'Serious and thoughtful differences of opinion, with plenty of good intentions on both sides, exist on these matters. The AP instead presents the topic as a battle of evil assaulting the good.' -QuinHillyer
The promo begins like this: “It has been a decade since the U.S. Supreme Court issued a milestone ruling that overturned the heart of the Voting Rights Act.”Surely not a single person who voted for the act in 1965 considered the excised portion to be the legislation’s “heart.”
The law’s purpose was to force the elimination of tactics, such as poll taxes and literacy tests, used by some states and localities to keep black citizens from voting. The Supreme Courtmerely struck down one small provision in a much larger act. That provision, Section 4B, provided a formula by which another controversial provision, Section 5, was to be applied.
An “unbiased” news report might say many analysts consider the provision an extremely important part of the law, while other analysts adamantly disagree. That would be unbiased. To state as fact, however, that the time-limited provision isAssociated Press can cite numerous other incontrovertible facts not only to support their opinion on the provision’s wisdom but also to refute theassertion that the provision is the very heart of the Voting Rights Act. Logically, of course, the true “heart” of the act included all the other provisions, still entirely operational, that eliminated the illicit tactics that kept black people from voting. Long gone are the days when only a tiny percentage of minority voters could cast ballots.
