I get the sense there’s some confusion about our diverging opinions on the implications of sensational (cough) headlines save the essence of the subject matter which is not in question.
Recall the impact of the Zimmerman headlines.
great article. i read the book the sowell is talking about: White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America and how the media ignore it.
Loved it.
All i can say is that it was Sowell-esque.

In effect the Zimmerman thing ‘blew up in their faces’ although ‘they’ will get their pound of flesh.
The name George Zimmerman certainly suggests ‘whiter than white bread’ and you can bet that if anyone would have really checked it out, it would never have taken on the impact it did.
It was such a bad move they had to emphasize the youthful looking Martin and trying to lighten up the pictures of Zimmerman - remember it wasn’t until the court proceedings that the ‘world’ got a look at GZ, certainly not the ‘white guy’ they thought they had run down the road to ruination.

Exactly. I know that they believe they understood what they think we said, but I’m not sure they realize that what they understood is not what we meant. :-)
