion?"

They actually did once in Skokie Illinois, but that was a very long time ago.

This wasn't the only politically loaded distortion on the ABC site this morning. See "U.S. Military Deaths in War with Iraq", implying that the enemy is Iraq in general. By extension, this endorses the head-choppers' claim that they alone represent legitimate authority in Iraq. Old lefty trick.

Reminds me of a clueless parent watching their 2yr old pitching a ring-tailed fit, tearing up the living room and saying...

"Oh look how well he expresses himself. We really shouldn't have left those breakables out where they got in his way."

They were mostly "gang members who had real or imagined grievances and took it as an opportunity to speak in their own way," Ford said. "I was chagrined that there were obvious mothers and children in the crowd with them," he said.

The mothers were talking to their children as they were looting and burning the neighborhood bar, they were saying "grab me a bottle of gin".

Amazing, I thought it had been changed, from some of the other posts. I guess that must just be the AP/Yahoo headline, that had been changed.

ABC is stuck on stupid, but we already knew that.

Has there been a more BLATANTLY dishonest headline from a major MSM outlet? This is truly mind-boggling, and I'm glad we all have seen it and c/p it before they take it down.

Perception is reality.

Sorry,but white supremacists DID NOT RIOT!They were invited in by people who were being victimized by black gangs and the 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.
