Brittney Griner vs "Missing White Woman"

Unread post by TC Talks »

This speaks volumes as to how much biased there is in Media. Only the organizations that are considered to be credible have limited coverage, the more conservative victim media hardly mentions the fact that an American has been detained on bogus charges.
Aileen Gallagher, an associate professor of journalism at Syracuse University, says, "It is absurd this isn't a H*** story" dominating the airwaves as well as the front pages of America's largest newspapers.

"It is a clear domestic connection to the biggest story in the world right now that also involves an athlete who is considered one of the best to ever play the game," Gallagher told NPR.

She called it the "exact inverse of the 'missing-white-woman syndrome,' " a term coined by journalist Gwen Ifill to describe the constant news coverage, largely by cable news outlets, after a white woman goes missing. In Griner's case, Gallagher said, "We haven't seen anything like that."

Interestingly, ultra liberal Mark Levin spent about 15 minutes on this story the other night.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

They're not actually bogus charges in Russia - she broke their laws. Also, we know where she is, meaning she's not missing. She is being detained for what we as Americans would generally say is bullshit, but she chose to break their laws. Your wokeness radar failed you again...

The Russians claim that she broke some of their laws. She is an American. She probably did not break some American laws.

Using their logic, if someone disagrees with the Russians in this forum, if they try to go to Russia, they can be detained for speaking up against Russia.

Using this logic, the next time I go visit Turkeytop, and get caught speeding on the 401, I should be let go because it's not an American law to obey the speed limit in Canada.

Hey, the sign said the speed limit is 100. How did I know it was kilometers per hour? We don't use no stinkin' metric system in the states.

Part of the issue is also that she is LGBTQ+. That plays into coverage too. The Repubs only want to mention it, while the Dems just want it to be the only subject about her... and the trans rumors. Folks, that's why you balance out your news and check news from other countries.

Places like Global News seem to focus on the story and not the political leanings. We need more outlets to be fact only. Editorialism and opinionism turn me off, as they are telling me what and how to think.

Would anyone show a missing Native American? I sincerely doubt it. So.... what ethnicities have more clout? White and black, but not anything in between. Notice that I'm the first to point this out. Let's stop being 2, maybe 3 ethnicities!

It’s hard for me to feel bad for someone who willingly decided to live there. If she was visiting at a tournament or something, that would be one thing.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

I've done a bit of googling. From what I can find, she lives in Arizona. How did you ascertain she lives in Russia?

Looks like she will be living.... I mean dying... in Russia. Prisoners and labor camp criminals get tortured and killed in Russia. That is a norm. Prisoners do it for favors and booze, while the guards encourage it. Medical issues = slow execution, as we are seeing with the US military guy. I forget his name.

She won't be getting a gf in prison over there!

It's guarenteed that she will be guilty in court, if the crime did not actually happen. China and Russia are both like that.

Circle Seven: That is a good enough argument for me. But why would you want to visit TurkeyTop in Canada?

He knows the sommelier at The Keg Steakhouse. Excellent recommendation for what pairs with their prime steak.

Don't let this working class facade fool you. Turkeytop keeps his elbows off the table and knows which one is the salad fork.

Are you suggesting that we, in the working class would usually be uncouth?
