Evaluating the Press' Contribution to the Jena 6 3
A rather scathing write up on the whole Jena 6 fiasco. I’ve honestly reached the point that I feel I can no longer pay attention to these stories until the hubub has died down (well, at least for the 24-hour news channels to stop covering it). Sure enough, the bits that were shoved in to my ears appear to have little relation with reality. Has the Fourth Estate completely fallen apart or what (and for those of you who have been living in the US longer than me… is their an American equivalent to the fifth estate that one can turn to for quality reporting?).
