A number of lawyers offered free legal help to the Covington Catholic High School students after most news outlets published reports that were severely one-sided about an incident between the students and a group of Native American anti-President Donald Trump activists.

Relying on a snippet of video footage from Jan. 18 that didn’t show the full context, the outlets published articles conveying a one-sided view of the encounter, quoting the Native American activist, who is openly against Trump, while not representing at all the side of the teens wearing “Make America Great Again” hats.
