On display Sunday morning was the latest example of how the dominant media are grossly misinforming viewers on the issue of police shootings and the issue of race as veteran singer Harry Belafonte claimed that "all" of those being "murdered" are "black or African-American."
Appearing as a guest on PoliticsNation on MSNBC to plug his upcoming event promoting liberal activism, host Al Sharpton referred to current protests and asked about "the criminal justice challenge that you've outlined, in terms of black men and shootings," leading Belafonte to lament: "I think that you cannot just go about -- if it's once or twice, you can say it's an accident and a coincidence. But when you have as large a population of murdered young men in the streets of America and they're all black or African-American descent, I think there's somebody sending us a message, and we should respond to that message."
