Distorting the news to inflame the mob

What about social media? There are, obviously, all kinds of comments out there, but one of the most prominent came from basketball star LeBron James.

Probably the best ball player since Michael Jordan, 'King James' is also known for his prominent political positions and lucrative global endorsement deals.

LeBron James tweets about the Bryant shooting The photo and related text pose an obvious danger to the officer himself, as I'm sure some lawyers and P.R. experts must have quietly told James.

' NBC half-reported the LeBron James controversy.

For some reason, NBC couldn't bring itself to include the officer's face, even though it could have easily pixilated it and told the viewers that NBC, not James, had modified the photo.

Their sub-headline is James' response, which managed to make himself the true victim: 'I'm so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police.

Why did Twitter leave up LeBron James' post until he deleted it a couple of hours later? You'll have to guess, since Twitter hasn't said a word.
