Can you point out anyone that has suggested that consequences for bad actions be exclusively enforced on white males? Has anyone at all said that all other genders and races should be exempt from consequences? Smells a lot like straw all of a sudden…
How much blame do you think each of the three parties should share?
The lame stream media is the lame stream media. The lame stream media’s coverage, and handling, of this world-shaking-mega story only serves to undermine the credibility of the lame stream media.
Without verify the story, without doing any more research than reading internet rumors/claims/horseshit, without any attempt to provide unbiased, actual news, many in the lame stream media jumped at the chance to bolster their ratings, increase advertising dollars, and/or advance their own careers, by attacking a teenager whos only crime was standing, and not moving or talking, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Shame on the lame stream media, and on those who advocate for their biased reporting, and commentary.
“Lame stream media”-five times in one post.
:rolleyes:
The social justice mob seems to be in full-scale retreat on this:
Only? He must be slipping.
Anything to say about media manipulation from the other side?
No, which is why I have not claimed anyone has. A poster mentioned “that’s too bad” that the white males involved in the incident probably won’t “get any real backlash from it at all”. He was silent on what fate he’d prefer for the other parties involved, which is why I asked.
From what I can gather the other two parties deserve a majority of the blame.
People on the bottom of the victim hierarchy are smart to get any help they can when confronting hostile media.
Uh, this sounds like you’re saying white people need more help in telling their story to America? Please correct me if I’m reading that wrong.
There’s nothing wrong with admitting error. I wish President Trump and his supporters would show more humility in the face of facts.
Asking this again: Did you happen to notice any propaganda from the other side of the fence?
And what the fuck is this “People on the bottom of the victim hierarchy” nonsense? Those students in the MAGA hats from the private school that got bused in to harass women, got a right-wing publicity hack with ties to a powerful Republican congresscritter, and have been invited to the White House to be praised by the President are victims?
You do know what a “victim” is, don’t you?
From their POV, they didn’t get anything wrong. Some of the kids were wearing MAGA hats, and they were at an anti-abortion rally. Therefore, they were wrong, they were doing wrong, and whatever happened, it was their fault.
It is something like the Duke lacrosse case, or the Bush National Guard memos, or many of the hate crime hoaxes. It almost doesn’t matter whether the actual facts are correct or not - what matters is the larger narrative.
Ms. Magnum lied. That doesn’t matter, as much as the narrative that black women are treated like whores. The memos were faked. That doesn’t matter as much as Bush should never have become President. Etc.
Whatever bad happened to the kids, they deserved it. Including being lied about in the media.
Four legs good, two legs bad. What difference does it make if it’s three legs, six legs, or no legs?

And Mexico is going to pay for that wall :rolleyes:
Perhaps you prefer pronouns? I’ll add your concern to my list of things that I may get around to eventually considering. Somewhere near the top, I think.
Your narrative has no legs.
No legs bad in this case.
No, you’re pretty much reading it right. I believe there are certainly times when some “white people need more help in telling their story to America”. For example, the Duke lacrosse team benefited significantly by seeking savvy assistance in the face of hostile media (and government agents).
Agreed, although just deleting tweets is about the most cowardly non-admission way of “admitting error” I can imagine.
Thank you for saying something I’ve been hesitant to say myself, because I agree. It’s NOT a worldwide, multi-day story.
I don’t have a specific example in mind at the moment, but I don’t doubt there is propaganda to be found on both sides of this issue.
Yes, and rather unsympathetic ones (as you’ve noted), which is why I described them as “on the bottom of the victim hierarchy”.
Pray, tell us which groups you think are at the top of this “victim hierarchy”.
