I loved how he started off his article with a comic. The comic shows how the media portrayed the riots. I know news media only play certain news stories that will get them better ratings for their show. Of course it has to be about a underclass culture and how blacks are being portrayed as a violent group and how they create riots. But really 60% arrest for riot related violations were Latinos, not blacks like the media all over the world was claiming. News reporters claimed the people were nothing but "savages" gangbangers and thugs in the street making all these troubles. They never once tried to get the real story out to the public and insisted on showing lies and misleading information on how the African community were the bad guys, which in reality wasn't true. They never mentioned how this was all created because of racism in our society. Racial inequalities were a big thing back then and still is today and to see how the news reporters deceived the riot stories for their personal gain for ratings and what not is disgusting and shows you, you can't always believe what you see or read from news companies.

One news media that is getting a lot of attention right now is the killing on the Virginia Teach campus. Two bodies were found dead, one a police officer and a young male. They have not found the shooter and they have no reliable leads yet. The leads they did receive from the public got them now where and are still gathering their information to find the shooter. I believe this type of story is newsworthy because a police officer was involved and it was on a school campus and Virginia Tech is known for this type of shooting because something like this happened on campus a couple of years ago and this hits home and is pretty scary the whole public should know.
