MORE MAINSTREAM MEDIA FAKE NEWS

Guest Post by Ol’ Remus

The Associated Press news service, as policy, does not specify the race of a perp unless he’s white. When there is no description at all we’re supposed to believe none is available, which has become something of a wink-wink in itself. Recently the AP used an inventive dodge, “police did not release a detailed description”. How precious. Now even their coverups have a coverup.

Here are the particulars.

“Boy, 3, out shopping with grandma dies in road rage shooting” says this Associated Press news report from Little Rock, Arkansas. It continues, “Police said they were looking for an older black Chevrolet Impala. Police did not release a detailed description of the man who was driving it.” The last sentence seemed devious even for the AP, so I checked a source known for being more straightforward and complete, the UK’s online Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail report was , “Arkansas boy, 3, is shot dead in sickening road-rage attack ‘because his grandma wasn’t driving fast enough'”, by Associated Press and James Wilkinson for dailymail.com. Here are the key sentences: “The other driver honked his horn, and King-Macon honked back, the police report said. ‘A black male then exited [the Impala] and fired one shot’, the report said.”

Now we know the police report included a cursory description at the least. Notice the Daily Mail’s account was based on the AP story but was much more informative, including photos of principals and something of a description of the perp. CNN, ABC, Fox16-local and NBC also used the AP story but included, or added, a description in their on-line reports. Some used the policeese “B/M”, ABC said, “a tall black man”.

Fox News US online also used the AP story but took the coverup even further, “no description of the suspected shooter has been released,” which is a lie. Or if you prefer, fake news. Even Huffington Post included the “tall black man” description. Nor did the Fox News Report on television that night include anything specific about the shooter.

Bottom line, the AP release for the US was the least honest, the US online tevee news sites except Fox were marginally better, the AP release in the UK as augmented by Daily Mail staff was the most honest and informative. People distrust, if not despise, the mainstream media in the US for many reasons. This is one of them.

For many of these left wingers,I think that they believe what they are saying.When someone is too stupid or mentally ill to discern the truth,is it fake news or a distorted reality?

Tampa: I once had a Sergeant Major in the Army explain to me,” Sir, when someone believes his own line of b/s it is all over”. He was right and the soldier in question was given a ticket home with a general discharge……

Here is an article full of fake news.From the Washington Post,fairly long,full of subtle distortions & cya s so the writer can claim to be simply reporting & not advocating.

“What If?94 Questions That Still Keep Some Dems Up At Night”

How can you really discern fake news from real news? I say few people here could actually do that. I doubt I could and I am positive Starfcker and Rdawg would be confused. There is just as much fake news on right leaning sites.

The Remus commentary was on how crimes committed by blacks
are “hidden” through incomplete reporting/lies by omission.
Further, not mentioned, are some reported crimes imply a white perp
when in fact a black was the one. I seriously doubt the MSM personalities
don’t know who is involved…buy they are charged with delivering a script.
There is no doubt that Left and Right ( hahahah) both make stuff up,
lie, misreport on purpose, and so on.

The simple fact of the matter is that if they reported the race of criminal, it is mostly black.

And an internet search about black and suspect or similar would turn up huge amounts of data to show the true extent of the problem.

Hard to search photo’s, which are sometimes included in lieu of a description, for the race of suspects using normal internet search engines.

I watched this grandmother/instigator/horn beeping monster on the news, she did not even shed one crocodile tear for the slaughtered grandchild, who she was responsible for.

she was the one who was driving too slow, which almost always means she was distracted,
she was the one who elevated the reaction to her shitty driving, by honking, instead of ignoring and just moving on.

And on top of all this, she tells the news people “we seen dis car, he lives around here, we gonna get dat sucka”

(this was a fake new comment, for those who can’t discern reality from thinkspeak)

And let’s not forget when the article refers to a person as a man, it is always an illegal alien.

IE. Manchester man arrested for DUI, reckless conduct, driving without a license and resisting arrest.
(Insert Howie’s Mexican bugle sound here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK4yOA37Q7c).

But of course he is a good boy, a very good boy.

One of my favorite Howie-isms.

Facts and truth are totally irrelevant, and are often an impediment, when your one and only agenda is the manipulation of public opinion. The MSM is on a decades-long suicidal path to insignificance. One can only hope that this Fourth Turning will be the death blow for them. Au revoir varmints.

My favorite part is when at the end of one of these stories the final paragraph includes the sentence “Police are seeking the public’s help to find the suspects”.

What we get on the MSM is pc-filtered news, and the percentage of actual news content has been greatly diminished. Thanks for paying attention.
