Journalism is Dead

[paulxu]

In what way? There actually have been two killings by Leftists in the last 10 days- one of them was of a journalist in Las Vegas by an elected Democratic official.
Where is Jim Acosta crying that “Journalists will die” after Biden has a prime time speech calling half the country threats and radicals?
The only people who have died have been Republicans at the hands of Democrats. Let’s not even talk about Dave Chappelle being attacked on stage.
Sit this one out Paul.

I'm a supporting member and will probably post where I feel like it.
No one, least of all me, is supporting the murder of the journalist in Las Vegas.
I suspect his death had to do with investigating the guy who killed him, and not that the guy was a Republican or Democrat.
I'm much more worried about our political leaders, nationally, demonizing the press.
As this article notes:

American journalists are also navigating an increased politicization of their work. Former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party have made attacks on news media central to their politics since 2016.

There's ample evidence here on our on pages at Xavierhoops, that people have bought into that narrative of demonizing the press.

ok because the ny times didn't pick up the story. Those other "political violence" stories...were they republicans murdering democrats?

No Democrat has been murdered by a Republican. But let’s’ never forget Steve Scalise and other Repubs who were *almost murdered practicing for a softball game by a radical democrat and Rand Paul and his wife who were attacked by a liberal mob.
How many examples do you need?

There goes Paul, “Suspecting” again.
The Democrat office holder stabbed a Journalist to death because the Journalist was doing his job- reporting on the officeholder which contributed to the officeholder’s loss. Sure seems like Political violence vs the media to me. Pray tell, how many Republicans have stabbed or shot reporters, Paul?
Stop “suspecting” and assuming.

It would be interesting to have a link to something that claimed (let alone proved) that the guy was a "democratic socialist." I didn't see a link.

One NY Post story says this:

The first NY Post story says this:

https://nypost.com/2022/09/22/man-ac...ears-in-court/

Need some editors there.

Again, nice selectivity Paul. Tell the whole story.
Brandt claimed the teen was a “Right wing Republican extremist” and had had a “Political Fight” with him. The teen was nothing of the sort and tried to get away, but Brandt hunted him down. That means Brandt was a Democrat and incited by Joe Biden’s speech about the Right endangering the country. That Brandt hunted the teen down and claimed he was a Republican extremist is in the court document filing.
To the point. Why has The NY Times and Washington Post avoided covering this story? Because it looks really bad for their side narrative.

When a free press is bastardized where it becomes propaganda for unbalanced coverage, and stories that are important in the news, but are ignored or surpressed because they make the outlet’s favorite side look really bad (See Hunter Biden Laptop) then the media becomes nothing more than Pravda.
I also recall the New York Times reporter walking through Portland in the summer of 2020 reporting “I see no evidence of rioting here!” (That very night and for 100 days there were riots)
*Some of us prefer balanced coverage and full accounting.
It seems that you are just content to eat the disingenuous trash that you are fed from your preferred biased outlets. That explains your blue brained only lunacy.
I pity you. You should move to California to be among your peers.

So because the times doesn’t pick up a murder ( there are 46 murders a day in the us) you get your panties in a bunch? Frankly, I think it’s weird that cnn, wash post etc picked up the story or anyone outside of local news In north dakota

Did you forget about 150 police officers injured by trump supporters?

Link to verify your statement?
Many pages ago I posted an article by Glenn Greenwald debunking many myths as to that incident.
By the way. How about 277 authorities injured in the Portland riots in 2020 by leftists?

Rest assured that it would be front page news if the roles were reversed. Front page news for a week if the perpetrator was a Repub vs a Dem. And considering that this only happened days after Biden had a speech condemning the “Rightist Extremists” this seems pretty relevant for a major newspaper to pick up the story and decry it.
Hence the point that Journalism is dead
