jAZ said:Whether or not you view such a MSM as a "liberal" MSM is a fair critique. If you didn't say it, I shouldn't attribute it to you regardless of whether or not you believe it. For that I both apologize and retract that assertion. My mistake.
Other than this point, you don't have a leg to stand on here.
CNN wrote an article in which it prominantly told the story of LF's racist past with damning quotes directly.
A MSM who's goal is to "(hold) up (LF) as some kind of vituous example for African Americans" would not include such quotes, nor would they even write such an article to begin with.
I'd also LOVE to see a few MSM news articles (not a columnist or op-ed)where the author himself asserted as fact that David Duke was a racist. If anything, you will likely only be able to provide a nearly identical article where the author quotes (or at most pulls the unspecified "some people say is".
But maybe you can prove me wrong.
Do a quick search of CNN.com. That's how I found all these LF articles. It should take you 10 minutes or less to find what you are looking for there as well. They go back many years and everying is free. This way we are comparing apples to apples.
I'll be interested to see YOU support with any evidence YOUR assertions as I have done with mine.
Are you paying attention? You have run off on a tangent attempting to defend something anyone with the IQ of gnat knows is not true. You told someone else to remain focussed .... try it yourself.
My point is that discriminating -- in this for instance racial -- organizations in this Nation are not treated equally by society and the MSM. If the MSM did not provide people with viewpoints, then they would have few opinions since most would be unaware of anything outside of their yard.
The articles you posted relate Farrakham's trip and the government's opinion of his behavior. In each case you bolded, it was not CNN that branded Farrakham anything. When he holds a Million Man March, his speech is shown in its entirety by the MSM, and he's got a million followers on the National Mall.
When was the last time you saw a Klan rally on the tube except on the history channel where all Klansmen are portrayed as drooling, evil henchmen of some Grand Whoever looking for their next black victim?
You have repeatedly ignored my actual point in favor of attacking a general statement with literalism, and some weak links at best.
