GREENSBORO, NC -- By now, the extent of WGHP's fabrications and distortions about hundreds of kids fighting in downtown Greensboro is well know. Refuted by the police and video records, WGHP's story has been discredited. The world-wide damage caused by their dishonesty is apparent.
Yet, even today, WGHP continues to promote their false version of events. It's bad enough they've made no corrections, but by continuing to push their original false story, it is becoming inescapable that the people responsible—reporters Lindsey Eaton and Brandon Jones, anchors Brad Jones and Cindy Farmer, news director Karen Koutsky and the anonymous staff who are keeping the lies alive—harbor some ill intent towards the young black kids of Greensboro besmeared by their fictions.
The Center Pointe Videos the city released have narration from the person shooting them.

Roch did our pathetic joke of a mayor have any meaningful response to your eloquent and insightful comment aside from smirking and checking his cell phone for texts?
ReplyDeleteYou kicked ass at that meeting. I am proud of you.
Our media is a joke. Fox 8, News 2 (maybe the worst news organization ever, if you can even call them that) the News & Record...every one of these so-called reporters are stealing their paychecks.
I sure didn't always agree with the Rhino Times but at least John Hammer attended every one of these city council meetings and held accountable sneering, self-satisfied creeps like Robbie Perkins.
YES! Weekly is all we have left to cover local stories and hold our city "leaders" feet to the fire. And they do a damn good job.
So do you and I thank you.
John, thank you. The Mayor had no response.
