Media: The Enemy of the People

Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics remarks on Twitter: Hard to imagine a more divisive, sensational, context-less headline. A textbook example of the media being the enemy of the people.

Two important details about the death of Kenneth Jones: An autopsy later showed that Jones’ urine and blood tested positive for phencyclidine, or PCP, a hallucinogen. . . .
