Media Bias

[Brian Peacock]

Did I hurt your feelings with an interrogative?

Did I hurt your feelings with an interrogative?

Nope. Just demonstrated some of your values.

[Brian Peacock]

You do like to steer the conversation on to me don't you? I'm flattered, of course, but I'm afraid I'm not your type. It's me, not you.

The virus is real. So is the media panic over the virus.

The racism is real. So is the media panic over the racism.

If you want to see what media bias looks like, you would have to find someone who had been targeted by a biased media, and look through their story with a sympathetic ear.

Tough to do with an effective media smear against them.

I think media bias is a thing. I just don't think that it's the kind of thing you think it is.

Aren't you the guy who hurled the racist term at me, calling my 'white'?

Makes it tough to take you very seriously.

Could have been worse. Just imagine how much tougher it would have been for you to take Brian Peacock seriously, had he hurled the sexist term at you, calling you male!

Especially in a biased media environment which supports the new gender-identity politics...

You make it really tough to take you seriously when you keep hurling the elitist term at me, calling me clever.

What part of this is media bias?

[Cunt]

It claims hateful comments without showing any of them. I guess we are just supposed to believe the author/publisher.

Sure be easier if they included evidence, but it wouldn't surprise me if this were linked by a lot of folks later, who wanted to show how racist the linkedin crowd were.

Sometimes, it's turtles all the way down.

And sometimes it isn't.

Well, it did give two quotes that I figure is what people are complaining about. That's why I asked.

"As a non-minority, all this talk makes me feel like I am supposed to feel guilty of my skin color. I feel like I should let someone less qualified fill my position," one anonymous staffer commented, per the Daily Beast. "I believe giving any racial group privilege over others in a zero sum game would not get any support by others. Any thoughts on hurting others while giving privileges with the rosy name called diversity?" another reportedly said.

It just looked like BI reported the story pretty straight, though the photo they used of Roslansky wasn't the most flattering.

I did see those quotes, but didn't see anything hateful. Being a person of mixed race, I think it would be easy to find, but I can't.

Where is the 'hate'?

Where is the 'hate'?

In the eye of the beholder as always, and those people are quoted too.

But that's not the question. We're discussing media bias, and I don't see any in this story.

Where is the reporting biased?

Where is the reporting biased?

Calling normal questions 'hateful', which will be referenced by other reporters as 'evidence of hate'...

With no 'hate' to be found, except as you say, in the eye of the beholder.

Now, what if you multiply this story by thousands? Will it start looking like a media bias in favour of promoting racism protests? During a pandemic?

It's almost like they are deliberately trying to infect poor communities, while staying safe in their mansions...
