As they say in the mutual fund business, past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. But does Fox News host Howard Kurtz really believe the surveillance video of Michael Brown strong-arming a store clerk sheds no light on the subsequent confrontation between Brown and a police officer? None at all?

Well said.

Also, we doubt Kurtz would call it a “shoplifting” video if he were the clerk whom Michael Brown shoved into a potato chip rack.
