Is the media left wing racist?

Question

There was a story in LA recently where 7 black girls saw some white girls walking down the street and went up to them harassing them and then started kicking and punching them. It was barely mentioned at all and I only found out about hte even while look for something else.

Then in NY recently a black guy got shot by cops recently and its on every media that this poor guy was engaged to be married and was shot FIFTY TIMES by the evil police. What wasn't mentioned in the headlines was that the car this guy was driving in attempted to run over two police officers twice.

I wasnt really much of a conspiracy person but this kind of stuff is ridiculous

Answer 1

There's much that's arbitrary about what is and isn't reported.

You're talking about two different news sources, presumably on different days (there are different amounts of news on different days).

Cops being overly-aggressive is rightly reported. They're on the public payroll, and we all need them to do the right thing. (50 sounds excessive -- even if he was the driver who tried to run over them, which isn't clear from what you've said.)

But there's much less of intent in what gets reported.

You mention two cases. People could easily give dozens of stories that were and weren't reported pointing in the other direction.

You just happened to see those two, close together in time.

If anything, the press is far too pro-government in its reporting.

Answer 2

The choices of the media goes both ways. Sometimes they report things bias towards blacks, sometimes things bias towards whites. Whatever brings in ratings. Why was the OJ case so popular? Because a black man got away with killing his white wife. There is enough negativity about blacks everywhere, do we really need anymore negative publicity to make everyone hate black even more?

Answer 3

depends on which tv stations or newspaper you watch or read. and of course, it depends if you are right or left wing too!

Answer 4

They are in the UK for sure!
