What I don't believe is Chris's claim that Fox News reporting
portrayed black looters as the bad guys and white vigilantes as the
good guys. No journalist would use "vigilantes" with a positive

I know it's not FN, but the AP was pretty embarassed when a photo of
blacks "looting" groceries was constasted with another photo
of whites "scavanging".

That would have been embarrassing to the AP. What many people do not
realize is that photo captions, headlines, and sub-heads are not
written by the reporter(s) who came up with the story or the
photographer who took the picture. Many reporters and photographers
have been embarrassed by similar gaffes done by sub-editors who scan
the article.
