Racial Bias in the Media - Just how bad is it?

Exactly the point, about this news media bias thread.

You're a member of the media?

It exists, this type slanting is done on a daily basis versus black males. For instance, First Down citing so-called crime stas as reason enough for Zimmerman to kill Martin. These stats are facts but they are presented in a bias fashion in order to criminalize black males "aka the enemy", or slant the news.

All the break-ins that were witnessed or solved (according to the local cops) were committed by young black males. Should we ignore that uncomfortable fact?

Thanks Rat you made my point. Media bias exists. Frist Down stas are padded with car break-ins and petty theft.

So if you're a pudgy, cowardly man and know you are ineffective physically how would you lawfully protect yourself?

Once you are challenged you use what you perceive as your equalizer to a younger, fitter, more violent threat.

Rat you're not addressing the white male sexual assault stats that prove Trayvon was right to suspect Zimmerman was attacking him? Your bias is hanging out.

Trayvon contributed to his own death by accidentally going to the store while George was prowling with his gun. Coming home from the store is contributing to your own death?

In that little world that you live in what do normal people do when they know that someone is following them ,I ask because in the real world you would scream for help or run to a neighbor ..or ...hell even run away but no , the "teenager went and confronted a total stranger"...tell me how smart that was !

Each year, low-life scumbags abduct about 58,000 unrelated children, primarily for sexual purposes, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Nearly half of these children are sexually assaulted.
90% are by white males


You are ignorant of what you speak .

That's just pretty much how G84C rolls.

Sorry, you're right .I'm still getting use to it.

Rat you're not addressing the white male sexual assault stats that prove Trayvon was right to suspect Zimmerman was attacking him? Your bias is hanging out.Ummm, this shouldn't be about race. ANY child molestation / teen rape is bad. That being said, your attempt to use ethnic stats to justify Trayvon Martin attacking George Zimmerman is faulty on two points:

1. Gary84, you said "90% are by white males". Didn't see predator ethnicities on the missingkids site, but based on childmolestationprevention.org, your numbers are off. (http://www.childmolestationprevention.org/pdfs/study.pdf)They do have whites as 79% of offenders, but claim whites were overrepresented.

Demographic of US total: White alone, percent, 2012 (a) 77.9%. White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, percent, 2012 63.0%. So about 70% depending on whether you count "white hispanics" like Zimmerman.

The point is, while whites are more likely to commit child molestation than others, it's nowhere near enough to be statistically significant like you claimed. Read the survey, and you'll find that if you're saying Trayvon Martin had special reason to fear a white man would sexually assault him (more than all other ethnicities), then neither he nor you understand statistics. (hint, factor offenders vs. pop. The variance is smaller than you think.)

2. What sexual predator calls 911, and has the cops on the way, right before he tries sexually assaulting someone? The answer, I would think, is none. Kinda like a robber at a bank calling the cops right before he tries robbing it. If Zimmerman did anything wrong, sexual assault wasn't it. Which brings up one point: The prosecution absolutely hammered Zimmerman for making an incorrect assumption about Martin. That Martin had actually gone to the store and back, and wasn't just wandering aimlessly casing homes. If we are to believe you, Gary84, then Martin also made a false assumption about Zimmerman and acted on it. That Zimmerman was going to sexually assault him, when he apparently wasn't after calling the police first.

Nevermind that there's no evidence that Zimmerman tried molesting Martin, while there is evidence Martin was beating up Zimmerman.

In short, Gary84, you aren't helping Trayon Martin's case any. Rather, you're like the Rachel Jeantel of this thread.

PS. After googling this stuff, there should be no opposition to the death penalty for child molesters. According to studies, child molesters aren't any particular demographic other than males. Income, race, social standing doesn't matter. They're just plain evil.

The topic is media bias. It's okay to use stats to criminalize Trayvon but ther are equal stats taht could criminalize Zimmerman. Media Bias. Ignorant about sexual offenses? prove it? she lie fan!

I'm done, the point is there is a media bias. It is silly to try to use cirme stats to criminalize black males, white males, or whomever. It's just dumb.
