First up, WBBM outright lies in its coverage:
- Violent mob attacks inside the festival grounds have marred the Wisconsin State Fair in suburban Milwaukee.
WDJT-TV, CBS 58 Milwaukee reports 24 arrests were made Thursday night, after hundreds of people started fighting in and around the fairgrounds. The arrests were made within the grounds in West Allis, Wis.
Seven Wisconsin State Fair police officers were injured in the attacks, WDJT reported. One officer was hit with a weapon, while another suffered a concussion. Both were hospitalized.
WDJT reports police say the attacks were not racially motivated.
But a quick search of Wisconsin media reveals a different story:
- Witnesses tell Newsradio 620 WTMJ and TODAY'S TMJ4 of a mob of young people attacking innocent fair-goers at the end of the opening night of State Fair, with some callers claiming a racially-charged scene.
Milwaukee Police confirmed there were assaults outside the fair.
Witnesses' accounts claim everything from dozens to hundreds of young black people beating white people as they left State Fair Thursday night. - According to witnesses, a group of anywhere from 30 to 100 young black men descended on the Wisconsin State Fair last night, beating fairgoers and looting carnival games, in what witnesses said were racially-motivated attacks
And that's just two out of a dozen reports we read today. We try to be even handed here and we censor out the most blatantly racist crap that pops up in the comment sections, but the Chicago media, CBS in particular, seems determined to paint a picture of lies and distortions in everything it touches lately, and we for one are getting sick and tired of it.
So are some Milwaukee aldermen. See this link here of a press release they made.
We can barely believe WGN covered it.
