    Parts of the media still stubbornly trying to "advance" the Covington Catholic story with tendentious accusations, days after the initial impressions proved inaccurate: are you really surprised that large portions of the country regard you as "enemies" or "fake"? Really?

        I hope anyone reading this gets just as angry on behalf of kids of color who might be similarly situated — but yes, these attempts to “advance” the narrative do seem pretty weak. I.e.https://www.gq.com/story/maga-teens-defense-native-american-veteran …

        I agree that a lot of the right-wing defense of these kids won't get applied to other demographic groups, but that's no excuse for shabby thinking and reporting as it relates to this situation.

        Discouraged how this has become an "either or" thought process. Either all kids fault or not any kids fault. I've watched videos, read comments. Puzzle has more than one piece.

        The media creates "cyber lynching" in the Court of Public opinion. Who knows..it may be manufactured from the get go. Time again I watch "media induced paranoia" and in some it looks like "media induced Schitzophrenia." It works well to keep the focus off what's really happening.pic.twitter.com/SMW8t42i5e

        What's really happening for the average U.S. Citizen who is supposed to be represented by our Government? Absolutely nothing. That's the one thing they won't cover, by design. Of course since media won't, they manufacture division. Great cover for entirely corrupted system.

        "Inaccurate" you say? Here's a damn good breakdown of the full video, in line with what I saw when watching it. The simple truth is the Covington kids had options to de-escelate the situation and they chose the bigot route instead, plain and simplehttps://twitter.com/lisasharper/status/1087174914673655809 …

        I've been watching videos all day. I have one thing to say (in a bunch of tweets, so hold on): The videos BACK UP/STRENGTHEN Mr. Nathan Phillips' account of what happened toward the conclusion of the #IndigenousPeoplesMarch on Saturday. They also reveal how it all happened. 1/

        What was innacurate? More footage and further review makes those kids look even worse than initially reported . Why cape for that kind of horrible racist energy? Outrage internet culture gets it right for once and this is the hill you want to die on?

        Did the initial impressions really prove that inaccurate? It seems like they were pretty much correct.

        Wait. Wasn’t this for a March or something? What was the focus of the March? What was turn out? Who were the supporters? But wait, the take away is that public is so easily distracted that the message of women’s rights was over shadowed by hateful men by OUR OWN DOING?

        So you still haven't watched the extended videos nor read the long threads about what those kids did from observers? The initial impressions were not inaccurate. Don't know how you can keep saying this shit.
