N.J. teacher ill after opening envelope with powder

[Contrary1]

That's what the headline reads. Now, read the story. Is it any wonder why the MSM lacks credibility? :eyes:

"WILLINGBORO, N.J. - An elementary school was evacuated, a teacher sent to the hospital and her class quarantined Thursday after the woman opened an envelope containing white powder that was later found not to be hazardous, authorities said.

The teacher reported some skin irritation on her hands and forearms, police said.

A hazardous materials team tested the powder and determined it was not anthrax or any other hazardous substance, said David Wyche, spokesman for the Burlington County Board of Freeholders.

The other 425 students at Garfield East Elementary School were evacuated and taken to a nearby school around 10:40 a.m., 911 supervisor Carol Holland said..."

2. MSNBC also reported that it was at a school for "troubled" kids

when in fact it is a regular public grade school near a private school for troubled kids.

But who really cares how the 400+ kids are characterized in the national media, right?

4. "Troubled" obviously means "black" kids...

At least to MSNBC. I live in the next town over, and Willingboro is a predominantly African-American community. You have to read through the secret code sometimes to see their racism.

:grr:
