Fox News host Martha MacCallum hyped fears that the New Black Panther Party is pushing racial violence following an FBI report that one member of the group was on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri following the tragic shooting death of an unarmed black teenager.
On the August 13 edition of The Kelly File, Fox News correspondent Mike Tobin explained that while "demonstrations remain[ed] peaceful" throughout the day, New Black Panther Party members were seen in Ferguson. Ignoring the reports of peaceful protests, MacCallum highlighted a tweet and Facebook posts from one New Black Panther Party member in particular who she claimed "is very vociferously advocating violence against the police."
really??? why is Fox the only place we are hearing this, other media would have jumped on this like a lion on a pork chop but vas far as Panthers I only heard crickets. the fact that "MEMBERS" were spotted in Ferguson, if that were true that chief of police would have been at the mike and cameras 24/7 that would in their minds allowed the use on military grade gear acceptable at least to their supporters but again crickets. wonder what year that Fox story was made?
Fox News has a long history of using the specter of the New Black Panther Party -- which is a small racist fringe group -- to stoke fears of racial violence and voter intimidation.
In 2010, Fox spent more than 8 hours of coverage hyping phony allegations that the Department of Justice had political motivations for refusing to pursue criminal charges in response to claims that the New Black Panthers Party intimidated voters in the 2008 election. During the 2012 elections, Fox again hyped fears of the New Black Panther Party intimidating voters at a polling station in Philadelphia, only to show live video of a New Black Panther Party member opening the polling station doors and politely greeting voters. In 2013, Fox promoted the conspiracy theory that the New Black Panther Party was "the spark behind" the Justice Department investigation into the murder of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin.
MacCallum failed to report that civil rights leaders, President Obama, and the family of Michael Brown denounced the violence and called for peaceful protests. NAACP President Cornell William Brooks castigated the violence and President Obama called for the community of Ferguson to "comfort each other and talk with one another in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds."
I take umbrage to them calling the Panthers a racist group and in the same breath say they are no threat because they are a "small fringe group". they are tossing decades old tainted red meat in the trough and their feeders will swill and delight in it's consumption. I will look for other credible media reporting this. as far as what she neglected to report that was not neglect it was intentionally left out so as to bring all attention to those three words "BLACK PANTHER PARTY".
RACIST: noun
1.
a person who believes in racism, the doctrine that a certain human race is superior to any or all others.
that sounds like those telling this fairy tale not Black Panthers who only fight against racism. we all have heard and seen the world of "WHITE SUPREMACY", have any of you ever heard the words " BLACK SUPREMACY", we don't even use that inference you can only deny truth for a few moments then your sub conscious will pull your coat and make you aware of the real 411.
