Recently, various media figures have learned that the media is NOT trusted by a large chunk of American citizens.
You don't have to go far to understand why. In an article dealing with a protest over book-selection in high school, we find this:
...After the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, U.S. authorities forcibly removed nearly all of the 120,000 Japanese people in the country from their homes and incarcerated them in remote areas under harsh conditions for most of the war. Two-thirds were U.S. citizens.
A congressional commission that studied the incarceration concluded it had been based on racism, pointing out that no mass detention was ordered against German and Italian Americans....
The President--Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat--ordered that incarceration. Further, there were detentions of Italian-Americans in the Philadelphia area, although not as large nor as widespread.
Erasing the name of the racist-in-charge of that detention in an article pointed towards "historical accuracy" is ironic, to say the least.
Lesson learned: you can trust the media, mostly to lie and cheat in favor of "progressives."
Earlier, we commented on the very silly adoption of the book in question as part of an AP English class. History, yes. English? C'mon, man.
By the way, the selection process for the book was blatantly racist, too. One of the criteria reportedly was that the selection(s) NOT be written by a Caucasian author. That's racism.
Really?? This is "education"?
