Media Bias

I know that we talked briefly about how the media has become a powerful tool to paint a picture of a person or event and depending on the news source, the picture pained can be beautiful or very ugly. I came across this video shot not too long about in which a CBS television station paints a four year old black boy (yes only four years old) as a budding criminal. Due to the editing techniques used, the boy was painted in an unjust light and once the entire footage was found, the station apologized about the clip.

Excuse the quality, it was the best one that I could find.
