Amen. It is Spin by the MSM. They thought they had a war chariot to ride to "prove" their world view.
When it turned out to be a freight train over the cliff of reason instead, they are in damage control.
'zackly. The MSM shoveled the coal to keep this nightmare train rolling. Now they want to disown it.
I think that it is unfair to call all these Black people racists (though they may be on some level)because they were so ready to believe that the Duke lacrosse boys were guilty. It's an over simplification. These people are poorly educated, perpetual victims that are easily led by the media and community leaders to support the anti-white agenda of the liberal, post modern Democrats. They're really not much different than the rent-a-mob who attacked the British embassy in Iran.
