Remember the coverage, by the "main scream media," of the Duke LaCrosse players horrible behavior... remember the racial tensions... and the "reverse racial profiling" which ensued? Remember how lives were affected? How the "rapists" were condemned by the court of public opinion?
And do you remember how the whole matter ended up being a farce, with the District Attorney eventually getting blamed (rightfully so), but how the main-scream press never looked back? After all, newspapers were sold... advertising was sold... and profits were made.
Well, here we go again... Surely by now we have all heard about the Jena 6. Well, interestingly, a reporter (local to Jena) wrote an Opinion piece in the Christian Science Monitor. The "Jena 6" seems to be a repeat of the Duke LaCrosse "rape."
You can read the truth of the Jena 6 in the Christian Science Monitor; and a more detailed analysis by the Jena Times.
We can be thankful, I suppose, that the children involved this time are minors... so that their images will not become fodder for the "tabloid-like" main-scream media.
Maybe it is time for "malpractice" lawsuits to be initiated against CNN, Faux News, MSNBC, and the print press... Maybe if these mega-corporations had to endure the cost of malpractice insurance the way the medical community has had to... maybe then we could get the truth of stories instead of the hype!
