I think this commentary says it well.... (emphasis mine)
The MSM seemed, from day one, anxious to portray this as a civil rights issue -- white cop shoots black kid. As much as some have vilified the "conservative media" for handling this, where was the truth?
As it turns out, Brown did IN FACT have a physical confrontation with Wilson while Wilson was still in his patrol vehicle. Brown had IN FACT just strong-arm robbed a store and bullied the clerk, and it appears that Wilson was INDEED aware of this from a report over the police radio. Wilson did NOT - as one poster insisted - "grab Brown and try to pull him into the patrol vehicle". That's just insane to even imagine.
So, in their attempt to "be part of the civil-rights story" (or for whatever other reason), the MSM set the stage for the outcome we're seeing now in Ferguson. As another editorial stated, "Wilson was not indicted, but the media was".
Darth may post here if he begins every post with "CP was right!" (kidding)
