11:09Now PlayingThe defense is resting its case in the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse and there’s a lot of criticism about the media coverage.
Many on Twitter are outraged by a headline from the New York Times. In a tweet, the magazine highlights how Rittenhouse “idolized law enforcement” and went to Kenosha to “play the role of police officer and medic.”
Rittenhouse’s so-called tears in the courtroom captured a lot of attention. NBA superstar LeBron James even criticized the display of emotion and how it was covered in the media.
Dr. Akil Houston, associate professor at Ohio University joins Marc Lamont Hill on “Black News Tonight” to discuss the impact in media coverage between Black and white suspects.
