Lies, Damn Lies, and Convenient Omissions
Marcus Harrison Green criticizes the Seattle Times Editorial Board for their biased support of Mayor Bruce Harrell. Green suggests the board is overlooking facts and misrepresenting events to favor Harrell. He points out an incident where they inaccurately reported Harrell’s claims that a social media graphic, created by Common Power, had “darkened” his skin. Green states that the filter used made both candidates slightly orange, not darker, and that the board ignored statements from Common Power’s director, Charles Douglas, refuting Harrell’s claims. Green calls for better journalistic integrity from the Seattle Times Editorial Board.
