NBC Nightly News—April 17th, 1974—Zebra Killings

By pure chance, as I decided to look up Frank McGee on youtube, the first video that came up was the April 17th, 1974 nbc nightly newscast—complete—with the title: “Frank McGee’s Death.”

Interestingly, on that broadcast, was a report by Jack Perkins on the Zebra Killings (12:07-14:08)–as another White body is discovered in San Francisco. Here, you see a newscast as it should be done. John Chancellor opens the story by telling us, “a string of deaths of Whites murdered by blacks.”

Thought you might be interested, this being reported in real time.

I watched the obit of McGee at the end of the broadcast and it appears he was—and probably John Chancellor was, too, if you go by his words—pro-black. Or sympathetic to blacks, though the news was still told with much more honesty—compared to today. I doubt if the “Zebra Killings”–had they occurred in 2021-22—would receive ANY coverage by Lesta Holt.

That, in itself, is a huge difference. By bringing up the race of the perps and the vics, in 1974, is also amazing to view. It’s how it should be done today, as well. That’s called reporting the facts—not censoring them.

N.S.: GRA, no matter what I put in, I could not get the video on youtube. I was, however, able to find a link to it at a video archive that is not only in a foreign language, but in a non-European alphabet.

“a string of deaths of Whites murdered by blacks.”

Such talk would be forbidden today. No mention race.
