ajax, could you clarify what you mean by “ignoring”? Are you referring specifically to a lack of penalty being applied to the black kid, or the lack of widely broadcasting the incident as a means to serve a different agenda?


I think news outlets choose which stories to report based on the agenda they want to drive and whether the incidents support their world view. If the races were reversed, the mainstream media would be firing up ANTIFA and there would be cities being burned down in retaliation.

Why do you think that didn’t happen with the Smollet situation? Seems like plenty of time had passed before discovering that he had made up his story, to have allowed for some serious city-burning riots to begin, under your scenario.

This is true of every media outlet you seem to prefer, with a healthy dose of deception on top of it, so it makes a kind of twisted sense that you'd project this mentality onto all of journalism.

We average more than a dozen hate crimes a day in America. If your prediction was correct, why aren't cities already burned to the ground?

I guess you have to speak to your viewers if you want better ratings. Imagine where media matters ratings would go if they gave me a weekly column.

So now it is alleged that media of opinion controlled by Rupert Murdoch, such as Fox News, decide what they will put on air solely based on the aim of attracting the largest possible audience so as to maximise revenue?

Murdoch's political and social preferences are never a deciding factor in policy? He never uses his huge financial muscle to try to influence the public he addresses?

You do realize you're making basically the same argument people make about the media and how it's controlled by Jews?

Wait. Did you put this one together, Chap?

You're frankly beyond parody. To say that Jews, as an ethno-religious group, are all involved in huge conspiracies to control the world is certainly anti-semitism. (It's also frankly bat-dung crazy).

To say that a given individual, irrespective of ethnic or religious identity, in this case Rupert Murdoch, uses his undoubtedly real media empire to influence public opinion is to express a view that may be either true or false. It has nothing to do with racial hatred of any kind.

(I checked with my wife, who is Jewish, whether I could make this post, and after making a few phone calls she said that Jewish Conspiracy Central thought that this kind of message from a 'useful Goy idiot' like me could only further their campaign for world domination.)

Poll: Liberal Democrats Least Sympathetic Towards Israel


TEL AVIV – Support for Israel among the American public is at the lowest it has been in a decade, liberal Democrats the least sympathetic towards Israel, a poll released Wednesday by Gallup showed.
Republican support declined by 13% from last year, from 87% to 76%, a surprising drop considering the strong ties between Israel and the Trump administration.
Democratic support dropped by 6% from 49% to 43%. Liberal Democrats were ranked as the least sympathetic towards Israel.

It amazes me how many Jews are still liberal Democrats, especially after the Obama administration came under the control of Valerie Jarret and the rise of Ilhan.

Being Jewish doesn’t require you to like the policies of the Israeli government.

Because they know that Trumpers lean Nazi? :rolleyes:

The "rise of Ilhan"...what is she supposed to be, Sauron? :lol: Whiny little white boys, clutch your guns! Such a scary time for white supremacists!

Some of us can separate Judaism from Israel. Some of us can even separate progressive realistic Judaism from crazy superstitious Judaism. It's a complicated world, but not for frightened white boys. :razz:
