Media Bias

[Brian Peacock]

Oh? I guess that'll be submitted with all the evidence.

Did you see the video, released later, which showed the fuller context of the arrest?

Why do you think Floyd was having such trouble breathing, and asked to be laid on the ground? It surprises me how many regular media outlets didn't mention that in their coverage.

You don't think they fear a Kafka trap, do you?

Why are you trying to justify the killing of an unarmed citizen in police custody? Is it to perhaps suggest that people should not have been overly troubled or concerned by the event?

Particularly since he was black, so deserved rigorous attention from the authorities...

[Svartalf]

I just don't get it, Blacks are African folk that came without proper immigration papers, they should be sent back, not mistaken for big game.

I'm not trying to justify his death, just because I'm not willing to call it a killing before the court does.

Plus everyone involved is already fucked or dead. I'm most worried that any result will mean more rioting.

Perhaps for the emotional reaction it provokes?

[Cunt]

Geez, I got a warning for misrepresenting someone's views on here. Guess protections aren't for everyone, but that's, amusingly enough, how media bias presents itself in large part: uneven moderation.

I guess I'll just stop taking you seriously.

[Joe]

Or you could be less of a snowflake and read what I wrote. Here's an English tip for you.

Sentences starting with perhaps and ending with a "?" are questions, not statements of fact.

[Sean Hayden]

Act like an asshole; get called out; play the victim --rinse and repeat.

[Cunt]

I don't like the way you treat people who think differently.

You won't see things the same as me though, and perspective matters, so good job doing your part.

[Sean Hayden]

cunt: "I don't like the way you treat people who think differently."

Also cunt: I know it doesn't matter to you. It's unsurprising that your position agrees with that which would likely be found on 'The View'.

Cunt's response to a thoughtful attempt at discussion with him. His record is out there for all to see. Who do you think he thinks he's fooling?

[Hermit]

I'm not trying to justify his death, just because I'm not willing to call it a killing before the court does.

A noble attitude indeed. Pity you don't apply it to claims about the so called stolen election.

The rioting was a very small proportion of the unprecedented amount of concern expressed by the general public. Why are you defining that expression of public concern only in terms of rioting? Is it perhaps to suggest that the people who took to the streets had no legitimate reason to be there?

Just because I consider evidence, and examples of courts not reviewing evidence, doesn't mean I said it was stolen.

Pushing me into a polarized position is fun for you, I'm sure. I'm not there, but if you want to imagine me there, enjoy.

Getting back to the thread, Biden seems to be suffering media bias, as his videos don't get viewed often, or voted up often.

I think it's because Trump is the most popular president in history, if you consider popularity and not 'likes'. More people voted for, or against Trump, than voted for or against Biden.

Yes, Biden got way more votes, but he got them from people who hate Trump.

Most popular.

Protesters wanted Chauvin to face justice (if I imagine their actions as reasonable)

He was arrested.

Then they went after 'defund the police', and 'ACAB'.

I know what happened in Montreal in the 70's, when the cops stopped policing. Do you know how long it took for crime to spike? Any guesses?

There are plenty of your posts defending the view that the election was stolen, Daggles. Not just in words either. You used memes to the same effect.
