Well, there was that guy in St Louis in August who was gunned down by two "officers" because he was carrying a knife. They fired 12 times between them. Then there was that guy in Alabama a couple of weeks ago . . .
Majority Of 'Fox News Sunday' Guests Discussing Ferguson Are White By Jackson Connor "Fox News Sunday" had a disproportionate number of white guests on air to discuss the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, and the resignation of officer Darren Wilson, according to a report by Media Matters published Monday. On Nov. 30, "Fox News Sunday" invited six white guests and two guests of color to discuss the events unfolding in Ferguson. The debate centered on the killing of an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, and the greatly affected black community in America. "On Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, an all-white panel discussed the developments in Ferguson and how the United States can best combat racial discrimination," the report reads. "The show also hosted a separate discussion with two lawyers in the case, one of whom is white, and held solo interviews on the topic." Sunday talk shows on other networks offered more diversity in their handling of the discussion, however. "On November 30, 67 percent of guests on NBC's Meet the Press during segments on Ferguson were people of color, or six out of a total of nine," the report reads. "ABC's This Week hosted three white guests and three black guests, or 50 percent, while CBS' Face the Nation hosted slightly more white guests, four out of a total of seven." Studies have shown that people of color are often under-represented on television news, regardless of the topic of conversation. In July, progressive watchdog Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) found that 84 percent of guests on top cable news shows were white. -------------------------- No bias here. Move along please.
This kins of garbage is the reason why people laugh at you anti science liberals, if you break those numbers down, basically had they put on 2 more black people amidst all the guests on all the sunday shows it would have been a proper representation, and you make it out like its a big deal, as if we havent heard from every black person in america already. Why doesnt Media Matters do a study on the number of black anchors who were in ferguson? Gee I wonder why they were sending out mostly black anchors when the pants up dont loot crowd is running around knocking off white people with hammers.
They're getting desperate, Max. They can see that Ferguson is already losing interest among Americans, and they're doing everything they can to bring race out to the forefront. Sit back and laugh. I've told you, I believe they hit peak racism and they'll do everything they can to shriek it, as they go ever so noisily into that good night. This is dbgarland stays up all night bumping all the worthless threads he's posted in order to keep them relevant and on the first page. "Guests of color"....lol! I find it hilarious.
White America’s ignorant bliss: Why so many “good” white people are completely oblivious Black people have to learn everything about white people just to stay alive. White people just don't get that
by John Hayward In response to The Media is Backing Away from the Left's Narrative About the Brown Case: How splendid of the media to back away from that Ferguson narrative, now that they've caused untold property damage, and possibly contributed to a death or two. (I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear why a gang of "juveniles" decided to beat a Bosnian man to death with hammers in front of his wife in St. Louis on Sunday night. The mainstream press, however, seems distinctly uninterested in the story.) They can afford to "back away" from their precious Ferguson narrative because it's achieved orbital velocity. The people rioting over Michael Brown will tell you they don't much care about what actually happened between him and Darren Wilson. The St. Louis Rams players who trotted onto the field this weekend doing that stupid "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" salute said as much. "No matter what went down on that day, no matter how the whole situation went down, there has to be a change," said player Jared Cook, oblivious to the fact that his "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" pose depends entirely upon a specific, and false, interpretation of "how the whole situation went down." Now the media can set about expressing a bit of skepticism and trying to salvage its reputation - perhaps even scratching their heads and asking each other how it all went so very wrong, on those shows where we get to watch journalists talk among themselves - because its work is done. The mythology is more important than the facts. The eggs cannot be unscrambled. They can follow their Narrative downhill for a while, until it rolls to a stop, and they have to give it another push to get it moving again.
