Something rare. A fair and impartial news report on a leaked autopsy report on the death of Michael Brown

By Rob Janicki


While looking for video from the MSM television networks on the leaked autopsy report on Michael Brown, who was shot last August in Ferguson, Missouri, I came across this YouTube video produced by what appears to be an amateur effort called Complex News with the host, Jinx, a young black man delivering the news of the leaked autopsy report.

To preface this video below, it should be noted that neither CBS or NBC nightly news programs even mentioned the leaked Michael Brown autopsy report on Wednesday 10/22/2014, while some print media did so.  ABC News had a short minute and a half segment on the report.

Watch the video and see if you agree that this is what journalism should be all about, to wit, the facts, just the facts delivered in a straightforward manner with no opinion or emotional intonations from the news reporter.  I tip my hat to Jinx for his report, since he provided far more information than did the three MSM television networks on their prime time Wednesday nightly news programs.
