Wholly Toledo, the Bogus Story about the Toledo Riots Is Still There!
Six months later, the bogus and totally discredited headline about Toledo’s mid-October 2005 riot is still there at ABC:
Why?
The original BizzyBlog post on the headline from mid-October is here. I originally learned about it at this post by Michelle Malkin.
If you go to the story, it is oh-so-careful not to identify who actually did the rioting that it takes a reader six paragraphs to even begin to get a grip on who is at fault, and seven paragraphs to learn that the Neo-Nazi march that was planned was “cancelled because of the rioting.” In other words, the white supremacists not only didn’t riot, they didn’t even CAUSE it!
For the record: Gangs largely if not entirely consisting of African-Americans DID riot, no matter how long ABC keeps its history rewrite posted. The fact that it remains indicates that ABC has no interest in correcting the historical record, and the Associated Press, the original source of the story, has no interest in monitoring how its clients use their work.
