UPDATE: The LA TIMES has finally reported it was a race riot at Chino.

FIFTY PRISONERS HURT IN RACIAL RIOT AT CHINO
The LA TIMES "forgot" to report that this was a racial riot. However, the OCR reported the facts. Isn't it nice when newspapers sometimes just give you all the facts--(as did the OCR in this case) instead of trying to manipulate your perceptions?

Don't we all know that newspapers are supposed to tell us: Who, why, what, where, when and how? Isn't that why we read the news--to get all the facts?

Rudyard Kipling put it this way:

I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.
