"Politico Mag Implies George Wallace Was GOP, Blames Country's Divisions Entirely on Whites' Resistance to Civil Rights"
That often involves MISrepresenting things as seems to be the case here.
George Wallace was NOT a Republican!...
At NewsBusters.org, Tom Blumer recently called attention to this:
"A number of center-right and New Media outlets have noted Politico Magazine's disingenuousness in the opening photograph in its 'Race and the Modern GOP' article.
At the item's top is the iconic 'Stand in the Schoolhouse Door' photo showing onetime segregationist Alabama Governor George Wallace 'try(ing) to block the entry of two black students' into the University of Alabama. The aforementioned article title appears beneath the words 'History Dept.' The magazine is clearly trying to lead anyone not old enough to remember or anyone unfamiliar with U.S. history to believe that Wallace, who ran for president as a Democrat in 1964 and 1976 and as an Independent in 1968 and 1972, was a Republican."
