Do you not see the difference between the demeanor of the other posters in this thread, sharing their opinions, etc... and then there is you. With zero to contribute except name calling.
You are a human pretzel. I admire the flexibility. With the reasoning you use here anything is possible.
I understand you to be saying: a bad thing isn’t such a bad thing because it is so rare because people agree it is a bad thing. That about right?

Don’t stroke out fat boy! Your boy @Been Jammin needed his daddy to come save him last time. Still fat and out of shape old man????
My only post in this thread was revenant to this thread but David Allen started the shit talk. Been jammin liked his bs post, so I threw shit that those two losers. Learn to read. You are a chicken little as well
Tell them. When you display BLM you are supporting the organization. When you march you are supporting the organization. Anytime you display the BLM logo or march in their behalf you support the brand.
Complete and utter nonsense.
Complete.
And.
Utter.
I’ve marched.
I DO NOT support BLM.org or the totality of their stated principles.
So I don't understand all the hand wringing. Is there even such a thing as national news any more? What does mainstream media even mean these days? So MSNBC may have been slow in picking up this story (have no idea if that is true)? Big whoop. I read local accounts the same day from tweets on my feed. Likely something similar for majority of us ITT.
Usual high quality contributions. Move along junior. Competent folks are having a conversation.
Me too. Marched just like you.
I don't feel that it's handwringing at all. It's calling out BS.
The MSM? That's not hard man. ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN. Washington Post, New York Times, USA Today.
Their hypocrisy is a big whoop to you. Ok.
In my opinion, Twitter/various blogger and podcasters/Drudge/Daily Wire/Breitbart/Washington Times/NewsMax/etc. are every bit as “mainstream” as those you mention.
We need new, more accurate terms...traditional vs. social media based...old school v. New school....or maybe most accurately...Leftist media v. Trumpist media.
Nope. No reason to comment. You still crying? Don’t see your UK friend post anymore
It is naive to think that anyone, hell even you, don't bring some bias to everything they do. If you were unbiased in your reporting on this site, it would be bad business. The big whoop is just recognizing facts.
Is the BBC MSM? NPR? Huffington Post? LA Times? WSJ? My point is, the list is too long - so much so the term is meaningless.
Yeah, angry little man seems angry. Frequently.
Just getting our heads straight, every body brings a bias, would be an improvement.
Worst thing you can do IMO is say all but my sources are biased.
For me, a range of sources is the goal.
Nope. No reason to comment. You still crying? Don’t see your UK friend post anymore
Who? Now you seem confused. Might want to consider some diagnostic tests to look for a cause for the over the top anger and confusion. I sure hope it isn’t anything serious. Might break your mom’s heart. I’m sure she thinks you are pretty swell.
Even better is using actual original sources like text of legislation/EOs/court decisions, video of statements, testimony, investigative reports, verified official tweets, etc. then using your own critical reasoning skill to analyze it yourself instead of just retweeting or adopting someone else's narrative.
Not always possible, particularly in subjects outside of one's expertise, but best if possible.
I can't reason someone out of a position that they didn't reason themselves into. It's a waste of time. Prove to me that there is systemic racism then I'll respond. And don't tell me it's because you see so many black criminals in the Justice system in LA. That doesn't prove anything about systemic racism. It does prove systemic criminality. Other than that, you're just another bleeding heart liberal lawyer doing what they always do...promoting demonstrably and predictably failed policies based on good intentions as the way forward when, in fact, it's massive regression and destruction. Liberals have obliterated the black family with their "so called" good intentions. And the irony is that you call yourselves progressives.
To totally delegitimize media seems like some china or Russia/Putin handbook bullshit.
You know how this goes, JD. For every article you offer as evidence, a contrary one could be introduced. And there are many. Such as the Harvard study by a black professor who was shocked at his own conclusions that there was no difference.
I've glossed over one of them you provided and it doesn't prove anything. Blacks certainly have disproportionate interactions with police based on simple demographics but likely under proportionate based on the amount of crimes they commit. Arresting criminals and enforcing the laws doesn't make one a racist or even imply systemic racism. It just proves that the black culture produces a helluva lot of criminals. The numbers are off the hook and shocking. And I take no joy in making that statement whatsoever. It's very very sad for them and for our country.
Anybody defending journalism today is delusional or a liberal. Something like 90%+ of journalist contribute to the Democratic party. The negative coverage against Trump hit over 90%. All you need to do is to read the resignation letter of the NY Times Editor to know just how insidious they've become. Same with the lady who resigned from MSNBC. Twitter deletes conservatives posts. Facebook deletes conservative postings with their perverted logic. Even the Drudgereport is now useless.
So who do you believe? Trump? Random twitter personalities? It’s very dangerous to go down the path of ignoring media and journalists. Sure there are terrible ones just like in any profession. The Trump stuff is warranted. Regardless of what side of the isle you are on he just isn’t good with the public speaking aspect of his job. Seems to riff on the fly and he gets picked apart for it. Couple that with burning pretty much all bridges with media and that’s what you get.
It's dangerous for the media to intentionally mislead the public.
Smart people realized years ago that we're not getting news -- we're getting propaganda.
So when you say media. All media? Are you saying there is a conspiracy and that all journalist, papers, and TV media are coordinated and in on it. And if all the media are in lockstep with propaganda and conspiracies. How did the smart people find out about it?
Lol. You glossed over a 55 page academic article and determined it didn’t prove anything.....because “black culture produces a helluva lot of criminals.
Yeah, we are in a post racial society.
I don’t engage with those that willingly and deliberately abandon their critical reasoning.
Bye, girl.
Prove to you something that you have already declared there is no possibility of you ever believe?
Prove something to someone that has abandoned all critical reasoning in favor or verbatim quotation of inane Trumpist talking points?
Prove someone that strawmans everything said, doesn’t read for comprehension, and actively mischaracterizes what is said and the positions taken?
Hard pass.
Did I even defend journalism today in the post to which you responded with this strawman diatribe of Trumpist talking points?
No.
I didn’t.
Move along you ridiculous mope.
Pretty much all media....MSM/Alt-media, traditional/no traditional, leftist/Trumpist, Twittersphere from both sides, whatever....has a bias.
And always has.
In today’s times, they almost all also universally intentionally mislead and actively influence.
The danger in media today is in assuming it’s only your chosen sources that are giving it to you straight. Extreme skepticism of all media sources for analysis of original source evidence is your friend...not just the ones you have deemed “fake news”.
(Note: universal, not specific, “you”.)
