The media has an agenda, and that agenda doesn't include making minorities look bad when it comes to race relations in the US, if that was a white couple doing that to blacks, it would be covered non-stop.

I would guess it's not really being covered because there are already too many real acts of violence at schools. Maybe you should tell your buddies to stop shooting up schools so they can get to the real important issues like radical black homosexuality.

I know it sounds funny to you, but that's because you are so misinformed by the news you consume. So much of the stuff you read is just flat wrong, and your side gobbles it up.

Remember how Clinton supporters were supposedly busing in paid protesters? Total bullshit. The NYT actually went and talked to the guy who started it. Of course, you won't believe anything the NYT says, so there is no way to counter the false narratives.

How Fake News Goes Viral: A Case Study
Quote:

Eric Tucker, a 35-year-old co-founder of a marketing company in Austin, Tex., had just about 40 Twitter followers. But his recent tweet about paid protesters being bused to demonstrations against President-elect Donald J. Trump fueled a nationwide conspiracy theory — one that Mr. Trump joined in promoting.

Mr. Tucker's post was shared at least 16,000 times on Twitter and more than 350,000 times on Facebook. The problem is that Mr. Tucker got it wrong. There were no such buses packed with paid protesters.

But that didn't matter.

While some fake news is produced purposefully by teenagers in the Balkans or entrepreneurs in the United States seeking to make money from advertising, false information can also arise from misinformed social media posts by regular people that are seized on and spread through a hyperpartisan blogosphere.

I don't see politics here.
I see the new norm within the USA of Us versus Them.  I take no sides right or left, I attempt to choose righteousness, honesty and factualism.  The thing that none of you really are gathering is that with the childish bickering nobody can win.  "News" is rarely ever news in our society of late; sure, those of us with cable mind control will see a small amount of "news" at the bottom of the broadcast in the ticker.  However, the actual reporting is just nonsensical bullshit about who ate what when or who is fucking who.  Please remove thy heads from thy rectums, come together and take our culture back, please.
Best to ya

Yea absolutely, thats what I was getting at, Us vs Them is what I feel like politics amounts to nowadays. Its the right bitching about the left and the left bitching about the right. I just find the rhetoric toxic at this point, and it makes it real tough taking anything pris says seriously.

People just love to throw around umbrella terms, as if every single person under them upholds the same exact ideology. It's absurd

Yeaaah so like, basically, you seem to actually believe the obvious ploy that this new "fake news" crusade the MSM has gone on recently doesn't include them... They're just pointing the finger the other way being like... ITS DEM NOT TELLIN THE TRUTH HERRERER!!! But of course the clinton caravan was never too bright when it came to media psyops in the first place.. they're perfectly designed to ensare people who are a little bit smarter than rednecks and believe everything that a book tells them, but a little bit dumber than people who can actually think for themselves.

And you know what is funny - I literally saw the craigslist ads around election time where you could sign up to be a soros shill :lol: And don't get me wrong, I'm not taking sides. Both sides have their dirty tricks - but ya'llz the idiots when you're blind to your own camps shitstirring.

And the washington post is a propaganda news source shillin' for the clintons since the beginning - so what are they going to infuse your mind with..? :lol:

Besides those aren't even the listings I was seeing.. They were more cleverly worded. And it's straight up foolish to believe that there is no paid 'activism' going on around the general election.

Can't you see the dualistic play of these information sources? Why just choose one side to be duped by :lol:

Total false equivalency. The post doesn't print stories they know are false. There are journalistic standards that these new alternative media outlets don't give a fuck about. You may think the mainstream media is biased, but they are a lot more down the middle than any alternative media source. Those are almost entirely driven by some political or ideological agenda.

I'm sure there are people who are paid to do some shit - paying people to comment on social media for example. I seriously doubt there have been many protesters paid to go to rallies or street marches. There was no need, plenty of people were doing that because they wanted to.

From what I've noticed they report on most of the shootings in the morning, and save the higher profile shootings for the evening news. Chicago news that is.

I suppose if this happened anywhere but Chicago it would be a bigger story. It's bad for Chicago businesses if the whole country knows about the crime going on. There have been numerous robberies of stores in the nicer parts of downtown recently. Probably all the Soros employees taking advantage of the nice stores while they're here starting riots.     

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-thanksgiving-holiday-shootings-20161128-story.html

Quote:


Chicago saw one its most violent Thanksgiving holidays in years, with eight people killed and 62 others wounded between late Wednesday afternoon and early Monday.

The toll towers over the number of shootings in the previous two Thanksgiving holiday weekends, according to data kept by the Tribune.

In 2014, five people were killed, including a woman inside the Nordstrom's store on Michigan Avenue, and 14 others were wounded. Last year, eight people were killed, including a 16-year-old boy, and 20 were wounded, the data show.

This year's tally does not include the three people shot dead by Chicago police over the holiday period.

In one of those shootings, authorities said officers fired at a man who had just shot two people, one of them fatally, early Friday in the Homan Square neighborhood on the West Side.  In another shooting Sunday night, authorities said an officer shot and killed a man who wounded a pregnant woman in West Garfield Park. ^^^^ Mentioning the cops in a good light is just their attempt to gain back whatever trust they think they had with readers.   

Early Saturday in the South Chicago neighborhood, a 20-year-old man was killed and five others were wounded at a house party, police said.

The number of people shot in Chicago this year is around 4,000, more than 1,000 above this time last year, according to Tribune data. :mad2:

I know it sounds funny to you because you are so hellbent on labeling me a conservative, but I'm not.

I just thought it was fucking hilarious you said "Fake news is almost entirely a right wing phenomenon."

Who made this list? And why is it all conservative media? Where the FUCK is Buzzfeed, Gawker, Guardian, etc etc etc on this list? Who should be at the top of the list? OH right, it was made by a far left liberal.

Etc etc et fucking c. I've been watching my leftist friends pump out fake news from liberal sites for a long time.


Don't make blanket generalization statements like that next time and I won't LOL. Such an absolute statement spoken with such certainty :lol: I think you are the one that is too misinformed by the news you consume.
