To the editor: A young innocent black man was murdered by the police this last week. The event was horrendous and completely unjustified.
The police personnel responsible were fired, charged and await trail on second degree murder charges. Modern day media has never displayed their viciously biased, canibalistic nature more prominently than after the death of this black man.
Every network featured constant saturating coverage of this murder. Mobs were assured that rioting would certainly be understandable. Networks, in covering themselves as we have come to expect, suggested that the riots may not necessarily be violent. I will interject here that anyone who would identify Fox News as a conservative network is a fool.
I suggest that you might seize an opportunity to actually watch some of their coverage. I must admit that I got reintroduced to some interesting characters. I thought the “Reverend Al” had disappeared. Perhaps, he had gone on to that great welfare state in the sky. In truth, any reasonable person would realize that, of all people, the “Reverend Al” could never sit out this saturating “news” coverage.
The Rev. even bumped racial protest chaser, Benjamin Crump into the background. I would have thought it impossible. To be fair, the day after the funeral, Mr. Crump was on an always available newscast representing a black woman who was accusing a bank of defrauding her. The following day, he was spokesperson for a black woman claiming police brutality. Such a busy guy. While I realize that my letter may be a tad irritating to some people, I challenge anyone to to disagree.
