Firestorm Over Attack on Yale Singers

From ABC7News

A recent picture of The Baker’s Dozen, the Yale singing group that was attacked on New Year’s Eve by a large group of San Francisco youths—several of whom attend a prominent local Catholic school.

I e-mailed the reporters a complaint about the tone of their story, which seems to make light of the violence and the importance of possible police and city hall corruption or bias. I encourage others to do the same; we have to keep the press on their toes.

With this much “PR & spin” (code words for lies, cover up and deception) the “truth” will NEVER see the light of day.
