To all the media . . . .

Let's see if you can get these facts straight. The Brandon McClelland death in Paris is in no way "similar to the James Byrd killing." Quit calling the McClelland case a "dragging death."

1) James Byrd was chained to a truck -- Brandon McClelland was not.
2) James Byrd was probably killed because he was black -- Brandon McClelland was not.
3) I don't think James Byrd even knew his attackers -- Brandon McClelland did.
4) James Byrd was purposely dragged for miles -- Brandon McClelland was accidentally dragged a few yards.
5) James Byrd was intentionally tortured and killed -- evidence indicates Brandon McClelland may have been accidentally killed.

Why does the media deliberately distort the facts? Well, they won't sell as many newspapers and have such sensational tv news "ticklers" if they report the truth -- that Brandon McClelland was out drunk in the middle of the night with his low class thuggy cohorts who he had been running with and getting into trouble with since high school, and they got into an argument and he ended up dead.

If they'd all been white, nobody would be saying a word. And if they'd all been black, nobody would be saying a word. And if Brandon had been white and the other two black, nobody would be saying a word.

This is a case I happen to know about -- it makes me wonder about the reporting on all those cases I don't know about. How skewed are the media on those? Moral: take everything you hear with a great big old grain of salt!
