    Oh I see. It's a Fox News slogan. Hopefully this shows you that I'm FAR from a Fox News loyalist!

    I've been around for long enough (and I suspect in your 50 years you have too) to know that what is in an article's title, is often FAR from the truth! In the video you say? Okay, but I can't see why the useless article author didn't put something as significant as that in the body.

    If someone commits a crime people like to see them remain in jail.
    Early release, or a major delay in arresting them, caused people to feel like justice isn’t being delivered

    It's a television station. The bulk of the content is video. Your laziness doesn't negate that.

    Another gotcha with no gotcha on your part.

    Why is no one talking about the Houston police officer who shot a baby in the head?

    By the logic in this thread it is “because they hate babies”

    You think that I was hitting you with a 'gotcha?' I was trashing the reporting of the news source! Nothing to do with you!

    This is "no one?" Interesting definition.

    You mean like this story which nobody cared about, where two weeks passed before an arrest? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...Macys-manager-unprovoked-attack-arrested.html

    Thanks for the reminder about this one!

    And, as I pointed out, the reporting was fine - YOU were at fault.

    In your opinion. In my opinion the reporting SUCKED, as the headline didn't reflect the body. And how the hell was it a 'gotcha' on you?

    That's a whole lot less coverage than the media gave a Christian kid for smiling at an Indian. I know, having a 10 sec blurb about something that is bad for the Democrat narrative is equal to 24x7 coverage of something that is negative about Whites or conservatives.

    And this means that headlines shouldn't match bodies? Do you work for that outlet? You're sure working pretty hard to defend it!

    Wasn't my link. Why are you unable or unwilling to watch the actual reporting?

    And yet you're working pretty hard to defend it!

    Specifically WATCH? If I notice a video, sure, but sometimes it's not immediately obvious that an article has an embedded video. And sometimes the embedded video is unrelated to the article.

    1. I simply pointed out your sloppy attention to the obvious.

    2. The big white arrow in the middle of the first image immediately below the headline is a good clue. And this time the video was completely related to the article. Total failure on your part. Own it and learn from it.

    You're assuming that my computer is good enough that the video frame loads immediately. It doesn't. Besides, articles are about the actual article, not the video embedded in them! I focus on the articles.

    I'm not sure peoples voyeuristic attraction to horrific deaths is a good reason to give a particualr crime national media attention but I'm also sure there will be lots of other similarly horrific murders that don't receive national coverage anywhere.

    I disagree. Like all US media, they will be consciously and subconsciously influenced by the American obsession with race. Stories that reflect (or can be spun to reflect) the racial divisions in the US will get more attention than stories that don't and all commercial media is driven by whatever gets them the most viewers/listeners/clicks.

    There is nothing in the article to suggest it has anything to do with story (in fact it says the identity of the juvenile suspects hasn't been released so it isn't even clear how you know they're black). That is why it has everything to do with your decision to highlight the skin colour of the suspects. Racism isn't about events, it's about words and actions.

    Two wrongs don't make a right. If you're comfortable being as bad as the media, I'm comfortable treating you with an equal level of contempt.

    Yeah, that was my bad: https://www.dailywire.com/news/two-...es-were-reversed-it-would-be-a-national-story

    You appear to have missed what the thread is about. Take a look: http://www.politicalforum.com/index...llegedly-burning-a-white-guy-to-death.586094/
