Gotta give Mid-Michigan NOW props on this one

Post by lovinlife101 » Sat Jun 20, 2020 8:11 am

While many “news” outlets have covered the story of a white man being assaulted and called “nigger” eight times at Genesee Valley Center (yes, it’s “center,” not “mall) by a black man, most “stories” never identify the races of those involved.

http://nbc25news.com/news/local/viral-v ... ley-center

Mid-Michigan NOW does identify the races. BRAVO!!! There, I said it. I am quite critical normally of what comes out of there, but this was excellent.

Check out the outlets regularly more reputable what NEVER say “black” or “white” once in their stories.

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/ ... 219052001/

Here, they are identified as “man, men, fallen man, first man” ...heck, they even describe the color of the “fallen man’s” face mask (dark), but never talk about skin color. SHAME ON YOU DETROIT NEWS!!!

Oh, if it were a white man beating up a black man for no reason and calling him “nigger” eight times on camera, you better believe it would be spelled out with race. Heck, if the black man had been called “nigger” eight times with no physical attack, it would be all over national news because it fits the current propaganda. But a white man getting beat up and called “nigger” get the BLM movement to say, “Meh. Probably deserved it.”

Did "Your Trusted Source" identify the races of those involved? That's a big NEGATIVE!

https://www.abc12.com/content/news/Poli ... 69621.html

MLive? Nope! https://www.mlive.com/news/flint/2020/0 ... voked.html It quotes police saying the description of the suspect was black, but MLive never identifies race except for one mention in a quote.

TV5? NOPE!!! https://www.wnem.com/news/police-search ... 835ce.html

Daily Mail? YES!!! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... voked.html

NYPost? YES!!! https://nypost.com/2020/06/18/michigan- ... beat-down/

It's no wonder why nobody trusts the locals to cover a story in their own area. The national news was much better and they weren't even there!

Lovin: are you feeling alright?

If it is a crime involving racial overtones, it is appropriate to identify race. In most other cases, it isn’t appropriate to identify race since it has little bearing on the understanding of the topic.
Feeling fabulous, as always, thanks.

It IS a story involving racial overtones. An unprovoked black man attacked a white man. The black man called the white man “nigger” eight times, yet the “news” censors their races.

If the white man had attacked the black man and called him “nigger” eight times, it would be all over the national news and their races would have been stated in “reports.”

But these are not news reporters. They’re activists with an agenda.

They probably would have burned the town down.
Probably, and the dumb Dems would be defending it. They've always had low expectations for blacks. Heck, they vote democrat!

Name one Flint TV or radio reporter that has burned anything down? You can’t.

And it’s alright for FOX News anchors to take political stances supporting the President... but anyone who opposes racism is an activist? That’s messed up.
If you had read before commenting you would have realized that the comment said if a white man had attacked a black man, called him "nigger" eight times, and had it all on camera, there would have been rioting locally.

Oh and your "alright" is all wrong. It's "all right."

Remember when Trayvon Martin was killed?

The media made sure you knew he was an "unarmed black teenager," mentioning it every time it mentioned him.

What does the media do when a black man attacks a white man? Nothing.

https://www.abc12.com/content/news/18-y ... 08731.html

No mention of race. ABC12 does mention "brothers," but not "black" specifically.

SHAME!!!

Been going on for years.
I'm surprised Toldo's attorney got any money out of them.
