Well, the thing is that media spin works both ways. In this specific instance the footage we all see on TV doesn't show King lunging at the police before the beating started. They just showed the portion of the tape where the police went too far.

Today in the States you'll find people who complain that we're not hearing enough about how "the war" isn't allways fair to the people of Afghanistan. There are also people who think we hear too much about every goat that's accidently bombed. I've ran into white supremacists who think that The Media is an instrument of Jewish propoganda, I've also met Zionists who beleive that the media is antisemetic.

Who's right?
