  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Don't tell me what I'm thinking.

WaPo is owned by Jeff Bezos, who is pro-Trump, and who congratulated Trump after the election.

Guilt by association fallacy.

They are left wing:

NYT relentlessly attacked Biden in order to favor Trump, because Biden wouldn't give them an exclusive interview.

The cherry picking fallacy. NYT also wrote articles attacking Trump.

NYT is left wing:

The owner is not "association". He controls what they print, and instructed them not to endorse Biden.
They are left wing:
Your sources are incorrect.

But they favor Trump.

I’m sure you have documentation of him instructing them not to endorse Biden that you’ll share to prove your claim.

By the way, WaPo endorsed Biden in 2020, when Jeff Bezos was also in control. Why didn’t Bezos instruct them not to endorse Biden then?

Your sources are incorrect.

Based on what information?

But they favor Trump.

Yet they didn’t endorse him. Maybe the reason these two news outlets didn’t endorse Biden was because they saw the obvious mental decline that many others were seeing and didn’t think he was fit for a second term.

Also, them not endorsing a Democrat candidate doesn’t automatically make them right wing. That’s just ridiculous.

Again, your source is incorrect.

Again, based on what information?

Valletta is just pointing out that these major left wing news outlets seem to have a racial bias.

No, he's just spreading more of his right-wing rage bait.

The assailant here is obviously crazy (from the cnn article in post in #18):
Earlier this year, Brown was charged with misuse of 911 after he allegedly asked officers to investigate a “man-made” material that controlled when he ate, walked and talked, court documents state. Officers told Brown “the issue was a medical issue,” and there was nothing more they could do. Brown became upset and called 911, the records state.

Manufactured outrage being promoted by right-wing sources, notably including Elon Musk.

Iryna Zarutska, sad to say, was murdered in North Carolina. By cops? No. Were her alleged killers arrested? Yes. Was she targeted for being Ukrainian? Not that anyone has alleged. Was she targeted for being a woman? Quite possibly as that's pretty common. Was she targeted for being White? Maybe, we don't have enough information. Was this senseless and tragic? Yes.

Apparently, this is now going to be a media blitz. Great.

Most ridiculously, comparisons are being made to publicity surrounding George Floyd, who was killed by cops who, initially, were not held accountable until after protests ensued. What do the polemicists hope to gain by promoting the particular murder of Iryna Zarutska? Her attackers were immediately arrested and will be prosecuted. So what is the gain? Incitement against minorities and a call for harsher punishments? Harsher than what, one may ask, as it has not yet been meted out.

What is to be gained by this ploy? Three minutes of hate towards the "liberal media".

Sean Duffy said that he should have been imprisoned in the past for longer than he was, but neither he nor anyone else I've seen so far has laid out which crimes of his went underpunished. The only two actions against him I've seen against him were the 5+ years he did for robbery, and then being released on his own recognizance for the bogus 911 call.

What is to be gained by this ploy? Three minutes of hate towards the "liberal media".
The right-wing rabble rousers will get more money from the clicks they've generated while their gullible fanbase gets their righteous indignation stoked.

Sean Duffy the Transportation Secretary? Shouldn't he be beefing up security on public transportation then? I dunno, but this seems to be his fault...

Jordan Neely, sad to say, died. By cops? No. Was his alleged killer arrested? Yes. Was he targeted for being black? No. Was he targeted for being a homeless? No. Was it tragic? Yes.

There was a media blitz.

What did the polemicists hope to gain by promoting the particular death of Jordan Neely? His killer was arrested and was prosecuted. So what was the gain? Incitement against marines and a call for harsher punishments? Harsher than what, one may ask, as it has not yet been meted out.

It’s about the killing of this young woman and the concerning lack of coverage from these major news outlets who usually cover these stories. For example, Jordan Neely.

The "liberal media" isn't covering up anything. Not releasing a tape of a young woman being brutally stabbed to death out of respect for the family is frankly the right thing to do.

i have seen the video. the point where the knife enters the throat was of course, left out. for, reasons. i'm sure the full video will be leaked somewhere.

so far as liberal media, its a liberal city that didn't put the dude away long time ago that is the problem.
Don't blame the media when your neighbor won't vote to recall the prosecutor.

I'm not sure "coverup" is the right word for the media. Ignore, might be the better word. And they ignored it becauae it isn't sensational enough for them becauae they can't push a racist narrative or an anti-police or anti-conservative narrative.

The story also highlights how the soft on crime democratic methodology doesn't work because it gets people killed. We cant have that.

You know who else just about ignored it, too? Fox News. She was killed on Aug 22. Fox News ran one, somewhat brief, story on Aug 26:

but they didn't run anything again until Sep 8, after the video was released. Apparently they didn't think she was that big of a deal, either.
