I watch a good amount of Fox News. The story of the Central Park Five has been in the news lately. I've seen coverage of this story on the other news channels but not on Fox. Has anyone seen coverage of this story on Fox? Have any of these men been interviewed on Fox?

In recent years, Trump has continued to claim that they were guilty. Probably because he knows that his dimwitted base will believe him.

I was wondering if the lack of coverage of this by Fox was related to protecting Trump. Trump was calling for these boys to be executed in 89. Plus Fox has positioned themselves to be very pro police that they are reluctant to deal with the police misconduct involved with the Central Park Five.

Bingo. You'll be hard-pressed to get any conservative Trump supporter to admit that these five were wronged in this process.

I'm a trump supporter.

That case was a travesty of Justice and should be required reading for anyone who is blindly pro death penalty.

Boom. You lose.

It's because he took out ads back when this was news stating how they needed to be put to death.

It's now impossible for Trump to say he was wrong. He still says that just because someone else admitted to the crime and DNA backed his claim up, exonerating the five and NYC paying them $40 million, that doesn't mean they didn't do it.

This as much as anything goes to show what kind of person he is.

Fox is such an absurd propaganda outlet, I'm fairly certain you won't see anything about the Central Park Five on that network, unless they say they could still be guilty.

Conservative, and they were wronged. I personally favor in egregious cases where prosecutors know its a miscarriage of justice in real time, all lose their jobs, their pensions, all professional related degrees, certificates, right to practice law (if lawyers) in every state. In short, this should be in such cases, a career death penalty, for those personally involved in getting innocent men behind bars many years each.
