My local newscast (Nashville, TN) said this was a result of disgruntled AFRICAN-AMERICAN youth, I kid you not.
Reminds me of Goldberg's CBS book on how the producers demanded a reporter call Jamaican looters "african american" or the story doesn't make it on the air.
"My local newscast (Nashville, TN) said this was a result of disgruntled AFRICAN-AMERICAN youth, I kid you not."
I believe you 100% cuz I saw Gretta VanSusteren do that EXACT same thing when the natalie holloway thing was just starting out. She was referring to the two fellas that were arrested first and she called them african american too...and she knew what she had done Instantly.
Really? And what were they doing in France--field trip or something? Seriously, what a moronic thing for a "reporter" to say! You must have done a double take!
Call the idiots in the newsroom and ask them how they could have hired such doltish copywriters.
