We've all read stories regarding crimes or even politics where, as you read you keep wondering about more details which never appear. These things all seem to lean in one direction with their omission of facts. Those facts don't help the narrative, so they leave them out.
How many times do you read a story about some D.C. politician in some kind of trouble and the story begins with, 'GOP Rep. Joe Schmoe today was accused of.......'
Then you read one that begins with, 'The senior Senator from Michigan has been accused of .........'
What's different?
Same with a crime story. We've all seen the stories of crimes where when we read we are given no description of the suspect. Why?
With that in mind, check out this story and ask yourself who is being protected here with certain very pertinent facts omitted?
Quote:Call it “omission journalism.”
On June 14th, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran this headline: "More than 1 million sign petition to designate KKK as terrorist group."
It then goes into a history of the clan which was pretty accurate. But one thing was missing. Any guesses?
Quote:But there is something very curious about this article. Nowhere — literally nowhere — is the history of the relationship between the Klan and the Democratic Party mentioned. So let’s do a quick historical refresh:
Notice the mention of the Klan’s beginning above? There is no reference to the quite central historic fact that, according to Columbia University historian Eric Foner, the Klan was used from the get-go as “a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.” Or, in the words of University of North Carolina historian Allen Trelease, the Klan was used as the “terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.”

Shame on you, AJC. You really think that people are that stupid? Apparently, yes. The AJC may be correct, as many people in this country have no clue as to the ACTUAL history of the Democrat party. That ignorance is partly because of stuff like the above, omission journalism which is everywhere these days and has been for years.
