In the early 80's the CNN cable network got it's fame for reporting "news as
it happens." Unfortunately this reporting being done is all
hypothesis, conjecture, and poorly researched and possibly false story
telling.
During the period of the Beltway Shootings, there were no witnesses or evidenc
e left, but they were already rpofiled as white extremists drving around in a
work van. It turned out to be a black man and younger black male (step son?)
thta fired shots through the keyhole in back of a trunk lid of a car. The
Atlanta Olympic Bombing was blamed on the security guard who found the bomb an
d hovered over the bomb to protect others from shrapnel. When it became
known he had been rejected for a police job, they all assumed he cooked up
the bombing in order to become the hero of the day. look how the news tried
to destroy Kyle Rittenhouse?
