WORSE THAN "FAKE"

I don't know that it can be argued that our nation's media have worked to inflame racial tensions in recent years. It feels like the only legitimate debate is just how often they do it and how much their influence has affected race relations. 

Here's a despicable example from CNN's website just yesterday where they ran this headline:

"An entire North Carolina police department resigned after a Black woman town manager was hired"

Sounds like the police walked out upon hearing the city had hired a black woman, doesn't it?

In reality, they worked under this new town manager for two months before they resigned en masse: 6 police officers and 2 town clerks.

CNN provides several paragraphs explaining how little is publicly known about what happened during those two months and several paragraphs of townspeople speculating that maybe there was a racial dimension to the resignations ... but nobody knows.

And finally - all the way down in paragraph 17 - you get this relevant fact:

"Others in the community say they believe there is not a racial component to the situation due to the fact the previous town manager was a Black man. Some residents also cautioned against jumping to conclusions, saying they've always had a good relationship with the police department."

This is despicable journalistic malpractice.
