It seems the media has varying standards of "journalistic ethics" depending upon the subject.

They will eventually condemn MLK as an “Uncle Tom”

“First they came for the Confederate heroes......”

To distract from the news about the FBI/CIA coup attempt and declassification.

He said the AJC chose to report on Garrow’s article now that it has been published. AJC editors decided that the piece should be covered as a news story in King’s hometown, distilling it for an Atlanta audience, he said.

He's been dead for 50 years now...how is this news today?

And the irony is, that when one’s ‘journalistic ethics’ vary- one has no objective ethics at all

His message of non-violence, his dignified marches where well dressed men wore sandwich boards simply saying “I am a man”, his allusions to God all enrage the BLM/Antifa crowd.

They want to initiate violence against those who disagree with them.
They want to dress like terrorists in masks and black hoodies.
They are atheist marxists.

Ergo, they want nothing to do with King.

“distilling it for an Atlanta audience”

Dumbing it down?

The AJC like most American media would go to the ends of the earth to avoid printing any negative information on King Martin, the deity we worship at the alter of political correctness.

The details about orgies and a rape witnessed by King are recounted in FBI memos that were released last year

I have no particular hate, or love, for MLK. What we have learned over the last two years though - is that the FBI, already since J. Edgar Hoover, has been given vast powers of surveillance, investigation and prosecution. They have, beyond a doubt, used and abused these powers for political purposes. Exhibit 1-A: James Comey and Andrew McCabe towards Donald Trump

They use questionable sources, deal in lies, and illegally pursue political opponents.

IN SUM - if "FBI documents" are the basis for accusing MLK, then it should be considered complete bullshit until other sources can be found to confirm.

Neither he nor his wife are here to refute this crap. To wait until now to publicize it is a gratuitous slap in the face to his family.

It is thought he was bipolar. Clearly had very depressive states and had clear manic periods.

No idea if he took any medication for it. Likely not.

I wish I’d known about this early this AM. I was at a breakfast / morning event where one of their main political reporters was present. I’d have loved to poke him on this.

The whole thing is an attack on pro-life Alveda King.

Period.

Good thing MLK wasn’t a living republican, then they’d have not only printed it but asked for more salacious details.

Now that blacks are freeing themselves from the liberal plantation it is time for the left to finish destroying any righteous legacy left in black culture. If blacks won’t submit to the Democratic Party line then it’s time to completely marginalize them.

MLK was a Christian and he compared his movement to the Exodus. Like Moses, he was leading his people to the Promised Land, ie, America is the Promised Land where equality, freedom, opportunity, justice and security from tyranny (Bill of Rights) are all gifts from God and ALL Americans have an equal right to share in those gifts.

The MLK/JFK/LBJ generation of democrats were very proud of this Judeo-Christian movement and their accomplishments.

Not so much in the current generation of democrats, They hate God. They hate Moses, they hate the Exodus, they hate the 10 commandments, they hate the bible, they hate Jesus, they hate Christians and Jews. Most of all, they hate the fact that America was founded on and our system of government, laws, freedom, equality and justice, private property and free-markets, one-man/one-woman family and our moral society are all based on Judeo-Christian foundations and principles.

The current crop of America-hating democrats will stop at nothing in their jihad to destroy all references to God or our Judeo-Christian history and all our historical heroes and that includes destroying the Declaration, the Constitution and all Judeo-Christian beliefs and principles.

Easy pickings first was to destroy and takedown all Confederate statues and memorabilia. And that includes Jefferson and other slave-holding founders, even George Washington.

Now they’ll bring down MLK and other black Christian leaders.

Even FDR. He was a Christian who often prayed on the radio for our country and our sons going into harm’s way.

It’s what Marxists do. They’ll tear down all our heroes and historical icons, burn all the books and rewrite history (air brushing out God, of course).
