checking facts is what journalists are paid to do. first line of the job description. yet, amaysingly. almost noble in the american media did that. and that s a shame because there was a lot to check. the full video of what happened on friday in washington is well over an hour long. the four minutes that made twitter don t tell the story but, instead, distort the story. a longer look shows that the boys from covington catholic in kentucky were not a roving mob looking for a fight. they were, in fact, and it shows it on the tape standing in place waiting to be picked up by a bus. as they waited there. members of a group called the black hebrew israelites black supremacist organization began taunting them with racial epitaphs and then nathan phillips, the now famous indian activist approached them pounding on his drum. the footage seems to suggest the boys were unsure whether phillips was hostile or taking their side against the black hebrew israelites. but, in any case, there is no evid
first line of the job description. yet, amazingly, almost nobody in the american media did that. and that s a shame because there was a lot to check. the full video of what happened on friday in washington is well over an hour long. the four minutes that made twitter don t tell t the story but, instead, distort the story. a longer look shows that the boys from covington catholic in kentucky were not a roving mob looking for a fight. f they were, in fact, and it shows it on the tape standing in place waiting to be picked up by a bus. as they waited there, members of a group called the black hebrew israelites black supremacist organization began taunting them with racial epitaphs and then nathan phillips, the now famous indian activist approached them pounding on his drum. the footage seems to suggest the boys were unsure whether phillips was hostile orug taking their side against the black hebrew israelites. but, in any case, there is no evidence at all that anybody said build a wall. h
insane. now he either got that really wrong or misrepresented it intentionally. he had an entourage there taking video. if you listen to. so video. it seemed like they were possibly trying to it was stunt there. someone said we got what we need. something like that. i don t know for sure but he was very wrong. tucker: this is a story about race, we re being told. every story is about race. it s absurd. but we re told that there are racist national weather service this video. and here you have a group literally screaming racial epitaphs and anti-gay epitaphs and bigoted remarks and somehow nobody notices that but it s the high school kids who don t really say anything who are the bigots like you are lying if you reach that conclusion, aren t you? right. and everyone is saying they need to be sorry or we need to punish them. if i m trying to sort out who did the most wrong or who was most at fault in this situation, it s obviously the crazy people who were screaming viral obscene t
