Jena 6

In the media rush that is Jena 6, KDKA's finest, Kevin Miller, has decided to bring "truth" to Pittsburgh. Check out this link:

Earlier this week, in his search for the source of all of the commotion in Jena, Miller interviews an assistant editor from the Jena Times. While this editor may certainly know more about the incident than the rest of us, he makes several unsettling assertions:

1 "there is no racial unrest in Jena"
2 the nooses were hung as a joke on the school's rodeo team, not as a racial statement
3 the students who hung the nooses had "no idea" about the history of lynchings in Jena
4 these students did not think that the nooses would be taken as offensive by the blacks in Jena
5 when the students found out that many people took offense to the noses, they were "shocked"

Come on, really?
