In yet another example of why Americans increasingly feel that they cannot trust the mainstream media to provide the complete, unbiased facts on important stories, USA Today’s report on Kentucky’s Covington Catholic High School being forced to cancel classes Tuesday due to security concerns presents the ugly story in the most general of terms and fails to provide readers with crucial information that blows up early reports libelously portraying the high schoolers as cruel bigots.
On Tuesday — the first day students returned following the release Saturday of a viral video that most mainstream media outlets portrayed as showing the teens “harassing” and “mocking” an adult Native American protester after supposedly hurling racial epithets at minorities — school officials determined it was necessary to cancel school due to the flood of threats against the students, their families, and the school prompted by the early reports.
