While you again demonstrate your questionable character with yet another personal attack. A true sign of one who is grasping as straws in defense of a sacred cow.
Try? No, I’ll do it.
Unfortunately, the general public usually does not find out about crimes such as the Wichita Horror. They are reported only in local papers, and often with the most horrifying details edited out. When it first occurred, only the Wichita Eagle paid attention to the alleged crimes of the Carr brothers. Our webzine, FrontPageMagazine.com discovered the story about a month later and published it on the Internet, whereupon it rapidly became a cause celebre – but only on the Internet and in conservative papers such as The Washington Times. You will not see Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather or Peter Jennings talking about this crime.

The reason such crimes are covered up probably has a lot to do with race. As previously mentioned, news organizations routinely ignore most crimes that occur within minority communities. Any newspaper or TV station that tried to report every black-on-black murder, in all its gory details, would be accused of “racism.” They would be charged with presenting minorities in a negative light.
Covering interracial crimes – crimes between people of different races – can also be politically risky for journalists. In approximately 90 percent of all interracial attacks, white people are the victims and black people the perpetrators. If these crimes were all given equal weight in the press, once again, journalists would be accused of “racism” for portraying African Americans as the villains in so many cases.
The safest sort of crime story for a journalist nowadays – and the type of story most likely to win him praise or awards – deals with a relatively rare sort of crime, one in which a white person attacks a black person (or some other protected “minority”), as in the beating death of gay student Matthew Shepard or the dragging death of James Byrd, a black man killed by white bigots in Texas.
Focusing on “hate crimes” committed by white people might be good for a journalist’s career. But it gives the public a very inaccurate view of what is actually happening on the street. We journalists are often accused of focusing on bad news. But, in some ways, the news we present is not as bad as it needs to be. Sometimes people need to hear the worst, in order to wake up to real dangers. Many of the “racially sensitive” crime stories that journalists censor happen to be exactly the sort of stories that people of all races need to hear, in order to be aware of the dangers inherent in “active compliance.”http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=3712
And what is the purpose in this?
These numbers go way beyond picking victims at random and is diametrically opposed to media’s, especially the entertainment media, presentation. And there is a purpose behind this. In case you haven’t figured it out by now, it’s purpose is political and was best exemplefied by President Clinton amidst the “church burning” hysteria. See, Clinton didn’t just lie about sex, he lied about church burnings as well. If you remember, Clinton described, teary eyed and choked-up, about childhood rememberences of the persecution of blacks and the burning of their churches. But, upon investigation, just as in the recent burnings, there had been no racially motivated burning of black churches. This, like the portrayal of interracial crime and the overrepresentation of whites persecuting blacks by the media, is a political tool designed to keep minorities down on the Democratic plantation by associating racism with whites, conservatives and the Republican party.
Now, I’ll just give you the last word, being that it will be nothing more than another of your shallow, pathetic personal attacks that give all that view this thread a glimpse into both your integrity and intellectual capacity.
Thank you for that.

I said i was leaving this thread some time ago, and yet i was sucked back in.
I guess that i shouldn’t be too hard on Razorsharp . Plenty of people like to feel as if they are somehow part of an oppressed and downtrodden group, and i guess that his delusions about media conspiracies serve some sort of cathartic purpose.
