Continuing with Ron Casteel's talk.
MEDIA BIAS
When people complain about the presence of a Confederate flag (usually one person), it just takes one phone call to bring it down. Then the press gets comments from local NAACP and SCV members.
In the old days, most local papers were also locally owned as were TV stations, but today many are owned by large northern-based companies. Most of the reporters are not from the south and want to move on to a larger market and are afraid of the NAACP which Casteel said stood for the National Association of Always Complaining People.
