Race and Media Bias
Townhall.com ^ | November 30, 2014 | D. W. Wilber

Posted on 11/30/2014 12:13:06 PM PST by Kaslin

This past week Fox News regular contributor Juan Williams penned a column on the Ferguson situation questioning where the black leadership was.When I was reading through his column one particular comment written by Williams jumped off the page at me.In his column he wrote, “Incredibly, the best leadership on the scene has come from the family of the murdered teen”.

My question to Juan Williams is, what “murdered” teen ?There was no teenager murdered as a result of the police shooting in Ferguson that I’m aware of.There indeed was a black teenager who lost his life while attacking a police officer.An officer who had to use deadly force against this attacker in order to defend himself and save his own life.But no “murder” occurred.

What Juan Williams did was either purposefully done to send a message to the reader that Williams belonged to the group of ‘true believers’ who are convinced despite the fairly significant amount of evidence that points towards a justified use of deadly force by the officer, that indeed an injustice had been perpetrated against an innocent black teenager.

Or he needs to better edit his columns before they go to publication.I have that issue at times, but I don’t really think that’s the case here.I think Juan Williams was sending a message regarding his true point of view about the Michael Brown incident.

Certainly he’s entitled to express his opinion, just as I have done on this subject through a number of my own writings in recent weeks.But I don’t think I’ve been subtle or have tried to send a subliminal message at all in expressing my opinion on this case.

I’ve been up front and have openly expressed the opinion that while the death of a teenager at any time is a tragedy, it is especially tragic when that death is a result of the teen’s own stupidity, poor judgment, or criminal activity. Or because he attacked a police officer.

But what Williams did isn’t anything new in the liberal media.It’s common for them to either misrepresent racial stories, distort or cover up facts, or decline to even identify race when the perpetrator of a particularly heinous crime happens to be black.But subtlety isn’t always employed, such as in the case of some news outlets like MSNBC who blatantly slant their reporting to present a very, very liberal bias.

The liberal media knows full well the statistics that clearly show black on white crime happens disproportionately more often than the other way around. And contrary to what some in the news media, as well as some Hollywood celebrities and other public figures would have you believe, black teens are not being gunned down on our nation’s streets by rogue police officers on a regular basis.

In fact, compared to the large numbers of violent crimes committed daily by young black males, relatively few have their lives come to an end at the hands of a police officer. Most of their lives are cut short by the end of a gun pointed at them by another young black male.

But these facts are rarely mentioned by liberal columnists or the so-called mainstream media organizations.It doesn’t fit the narrative they want to project to the people.That young black males are being gunned down by police officers on American streets far too often and for no reason.

Instead of reporting the facts that blacks steal from, rape, and murder many more white people than what is reported on the evening news, most of the time information about the race of black criminal suspects lays unused on the cutting room floor of most news media outlets.

Instead what is presented is the preferred narrative the liberal “mainstream media” want people to see, that young black males are being victimized by racist police and a racist society.

When the reality is far, far different.

The so-called “news” media is dominated by Pinkos.

My question to Juan Williams is, what “murdered” teen ?

And Hopefully Darren Wilson will ask that question in the Deposition after he SUES him for Libel,Defamation...

“Incredibly, the best leadership on the scene has come from the family of the murdered teen”.

I'm not sure if he's referring to the dad calling for the town to be burned to the ground, or the mom assaulting and robbing a relative for selling T-shirts.

I guess I’d give the stepdad the nod for more audacity. Burning the bitch down has a higher profile than slugging yore mama, if push comes to shove.

Facts don’t matter when up against tribal self-identification. That’s the bottom line for “journalists” like Williams.

At least Hispanics have the honesty to call it “La Raza”, with no apologies about their own racism and purported superiority.

Perpetual victimhood keeps the goodies flowing.

What language would they use to signify “The Race” for black people. There are dozens of African languages. Only one Spanish.

Interesting... the truth's starting to work it's way into the narrative... Good job D. W. Wilber...

the most important issue is the financial game being played by the parents of both trayvon and brown bully.

The mother of brown bully has perfect straightened hair set by Pros...she is traveling the world ON NO SALARY>>>ON NO JOB>>>ON NO W-2 ? her husband is a former Con....the same can be said about mother of Trayvon...they are being treated like media rock stars ? but where are the FUNDS coming from...who is paying taxes ? obviously not Sharpton who allegedly owes $4 million but still travels first class ?

why isn’t brown bullies mother not reporting to work ? 99.99% of mothers who children are killed in WAR and Peace return to work to support their families...NOT these parasites

Swahili? Esperanto?

In this country, doesn’t really matter, as you can bet some form of ebonics would come into play.

Or, as so beautifully captured in “Airplane!” jive might be pressed into service (now that Barbara Billingsly has passed).

And they were both members of the ‘bloods’ gang. They both wore red to his funeral.

Well I’m about to get sick
From watchin’ my tv
Been checkin’ out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it’s gonna change, my friend
Is anybody’s guess

Wednesday I watched the riot. ..
Seen the cops out on the street
Watched ‘em throwin’ rocks and stuff
And chokin’ in the heat
Listened to reports
About the whisky passin’ ‘round
Seen the smoke and fire
And the market burnin’ down
Watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To stomp and smash and bash and crash
And slash and bust and burn

And I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’
Hopin’ for the best
Even think I’ll go to prayin’
Every time I hear ‘em sayin’
That there’s no way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day...

—Frank Zappa. Trouble Comin’ Every Day

Sharpton owes $4 million if they choose to go after him, maybe even jail time if they choose to go after him...

So they own him lock stock and barrel. He does their bidding.

This reckless thug was 18 years old, and I have yet to hear him referred to as a “black man”...

Fox showed they are part of the same cabal as MSNBCNN when they hired token Juan; I never watched Fox again after they had Al “Tawana Brawley” Sharpton on and referred to him as “reverend”.

When blacks riot, cities burn.

When whites riot, continents burn.
