After the Covington stuff, isn't it a good thing they are taking more time to figure out the context around short inflammatory videos?

- tathougies 6y agoNo. Unless they want to be sued, like with the Covington kid...
- quacked 6y agoI didn't mention it in the original comment because I didn't want the heat, but the Covington event was actually the exact event I was thinking of. By the time I saw the fully unedited raw videos of the guy and the kid, I'd already seen dozens of memes and many official news articles/videos comparing the "Covington Kid" to anti-protestors during the Civil Rights movement. The full, unedited videos show the truth; it was a complete non-event. Totally changed my perspective on the kid and the protestor; they went from symbols of a struggle for rights to two people who happened to run into each other in Washington, D.C.
