About the James Lane shooting:

Fox & Friends, Daily Caller Falsely Report ‘3 Black Teens’ Arrested in Chris Lane Murder

On Wednesday morning, Fox and Friends aired a segment in which they ostentatiously wondered why Revs. Sharpton and Jackson “haven’t come forward and said anything,” and even though they displayed a photo of the three suspects, which clearly showed that one of them is a white male, they quoted an Allen West tweet that said “Three black teens shoot white jogger.”

The Daily Caller actually improved on F&F. Initially, they ran a photo of the wrong Michael Jones, and issued this “correction”:

This, of course, changes everything. Edwards and Luna are being charged with first-degree murder, whereas Jones is charged with “using a vehicle to facilitate the discharge of a weapon and accessory after the fact of murder in the first degree.”

There’s your angle, Rev. Al. The one with the lightest skin got the lightest charge. The one who looks the least like Obama will get the least punishment. Let the racebaiting begin.

Except one of the three “black teenagers” was white, and is obviously so in the mugshot triptych shown on Fox. Daily Caller, however, has a photo of three black males. Somebody took the time to assemble a photo collage with a counterfeit “Chauncey Jones”…though not too long, because the photo is of a black male with bandanna photoshopped over his mouth and nose. I mean, I’m not a digital image guy at all, but the turquoise bandanna—which I guess is supposed to look like a bandit mask, comboy-movie style—clearly doesn’t follow the contours of the guys face and cheekbones. Like obvious, not-even-trying counterfeit.

Because they’re not really pissed about a senseless killing, they’re salivating at the chance to blame this on black people.
