Media Bias

Idk who Lee Merritt or Shaun King is so idc. Rally with a false narrative?

What do you want here? For the grieving family of the little girl who was killed to come out publicly and say "listen guys, we think it was a white guy in a red pickup but let's just take a few days, calm down, think rationally, explore all alternatives before we put statements in the media?

P.S. anyone who goes on witch hunts when this shit happens, whether it's Shaun King, Reddit, etc. whomever and starts asking the public to gather more info on potential suspects can eat a shit sandwich. People's lives get ruined over that shit.

Good post!


I found this but pretty sure Chico will dismiss it.

linking a murder, with a gun, to gun control is wrong?

lol...this isn't new news. LOL the NYT is simply making excuses because the boogeyman didn't exist.

False accusations that are weaponize politically is dangerous. They created a racist narrative to push a political agenda. You think this somehow ok?

Look at the facts, if live in Houston and your a minority, what's most likely to kill you? What's the biggest threat to your life? Its not the boogeyman that Lee Merritt, Congress Woman Shelia Jackson, Shaun King made it out to be this last week...this is a false narrative that continues to be weaponized to splinter this country. You are fueling hate based on racist accusations which are untrue.

Look at the facts in the Houston and crime demographics, there you will find the answer. No, actually turn a blind eye, that's what liberals have done in Chicago, New Orleans, Baltimore, Cleveland, Chicago, etc.

I was correct.

Chico man. Your hatred towards the left and your obliviousness towards the right is amazing. Especially when everything you hate about the left is EXACTLY what the right does on a minute to minute basis. I suggest you go outside, take a cold shower, come back inside, and take a fresh look at what is actually happening in this country.

This isn't about right or left...Ive been critical of the bias coverage of Fox News which I think their slant is dishonest. Just as I would of MSNBC.

But one thing I have accepted is Fox and MSNBC will continue to serve their bubble. Fine. What I don't think is fine is how biased presentation/information has now seeped into mainstream media organizations where center should be what we expect. Lay out the facts and let the viewer decide. Opinion Editorials are fine as back page filler, labeled properly, etc. but what we see is editorials presented a factual news...which it is not. It starts there and goes all the way up to Fake News. This isn't only the nightly news, this is news shows and morning news shows. If your gonna talk issues, present facts...if your gonna talk about the issues, then coverage should be fair.

If you look at Fox news and can identify issues you have problems with...whether is language choice, editorial opinions past as factual news, not presenting all relative facts, limited context, not presenting all sides arguments, misleading stats, negative slant, etc....which Im sure you could easily do. By taking the same scope...do it for MSNBC coverage...it might be tougher for you, but I sure you could.

We live in an age of information overload...I think its important to be able to discern what we see and hear. Now when it comes to politicians...bullshit reigns right?

Chico you can and people do do it. You just don't give people credit for it. Your bias shows in your statment you say you can see it at FOX but MSNBC might be tougher,BS,MSNBC is more balanced in my opinion but that is the point people will watch what they want to watch? Chico none of this is new,MSM has been like this since corporations made their news departments show a profit, now they must play to their audience and their sponsors FOX chose a side as does CNN. Here is an idea............stop watching them .

I was talking to Punch directly...meaning if he leans left it may be harder to spot on MSNBC if your unwilling to be objective. I gotta spell it out for G1.

Why are you so mad?

This is an example of the garbage fake news rhetoric about the Jazmine Barnes:

Look at this racist trash accusing the police to be white supremacists:

You are correct, Chico. That article is garbage. It's one thing to say racists have infiltrated police forces, which according to the FBI is a real thing, it's another thing to say police forces are inherently racist.

The difference is I ignore it, you point it out, which drives clicks. What is your point? Every base has extremism, from (imo) Fox News, Breitbart, to (in your opinion) The Root, to extremist Christians, Muslims, etc. there will always be a small minority of people that live their life in that extremist way.

Does it suck these extremists have a voice? Yes, in much of the same way Breitbart has a voice and is allowed to pollute people's minds with their garbage.

But you ain't gonna solve it by trying to point it out to us. How many of us do you think read The Root?
