NY Post's double standard on race stories
NY Post

Posted on 10/19/2018 7:05:51 PM PDT by TakebackGOP

The NY Post, which has criticized Trump a lot, even though they endorsed him, has a double standard with their headlines on news stories that deal with racism:

"White woman unleashes racist tirade at men outside bar" https://nypost.com/2018/10/19/white-woman-unleashes-racist-tirade-at-men-outside-bar/

"Man gets sliced in unprovoked pizzeria attack" https://nypost.com/2018/10/17/man-gets-sliced-in-unprovoked-pizzeria-attack/

"“He starts rambling about ‘f–king white people,’ then he turns around and starts gesturing towards me about the evils of the white man, talking about how they’re the devils of the world,” said Bilcik, who is white. “And he’s pointing at me.”

The assailant, who is black, then tried to sit down at Bilcik’s table, despite the Mott Haven slice-shop being practically empty."

If it wasn’t for the double standards of the leftist media, there’d be no standards at all.

Why pick on the NYPost? They all do it!

The AP Styleguide says that a news story should mention only when it's relevant to the story.

I concluded quite some time ago that to the news media, race is always relevant whenever a white person does something bad to, or says something mean to, a black person.

But race is never relevant when a non-white person is the perpetrator, no matter the circumstances.

At a big newspaper, there are several ways to affect the impact of the news that have nothing to do with being a journalist. One of those is headline writing. It’s a powerful position, because many people are short of time and just read the headlines.

Another is layout.

Another is photos. The Times has a long history of photos being altered.

Another is the little squibs that describe things, like the top of page 3 of the Times.

Everybody at a big newspaper is trying to get their voice heard without having gone to journalism school.

It’s nice to see somebody else recognizes the NY Post is NOT a friend but a stealth enemy. They only endorsed President Trump because they know if they endorsed Clinton their few reads would run away. The despicable bastards even ran a nude yes nude picture of Melania on their FRONT page.

Because they’re supposed to be more conservative, but they’ve been liberal lately.
