Connie Morris examines the Kerner Commission's findings on how 1967 media coverage distorted Black uprisings by focusing on violence and fear while ignoring causes like racism, poverty, and housing discrimination.
She explores television's amplifying effect, the lack of Black reporters, the commission's call for media accountability, and parallels to modern incidents like Ferguson and Baltimore.
