| This is a web site entitled "Martin Luther King Jr. - An Historical Examination" (http://www.martinlutherking.org/; last accessed: 2002 August 15). We are interested in discovering the web site's bias. On the right hand side is a listing of the site's contents; we will look at "The Truth About King." |
|
The "Truth about King" page is a speech given by Kevin Alfred Strom entitled "The Beast as Saint: The Truth About "Martin Luther King, Jr." on a radio program in 1994. The third paragraph reads:
"Every January, the media go into a kind of almost spastic frenzy of adulation for the so-called "Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr." King has even had a national holiday declared in his honor, an honor accorded to no other American, not
Washington, not Jefferson, not Lincoln. (Washington and Lincoln no longer have holidays -- they share the generic-sounding "President's Day.") A liberal judge has sealed the FBI files on King until the year 2027. What are they hiding? Let's take a
look at this modern-day plastic god."
This article refers to Martin Luther King, Jr. as a "modern-day plastic god." We should begin to wonder if this web site is an authentic Martin Luther King Jr. site. Let us track down who is administering this site. |

We return to the main page. A review of the page yields no organizational name. Clicking on the "Contact the Webmaster: Click Here" link (red arrow) we find the e-mail address is:
- mailto:vincent.breeding@stormfront.org
What is "stormfront.org"? |
|
| We bring up Google (http://www.google.com) and do a search for "stormfront" (see red oval). We find "stormfront.org" as the URL (red rectangle) in the first result. We click on the link for "stormfront.org." |

This is the homepage for Stormfront, a "White Nationalist Resource Page." Stormfront is a web site for white supremacists.
It is not the official page for Martin Luther King, Jr. which can be found at http://www.thekingcenter.org/. |
