Indigenous Marchers, Covington Catholic HS, and Black Israelites preachers = a buffet of media mess

Between this, buzzfeed and numerous other misreported situations, we really have to evolve as a society in not believing a single thing the media puts out until it is corraborrated ten fold by very different outlets. It's time. There are pockets of people that live by that rule but it has to become the norm now.

It's all about ad revenue. Shock generates reads, reads generate ad views, ad views generate revenue. Until they have financial incentive to stop being ******, they'll keep on being ******.

I really don't understand what happened to what I was always taught was critical journalistic practice: if you are going to print negative news about a person or persons, you must first reach out to him or them for comment. Beyond being the decent thing to do, it can keep you from looking like a moron.
 
I apologize for jumping to conclusions and saying the kids needed an ass whipping. I should have known to wait for the truth , and not trust the early media reporting.

I’m going to add my name to this as I should have known better than to pipe up early instead of waiting for it all to come out .
 
I'll go back and edit the original post with the new information when I can get to my computer. The lengthened video changes the narrative completely and I'm not afraid to admit that it completely negates my original thoughts.

I'll also see if I can separate and clean up the audio; I believe I did hear "build that Wall" as some others here did. That will likely have to wait until after church and lunch (lest I suffer Wrath of the Wife).
I could care less if they chanted it at this point. They had four black people yelling racist remarks to them long before the political activist showed up with his drum.

Whoa. I went thru the whole rebuttal twitter thread and watched the video. I’d encourage people to watch the other videos. There’s a bunch of video evidence supporting the kids version of events. The actual timeline is hard since it multiple videos. But there are multiple clips of the NA’s approaching the kids. And at one point the kid shown smiling in the very first video is obviously trying to get away and not smiling or even looking at him anymore.

Gonna guess more information comes out over time and we’ll get the real version. But the initial account is very much in question right now.

Can you help me find the video of the kid trying to get away?
 
My guess is there are three sides to the story. I don't fully buy an unsigned version of a story where an American kid from Kentucky uses a metric system term to describe distance.

Watched the videos. The kids were harassed with racial slurs and told to go back to Europe while a man beat a drum in their face. Honestly, I’m impressed by the students and how they conducted themselves.
