Author Dan Lawton Ponders: “Who were really the good guys and the bad guys?”
As a kid, I found the Troubles hard to understand. The American media just didn't do a good job of explaining clearly who, exactly, were the opposing parties, and what things they wanted out of the war that was going on in Northern Ireland. At times, they made it seem like a religious war of sorts, which it wasn't. I read about Bobby Sands dying in 1981, in the U.S. media, which conferred a kind of stardom on him. But, to me, the coverage … [Read more...]

Author Ron Chepesiuk on America’s Black Serial Killers
Popular mythology perpetuates the belief that serial killers are predominantly white. This stereotype is reinforced by media portrayals that primarily focus on white serial killers, further strengthening the myth.
