The main stream news only reports white on black crime right now causing these riots. A lot Omission of facts. Demonizing white people. Shirts and things are happening but I know a lot of white people and I know a lot of Black people and all these people are good people but you don’t hear anything about them. It’s only white cops killing black criminals. These criminals are the hero’s in America because they got shot by the police for failing to comply. It’s the strangest feeling ever. Luckily I live in San Diego. One of the most chilled big city and probably the most diverse. That what I like about this city, plus the beaches and mountains

You country is probably the least racist it's ever been
5 incidences in as many months don't mean anything in a country that size -
The news in general reports on crime in general. Thats how its always been. White, black, or otherwise, criminals and bad situations make headlines. You never see headlines like "A black man walks into a university today and aces exam" or "2 guys sit on the porch and just do... nothing" and you never will. "Extra, extra, read all about it... kid goes to school without gun, doesn't shoot up class"
The funny thing about mainstream media is that everyone is complaining about it yet it is mainstream for a reason. Everyone hates it but everyone consumes it. It's like I said in that other thread, I've noticed that the people who hate certain things can't seem to stop talking about them or consuming information on them.
Anyway if the mainstream media is in fact fueling the current climate in America, that's because America is letting them. We can't blame mainstream media for that. They are just delivering a product that we so rabidly consume

The issue with the mainstream media is not that they're mainstream or too mainstream, but that they're overly biased and lying.
I agree that they're mainstream for a reason and that is not the biggest concern as long as its not the only kind of media or journalism. And also that they are as they are for a large part because of the audience. -
Din Djarin Sensationalized and distorted, sure. But they can't get away with outright lying. Look what WaPo's handling of the Nick Sandmann story cost them. There is accountability in the mainstream media so even if they did intentionally lie, they wouldn't get away with it.
But they do present a narrative that everything wrong in the world is all that's happening. They do make reality look more grim than it really is, but it's not like they are routinely making things up.

My favorite is when people say "yOu wOnT sEe tHe MaInsTrReAm mEdIa tAlKiNg aBoUt tHiS " then they share an article from a mainstream media sourceComment

Also I dont think the mainstream media covers white on black crime any more than any other crime, I think they cover police brutality against black people. Before social media police brutality was often swept under the rug and not talked about at all. The media really only started covering such things when videos of police brutality started commonly being filmed and put on social media, so the attention it receives in the media is basically the result of citizen journalismComment

The contextomy the mainstream media engage in and snippets of video they show is certainly a distortion of truth, suppose it could be considered lying depending on how broad one's definition is. It seems to appeal to the immediacy our culture operates on with media in general, or perhaps social media in particular, brief 140-280 character capped tweets and 1 minute tik tok videos. So a shooting involving police officers that extends beyond this appears comprehensive enough for many to not bother further investigating the preceding circumstances of the suspect's failure to comply or the reason(s) of police involvement in the first place. The unfortunate thing is due process, by nature is slow and gradual, which leaves a chasm for mobs to act out on false pretenses or perceptions of the system at large that may or may not be founded with a particular incident.
I remember watching a podcast and the guest, cannot recall who it was, mentioned how they embraced the podcast form of dialogue because in contrast to the msm, you're able to express fully formed viewpoints on a topic, in comparison to news channels where, as a guest, you're relegated to about a 5 minute segment, often with a couple of other people and a host who can interject at any point.
Also, I get the impression news articles have increasingly become more like op-ed pieces, which is a bit disturbing.
The legacy media has taken a reactive stance against being labelled "fake news" and coupled with the increasing presence of alternative media, stories become more sensationalized to keep attention drawn to them.Last edited by Audiogen; 09-06-2020, 04:10 PM.Comment

So I totally agree, black lives matter, and systemic police violence is a problem.
I kinda feel like there aren't a lot of clear goals. Is end goal just to get cops killing black people at the same statistical rate as cops killing white people? It doesn't sound good on a t-shirt, but maybe that's a reasonable goal. But I think it's difficult to get there while cops spend more time policing black areas. So maybe use cops less for arbitrary enforcement in black neighborhoods and actually prosecute cops who get trigger happy.
But to some extent VG is right. This a huge country, and police shootings are going to keep happening. And I'm not sure our conversations about police violence are very healthy right now.

Yep. There were some pretty incredible fireworks shot at police just before that. High grade, luckily it didn’t hit them but landed right between them. They called it a riot when that guy was set on fire. Only took 5 minutes for it to become one,
What I thought was odd was that the guy.ran through it, that fanned the flames as he ran. The guy is not too bright. In grade school we learned stop, drop and roll. Someone Had to called this out to him. Lol

Yeah, the police are dumb shits. You're not allowed to be a cop if you're intelligent, and it shows. They're just stupid idiots, a private army of complete dumbshits for corporations.Comment
