There’s something ironic about journalists criticising children with an enormous megaphone and yet maintaining that they are on the side of the powerless.
Consider a recent Washington Post column by Jonathan Capehart, entitled “Time to take on the Covington ‘smirk’”. He reassured readers that their first impressions about the Covington affair were right all along – this, despite the ample video evidence that the students from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky were not responsible for sparking off the now-infamous confrontation with the Native American activist Nathan Phillips, which also involved members of the Black Hebrew Israelites, during the March for Life in Washington, DC.
