Another Al Sharpton and LA Times Moment?

Ok seriously, why do we give people like Al Sharpton this much influence? Many people have heard about what happened in CA... if you havent, its about a black girl who was "discripmenated" against because she wont pick up a piece of birthday cake and was hurt by a white guard. That sounds arkward but most media outlets have not said anything more than that. But what really pisses me off is that LA Times and Al make her look like SHES the vitcim. She flat out lied about her wrist being broken by the guard. The Dr. said there was NOTHING WRONG WITH HER WRIST BUT GAVE HER A SLING BECAUSE SHE SIAD IT HURT AND YET LA TIMES STILL GIVE HER A FULL FRONT PAGE ABOUT HER BEING THE VITCIUM! They never said anythign about her spitting at the guard or anything. Why would a mother and a daughter BOTH be arrested? Because they want to get them? Its not conidence that they both got introuble. God LA times and Al make me sick.
