Fred-Hampton (Black Panther Leader, Assassinated)

The F.B.I. and the Chicago police assassinated a Black Panther leader [Fred Hampton] as he lay in his bed one night during the Nixon (37th, 1969-1974) administration [on December 4, 1969]. Well, if the press had any integrity at all, if the Washington Post had any integrity, what they would have said is, "Watergate is totally insignificant and innocuous, who cares about any of that in comparison with these other things." But that's not what happened, obviously. And that just shows again, very dramatically, how the press is lined up with power. - Noam-Chomsky/Understanding-Power (Noam Chomsky)
