How unbiased is the media?

Paris, Texas, has been splattered all over the state and national news lately because a little group of racist blacks get upset when black criminals are arrested, tried, and sentenced. They also get upset when white criminals aren't immediately lynched when they are arrested. There are about half a dozen of these people in Paris, and a few outside agitators that they bring in for their rallies.

What irritates me is all the coverage they get. Why would the media cover the New Black Panther party? Have you ever read their agenda? It includes, among other things, all blacks being exempt from taxes, all blacks being given billions of dollars in assets, all blacks being given free health care, all blacks being exempt from military service (they are now, guess they don't know we don't have a draft), and all blacks being released from all jails and prisons. That's just a few of their inane points.

Anyway, at their latest rally, The Paris News decided to cover the coverers -- they did an article on all the news media that were there. I found what J. D. Myles, a reporter with Channel 11, said to be very revealing of the media mindset. He said that he was a little disappointed in the crowd mumbers at the noon rally. "I covered the incident in Jasper and there was certainly more intensity in that situation."

Disinterested reporter covering what he saw, or a yellow journalist itching for a big brawl to splash on the evening news?

I agree with you completely...the media is constantly looking for racial conflict and if it isn't there...they'll just make it up! It's a shame that a few radical blacks put a blemish on the whole race and our town.
