According to CNN's Brian Stelter, there is a race amongst major media outlets to be the first to give Darren Wilson a platform. The list of those jockeying to book him includes but is not limited to:
• NBC's Matt Lauer
• ABC's George Stephanopoulos
• CBS' Scott Pelley
• CNN hosts Anderson Cooper and Don Lemmon
Apparently, Wilson has had multiple off-the-record meetings with anchors keen to woo him. At the same time, he has refused to show up in court to testify in cases he was involved in, forcing those cases to be thrown out.
The clamoring to give him a platform makes me sick, particularly in light of the absolute chaos simmering just below the surface while we wait for the Grand Jury's verdict.
