    FoxNews is beyond shame it appears as they become more and more of a propaganda arm for the right.

    Also, not shown on CNN.

    You can go circles forever ... and that is why there has been no progress on improving relations between marginalized AA's and the police. Be honest with yourself about the narratives that lead to these issues and a resolution will come about. If you continue to pretend like you're always the victim, we'll be right back here next year.

    There's nothing American about encouraging racist attacks against people who prefer hard work and working with others over guns and excuses.



    Here's a real victim I donated to . . something none of the complainers here have the courage to do.

    None of this changes that FoxNews digitally altered photos in a way to portray the protests as a violent uprising. Why are you trying to defend that?

    Until White people admit there is systemic racism, AA can't fix their own community. Hard to fix your own when there is a white knee on your neck.

    Looks like early Christmas shoppers to me in the festive spirit.

    Sweet Lou 4 2: "And FoxNews digitally altered photos to make the protest look worse."

    Senator: "Do you deny that any black person has ever committed a crime?"

    Sweet Lou 4 2: "Uh, and that's---what did you say?---it's unethical and jacked up."

    Senator: "Are you trying to tell me the Bay of Pigs wasn't a disaster? Who was President then? Hunh? Hunh? Hunh?!"

    Sweet Lou 4 2: "What does one have to do with the other?"

    Senator: "Are you trying to change the subject?"

    So that makes it ok for Fox News to alter photos?

    There is not much difference between altering news and intentionally misleading

    Digitally altering a photo to insert an armed individual in order to portray the protestors as violent is a gross break of any sense of normal journalism.

    It's a big deal for a legitimate news organization, but not a big deal for a right-wing news source apparently.
