Keeping politics out of it, it was simply a story of the actions of 3 different groups of people that they got wrong because they (the media) apparently believed the Facebook posting instead of checking the story out for themselves before reporting. Talk about being irresponsible!

NEVER IGNORED THAT, but called to your attention that was not the subject of the thread and expressed my chagrin that would be used as a reason to doubt the media.
I supplied a link where the NYTIMES sorted it out and criticized those who were in error.
AGAIN, if we can since you and others have attacked the media for years now.....if we can except the Covington story, allow us the facts to support your claim of media lying, etc. Of course if that event is what you use to substantiate the "enemy of the people" or any other such unsubstantiated claim, why was that claim anti media made a year or so PRIOR to the event ?
Thanks
