AP accuses Beck group of being mostly one skin color, puts in 1st sentence of story. Makes no mention of skin color in Sharpton group.

Even Dr. King's former attorney Clarence B. Jones, describes Beck's rally as 'diverse' (late in AP's story): "Clarence B. Jones, who served as King's personal attorney and his speechwriter, said he believes King would not be offended by Beck's rally but "pleased and honored" that a diverse group of people would come together, almost five decades later, to discuss the future of America. Jones, now a visiting professor at Stanford University, said the Beck rally seemed to be tasteful and did not appear to distort King's message, which included a recommitment to religious values.

• Both groups heard from members of the King family."...

AP, 8/28/10, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and others spoke "to a vast,

• predominantly white crowd

• on the National Mall to help restore traditional American values"...

from "Beck: Help us restore traditional American values," by Philip Elliott and Nafeesa Syeed

Then BBC contributes its share, putting the word "anger" in its story title about the Beck rally:

• BBC, 8/28, "Anger as US conservatives rally in Washington"

With AP and BBC framing, we've got "angry white people."

• What should get any people angry is that media tries to build prejudice about them. Especially if they're just peaceful human beings standing quietly. Not even carrying signs.
