Look at how the Indian media reacted to the violence here, it's ridiculous how out of control they were

The Clarke-Bingle-Fev debacle - no one actually gave a fuck, but it was front page news for a week

the story of the man who accidentally set himself on fire comes to mind...

ABC story note how it says "He had just come home from a dinner party with his wife and went to park his car when four men poured fluid over him and set him alight" without using the word allegedly (which is a journalistic norm) and mentions other racist attacks in the same article

and what actually happened

How do you find such good articles :P?
I've been searching all week for this stuff lol.

There's an old saying that goes along the lines of, "If your mother doesn't know the answer to a question, then Google has it all."  :P  Gotta love that with passion.  :D
