Throwing Light on the Dark Side of Dorner’s Rampage

Usually a stickler for catching language usage, I happened to miss the significant comment pointed out by Linn Washington, Jr.

The last sentence in the seventh paragraph of that February 7, 2013 New York Times article stated: “Mr. Dorner laid out grievances against a police department that he said remained riddled with racism and corruption, a reference to a chapter of the department’s history that, in the view of many people, was swept aside long ago.” That unsourced, anonymous “view’of many people” cited in the NY Times article obviously did not include the views of the dozens of identifiable actual people who participated in a October 2012 demonstration against police brutality outside LAPD headquarters.

A reminder of how the media attempts to create and push a worldview onto the readers many of whom, like myself, will fail to catch the cues being sent directly past their conscious filters.

Indeed who are the "many people"?
