The White Tree incident In your article concerning this incident you list that there were  nooses found on the tree  However most news websites claim there were  nooses CNN and The Toronto Star      Apparently the reason some people are so eager to claim it was two nooses rather than three nooses is because traditionally in the Klan the hanging of three nooses stands for K  K  K     The timeline published by the Jena Timeswhich uses much nonneutral wordingsays that there were two nooses  My default assumption would be that a newspaper is a reasonable and generally NPOV source  From its own website the Jena Times appears to be small operation primarily by writereditorpublisher Sammy J Franklin since January    Does anyone know more about Franklin the papers past andor its position in the community       It should also be noted that washington claims there is no relation between the noose incident and the attack  source httpwwwfederalnewsradiocomnidpidsidpage  Preceding unsigned comment added by
