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 …

This doesn't matter. They're minors! They weren't doing anything illegal and were being messed with by adults.

Alinksy: "Keep the pressure on. Never let up." Keep trying new things.... As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from with something new. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.“ Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster...

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?

He seemed nervous about pissing off his right wing fan base the first time he posted. Not surprised at all to see him reaching again for their loving embrace.

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.

Careful Michael, if you dive too deep into this you might find out that the media has been playing this game for decades.
