Danville Register and Bee is being accused of yellow journalism when it comes down to the City of Danville, Va local government!

Danville Register and Bee newspaper is accused of yellow journalism and sensationalism when it comes down to City of Danville, Va and its police officers. As those on my facebook page or is privilege to hear me on television know their is a on-going civil rights case being fought in federal court against the City of Danville, Va. Michael Elder filed suit last year to address his false arrest, illegal search, excessive force complaint, and refusal to provide medical care against the City and its police officer E.K. Thompson. The Danville Register and Bee would report only that the City of Danville would be dismissed, but made no mention of officer E.K Thompson being accused and being a party to the lawsuit. He accuses them of sensationalism which reporting about generally insignificant matters and events that don’t influence overall society and biased presentations of newsworthy topics in a trivial or tabloid manner.[ Elder states, “It’s obvious they don’t won’t the facts of this case to get out. The truth needs to be heard & the news paper has continuously refused my attempts to tell my story. It’s my opinion they know if the truth gets out the police aren’t going to look good in the end but don’t worry I tape my conversations over the last 2yrs & the truths going to be heard on cross exam on 5-22-2014. The truth will come to the light..” However in Rutledge vs. Town of Chatham, Va which was filed in the same court. The same newspaper would report the parties dismissed and include the fact that the lawsuit was allowed to proceed against Officer Roach in 2010. Also, during the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisor lawsuit there would be wide spread coverage of every hearing which included the trial. Moreover, it appears that the Michael Elder case is not being covered because of the newspaper inability to write anything negative about the City of Danville, Va and its employee but will play tough any other local government in their coverage area. Moreover, Michael Elder claims are becoming well-founded as he scolded Robert Benson, lead editor for the Danville Register and Bee, for lack of reporting his trial against the City’s police department today on facebook. It appears that the Danville, Va Register and Bee will only write articles against any other local government but the City of Danville which may put them in a negative light. Danville, Va Register and Bee is known for attacking and trying to discredit black leadership. However, the most important people know the truth and consider the Danville Register and Bee newspaper another method of racism, discrimination, and suppression of black news and accomplishments. Louis Farrakhan stated to the black community and to its leadership to beware of the spin doctors in the media, they can make Jesus appear to be a tyrant. Thank you Michael Elder for staying on top of these puppet masters. Reporting, Merle T Rutledge Jr News
