What follows is an object lesson in why year-end best, worst and other lists shouldn't be published until the year actually ends.

A Kwanzaa "parade" was held in Los Angeles yesterday. In reporting on the event, CBS Los Angeles published a work of fiction which absolutely belongs on any 2014 list of most embarrassing moments in journalism (HT Twitchy; bolds are mine):

Anarchists remind you to put the A in KwanzaA!

I gave up on television (and its advertising/message pumping) 6 year ago (February 2008, when they fell all over themselves with Obamadoration).

I’ve seen a little bit of it here and there over the years (like the local news after a football game). Zero news content. 10 minutes on a traffic jam with 3 minutes on people sharing their food by the roadside and 5 minutes on a dog that wandered off. No report as to what CAUSED the traffic jam.

Just an aside:
If it weren't for the internet you'd still think there really was a parade unless you were there, even as a conservative with no confidence in CBS about matters of opinion.

I’ve been teaching public school elementary music for 20 years and never once had a black kid ask me about Kwanzza. The only two who did were white. I did have one staff person ask me if I ever did music about Kwanzza. I said I would answer her question if she promised to read a file I kept on the true origins of the “holiday”. She took the file. She never asked me about it again.

The only people that “celebrate” Kwanzaaaaaaa are single young white female elementary teachers and fake politicians.
How funny for the blacks who know its a fraud and they sit back and laugh at the white circus animals that jump thru hoops they created. Gullable idiots softened for the feast

I do not know of any people, including blacks, who celebrate fantasy holiday Kwanzaa.

It seems to be only for public-eye blacks.

Nice to see this much-reported demo consisted of about 50 thugs instead of 5000.
