what is our responsibility as reporters? making sure boothth sides of the story are fairly presented. i think it drove a narrative that created part of the furor in ferguson that people who live there paid for dearly. there are also people who commented who were from ferguson who said they were driven from their homes and who watched the media only sbrir or tell part of the story. so i'm not as interested in apologies as i am in lessons learned. what can we do going forward if something like this happens again. >> richard fowler, is it fair to say that many in the mediaed a vert tently pursued a false narrative? >> there are two sides to the story and one side was missing. and the reason has everything to do with the fact they didn't speak up. the police were pretty much mum when it came to talking about what really took place that night. >> does that let journalists off the hook? >> not at all.
