I don't deny that in most venues there are indeed "PC untouchables."
Sorry, but there's THOUSANDS of MSM outlets -- from local TV & Radio stations to local newspapers to national channels -- and YOU don't have omniscient knowledge of them all.
And this is a news flash to you that you somehow need to echo?
What would be their motive for this?
Reminds me of a story long ago.
I was about 8 or 9 years old and some kid about 13 years old in the neighborhood beat me up for no reason.
My Dad asked who it was and I told him.
My Dad found him hanging out on the corner with his hoodlum friends who started mouthing off to him, telling him “go home, old man or you’ll get your ass kicked too”
My Dad asked the punk if he thought he was tough.
The kid responds “I’m tough enough”
My Dad then asks him if he though he was strong.
The kid responds “I’m strong enough to bench press X number of pounds, etc...”
So my Dad spits on the ground and says, “If you’re so strong, pick it (the spit) up.”
The kid doesn’t know what to say or do, so my Dad “made” him pick up the spit with his face.
The kid never messed with me again.
Nowadays, my Dad would’ve been thrown in jail.
The MSM covers for their PC pets. All the kicking and screaming in the world won’t change it. Get over it.
Example: Has the South been 100% weaned of its racist ways? Is that the claim here?
just so everybody knows colofornian started this troll thread because—
Colofornian thinks FREEPers are wrong—he thinks liberals in the media DON’T Cover up race when reporting on the often black on white “knockout game” and don’t cover up religion when Muslims commit terrorist acts.
The reactive ranting has been done on the part of posters who think the cover-up of race ONLY operates one way.
All the riled up reactions on FR won't change that tunnel-vision assessment.
Thanks for your reply. It didn’t make any sense, or answer my question, but thanks anyway.
The cover up of race DOES only "operate" one way.
Blacks, illegals and homosexuals are protected by the press. All the screwy reasoning in the world can't change it!
so put up a real example, cause your pi&& poor one you started this thread with doesn't measure up.
FACT1 Most journalists are liberal
FACT2 and it directly effects the way they report race (religion, sexual orientation, etc) in their stories.
FACT3 you have completely failed in your attempts to dispute these facts.
From that article:
It’s called the “Knockout Game,” a violent and deadly amusement for teenagers who identify an unsuspecting victim and deliver a cold-hearted sucker punch that is so forceful, it renders the person unconscious. As a black man, I am horrified, saddened and angry. Police say this deeply troubling trend that so far seems to be linked mostly to young black men is spreading to many cities including Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh...Reports of these assaults have increased in recent weeks and the black teens who participate in this sick, violent game are putting their futures at risk, and their victims are turning up in hospital beds and morgues...We’re losing too many young black men to an insane sub-culture that glorifies violence; we’re watching their self-destruction play out on the streets of America every day and, sadly, some of us could become victims of this dangerous activity that our young people call a “game.”
Yes, the MSM -- especially the national venues -- has been ignoring the racial component of these crimes.
But to hear some FREEPERs tell it, they claim NO media outlets are telling it straight.
I wouldn't try to start a race war in the open forum. You'll lose.
Knockout Game: Are Perpetrators Mostly Black People? And How Far Does it Go Back?
Seems possible that in those 37 incidents researched that some of the racial info came from media reports -- and not only local government sources.
What’s your point?
His pic wasn't a clue? What does race have to do with this story?
Cauliflower is stirring the racial pot.
Needs more salt.
That the media in some of those 37 incidents DID report the race of the perp...that it hasn’t been an all-out “blackout.”
LOL!!!
