29. Politically correct?

Wed Dec 21, 2016, 03:37 PM

Dec 2016

The article describes it as an "alleged tirade with racial undertones". I know media outlets have to describe certain acts as "alleged" until they are on the record as true (owing to innocent until proven guilty principles as well as liability concerns - which I understand and agree with). But - THERE'S A VIDEO OF THE FUCKING THING!! I'm sure they'd be safe in calling it a tirade rather than an alleged tirade.

Is the news site being too politically correct? Hmmm.
