Henry Louis Gates

The story i chose to research was about Henry Louis Gates Jr, who's house was broken into in Cambridge MA, and was arrested and some say it was a racial attack. This story was pretty big considering Obamas response and the racial issue.The New York Post was the first news paper i read the story from. In the Post online they had the full 911 recorded call wich was pretty interesting, concidering the 911 call or the fact someone broke into this mans appartment was not the head line of this story. The Post gave qoutes form the police officer and Obama saying it was "stupid" but i think they definatly were really highlighting the racial issue instead of the cold facts like the New York Times did. From reading the post to reading the times, the story got more detailed. The Times gave real facts and touched all issues from the debate of weather or not it was a raccial attack to Obamas responce.
The other newspaper i read was the BBC. I was confused after reading this becuase it said that Gates door had been jammed, wich is a detail that was not given from the other newspapers. There was a lot lacking in detail, and i feel really gave a twist to the story, and made it seem like racial profiling was common in the states.
