    The rule that applies to BREAKING RUSSIA stories is one that should also generally apply to controversies involving snippets of inflammatory video circulated on social media: wait. Do not react rashly. Resist confirmation bias, seek greater context. I will try to follow this.

        @timcast already dug up raw footage from a FB live stream the black Israelites did that shows these kids are being wildly misrepresented. I genuinely feel terrible that smug face kid's life is being ruined for him displaying stoicism.

        You're one of the few voices other than @aaronjmate and @ggreenwald ( I'm sure I'm ommitting others) that I saw able to keep their heads while many were losing theirs over the #buzzfeed thing. These professional standards are to be admired.

        When you do, you will see that the media narrative is completely false. The Native American man instigated the entire incident, rushed at the boys and beat a drum in their face. Then he lied to the media and said the boys were chanting "Build the Wall" — which didn't happen.

        I think this comment is pretty close to the mark on the video. Not the wholesale about-face I was hoping for, but it's close enough for me. Fair.

        Twice in a row now the instinct has been to defer to authority, even when the authority is (as in the first case) just Buzzfeed. That’s how ingrained the narrative is: we all just assume it’s a matter of time before the right shows its “true colors.”
