Early
Michael Brown Coverage Absolutely Shameful, Irresponsible

I have to admit, I don’t know what happened in
Ferguson, Missouri, between Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson. Then again, neither did any of the columnists
who helped fan the flames of racial tensions immediately after Brown’s death.
Much of the early media spin – not to mention that
of professional race hustlers like Al Sharpton - that helped spark daily unrest
was that Brown was innocently walking down the street, minding his own business,
going to Grandma’s house - just like Little Red Riding Hood - when the Big Bad
Cop Wolf shot him dead for no reason other than he was black.
