Everyone agrees that the Commercial Appeal headline is accurate. But Black Lives Matter activists forced the paper to issue an apology for the truth. It is worth knowing that Memphis, Tennessee, where the paper is located, is 63% black. The paper is part of the USA Today group, which is well known for its “progressive” viewpoint. From foxnews.com:
“Gunman targeted whites,” read the lead story headline in the Commercial Appeal, a member of the USA Today network. The headline was accurate, as Dallas gunman Micah Xavier Johnson explicitly talked about wanted to kill white police officers before he was eliminated via robot bomb.
That didn’t stop protestors from gathering outside the paper’s office in downtown Memphis on Wednesday to express their displeasure, some holding signs that read “Black Lives Matter.”
Even though the paper is in a majority black city, it is shocking that it apologised for putting the truth in a headline. It is as if the truth does not matter to the Black Lives Matter group, which has banned white people from its meetings. Many BLM matter protests have featured chants calling for the death of police. BLM has actively rejected the idea that “All Lives Matter”.
Black Lives Matter activists seem to be taking on the role of the street thugs of the “Progressive” movement in the United States.
