This story about the absurd lengths finger-pointing woke people will go to single out egregious racism, even when it doesn't east, may just be the best example yet of the folly of the woke police. Throw in premature journalism and you expose CNN for the fools they be. As Denzel Washington pointed out to the press, the obsession with being first over the need to tell the truth is the Achilles heel of today's woke journalists.

P.S. If you are too hurried to watch the seven-minute story, let me give you the punch line: The fan was calling for the Rockies' mascot, Dinger, only to be accused by the broadcaster, the Rockies and the woke, hard of hearing media for using the 'n-word' when a black ballplayer came to bat. The very idea that a fan would say this word -- twice -- to insult/hurt/hate the batter is silly on the surface. Yet as the video explains, this is confirmation bias writ large, i.e., the woke hear what they want to hear to serve their own absurd bias. First strike.
As the commentators note in the video, the only good thing to come of this was that the media did not post the accused person's name and then dox or cancel him before they had the real story.
This is almost as good as the story of the "single mom" CNN featured, who claimed that she was about to be evicted, along with her three kids, only for CNN to later sheepishly apologize, as the woman was the baby-sitter and not the mother of the girls, and the 'real' mother had the child by the babysitter's boyfriend, and the mother and baby daddy wanted a share of the $230,000 raised by a GoFundMe campaign. Second strike . And then they aired the woman a second time, with one of the 'Squad' members praising her. Third strike.
Aren't 'journalists' supposed to fact check a story before they put it on the air -- twice!
