WHAT HAPPENED IN TOLEDO? By Michelle Malkin · October 17, 2005 05:05 AM It was ugly in Toledo, Ohio, this weekend--and if you watched any of the cable news coverage or glanced at the national MSM headlines, as I did, you probably are still wondering what really went down.

Just glad to see some of the big names like Michelle Malkin getting on top of this so perhaps it will get some notice by some of the MSM. She along with many others has the screenshot incase ABC finally takes down the headline. She's also got 8 trackbacks already!
I just can't believe that 24 hours after the original thread about this, ABC has still not removed it:

White Supremacists Riot in Toledo, Ohio Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, Declares Emergency, Sets Curfew After Hundreds of White Supremacists Riot
To follow the perpetuation of the lie search both news and regular searches at Yahoo!, as well as Google News Search. Also, blog searches at Technorati (although they seem to be a little slow, perhaps because blogs need to submit their recently publish entries, use this with quotes: "White Supremacists Riot in Toledo").
I am on a mission, though not holding my breath, to force a public retraction or statement out of ABC and/or the AP.

While clicking the red ruby slippers of course BUMP!!
If the white supremacists appear on some trashy show such as Jerry Springer and someone mentions their rioting in Toledo, they can truthfully say that a lot of the rioting was by gangs, including the attack on the police, thus, these Nazis (National Socialists) score a double propaganda victory because of the inability of the MSM to tell the truth :(
1. over at DU of course it "wasn't the gangs fault"
2. at stormfront they are making two points
a. The black gangs response proves our point
b. this is more proof of media bias against us..I mean look at the AP and ABC headline
c. why does louis farrakhan and his group get to hold his rallies and society and the media accepts them yet not us
and sadly in all cases it seems they are correct which gives merit in their minds their sick cause
They couldn't have scripted a better performance themselves.
While it is obvious to anyone who has followed the story at all that the headline is a complete falsehood and 180 degrees away from what actually happened there- the fact that it hasn't been changed when they've undoubtedly been barraged with e-mails and 'phone calls, smells to me like a trap.
It would not be difficult for a major 'news' organization, who demonstrably puts an agenda above factual objectivity, to spin our response to this into 'supporting the supremacists', and feed out-of-context snippets to their pet bloggers.
You and I know that people of that ilk are quickly shown the door here at FR. Joe Public doesn't.
Maybe I am excessively suspicious of the MSM- and giove them more credit than they deserve for byzantine plots.
"Police began receiving word midweek from officers on the street that gangs were going to descend on the neighborhood, the police chief said."
To the credit of FOXNews.com they say that the gang members were the ones who were rioting. It sounds like the gangs weren't even from the neighborhoods the march occured in. People complained the these folk should not be bringing hate into their neighborhoods and just what was it that the gang members responded with?
Ironic too that this event completely overshadowed the Millions More nonsense going on in DC.
Can you imagine if the white supremacists had rioted and there was damage in a black neighborhood, or injuries to residents? You can be sure the "media" would get the facts 100% right in that case.
Maybe Jerry Springer could have the white supremacists on and the discussion of the real events in Toledo could be a neo Nazi recruiting tool. Made worse by the lies of the MSM :(
I can't believe that headline. Did anybody see "white supremacists" riot? I want photos.
She still overlooked calling out the over 200 socialists (from Canada and elsewhere) who contributed to the riot (their own myspace page has a person spraypainting the phrase "All cops are bastards").
The black youths and gang members are taking all of the blame for this. Ironically if the media had been willing to focus on the threats the gangs were giving the neighbor initially and protected his rights as a home owner, citizen, and gun owner, it may never have come to this. Black on white crime never leads the news.
The nazi protesters are horrible. The "anti-fascist" protestors (note that the groups protesting call President Bush and FReepers "fascists") are horrible too and had 10 times the number show up.
You assume that the media even wants to get the facts right. They like racial division. It was Bill Clinton's specialty.
At least the ADL had the sense to condemn the rally in DC.
They should also have spoken out against the antisemite socialists in Toledo (yep, they are proPalestinian war).

Gee, Toto, We're not in total unquestioned control anymore!.........
This painful non-sequitur P.C. statement just underscores the obvious concept that just because Adolph once said that the time was 8:30 does not mean the rest of the universe needs to invent a new way to tell time.
It must be supremely satisfying to the do-gooders to realize, and verify, with photo and videotape that 99.9% of the racist, white supremacist rioters were... ummmm... unwhite and well, did I mention the white supremacists are neo-nazis?
