Balko on Reality
As an update to the item that CJ Posted below, over at H&R Radley Balko weighs in on the Jena Reality Check article. I haven’t been following the case, other than to note that it is definitely bad to beat a guy that severely, but I think this seems relevant.
Yeah, like I said, the guy has a bias, but I thought it was at least interesting to hear another perspective. This seems like another one of those cases where you’ll never get the real story.
The Emerald printed a guest commentary about Monday’s Eujena protest and the press it received by Greg Campbell, an OC contributor. He belates who he calls people “so readily available to be martyred and portrayed as victims,” and are always looking for the “cause du jour.”
I read Talia Schmidt’s article on the Jena 6. It was not well written at all and needed some serious editing. Her lede was abysmal.
