We had the ice bucket challenge a few years ago, we've got the 10 year before and after photo challenge going on now. I'd like to issue a Mission Impossible Challenge for the Tall Table.
We've all probably see and read the story of the all boys Catholic High School surrounding and taunting an old Native American man with their MAGA hats and chanting build the wall etc.... Right?
What if it was another example of Fake News? Or, at the very least, the poorest journalism imaginable?
Here's the challenge. See the long video below. It's an 1:46 long. Turn the sound up.
If the link doesn't work, Google Shar Yagataz Banyamyan facebook video.
Watch this video and take the challenge.
If you were a journalist, would you write the story the way it's been written in virtually every mainstream outlet I've seen?
Or if you were a news editor, would you run just the short clips we've all seen?
Would you describe the men exchanging words with the students as 'African-Americans preaching the Bible' as I've read?
When the Bible teaching African-Americans tell the black student, whom they repeatedly refer to as ni**er in the video, that when he gets older the white students will steal his organs and sell them, would you include that in your story?
When the old man appeared, would you say the teenagers 'swarmed and encircled' him?

Go ahead, take the Mission Impossible Challenge.
