Despite a $100,000 bounty, no evidence has yet been presented that the Tea Party demonstrators in Washington D.C. used the "N" word as they were accused of doing. Much of the MFM has quietly slunk away from the smear. Not McClatchy and it's "ostrich editor" James Asher.
McClatchy News was responsible for the single worst story reporting the allegations of Reps. Andre Carson, John Lewis. Emanuel Cleaver and James Clyburn that Tea Party protesters abused black congressmen with racial epithets while demonstrating against Obamacare on Capitol Hill on March 20. The story is "Tea party protesters scream 'nigger' at black congressmen."
We believe that the congressmen's story was a fabrication intended to defame the Tea Party movement and distract attention from the resistance to Obamacare. Not a single video corroborates it. No independent witness has stepped forward to vouch for it.
Given the involvement of Rep. Clyburn in promoting the story, the fabrication extends to the Democratic congressional leadership. It is a scandal that warrants the attention of the mainstream media.
In recent installments of this series, we have posted correspondence -- both our own and that of our readers -- with McClatchy News investigative editor James Asher. (All previous installments can be accessed here.)
Readers have continued to forward their correspondence with Asher to us. This correspondence powerfully points out the deficiencies of the messages we have posted from Asher. But it is evident that Asher has no interest in examining the merits of the story.
The common theme of his response to us and to our readers is Asher's demand that a witness be produced to contradict McClatchy's story. Asher simply ignores the several videos that belie McClatchy's story far more effectively than any witness ever could.
How do you prove a negative? It was once impossible. Now, thanks to video technology it is possible, but the James Asher seems to be caught in a time warp. That is the charitable explanation. The other is that he is willing to lie for what he believes is the "greater good."

Hi, Thanks for sharing such a wonderful piece of information. I must say that while reading your post I found my thoughts in agreement with the topic that you have discussed, which happens very rare.
We would not like, in the near future, the mountain to decide to erupt, showering rain of lava to the location and then the society to term that as punishment of rain fire from heavens by the gods....creating another long term distorted story....
