As explained by others here -- and is truly freakin' obvious -- a murder by one civilian of another is not the same as police killing of a suspect. Just not even remotely invoking the same societal issues.

By your standard, the media should not report the death of George Floyd unless they also give equal coverage to every one of the 50 other murders in the country each day. Its just such a ridiculous standard and comparison that it is painful to have to explain this to anyone.

Are you seriously going with the cold blooded execution of a 5 year old isn’t newsworthy?

So if I white man walked up and point blank shot a black child there would be no mainstream media coverage?

Does MSNBC or CNN really need to report on all 50 murders today?

Fox does it because it appeals to its base viewer -- black man bad, killed innocent white boy.

There is just no way that the people on this issue and itt can possibly be so stupid as not to understand what is going on here.

NYT, WaPo, NBC, CBS, ABC?

I could only find one story on fox news. It's obvious its being blown out of proportion by the Far Right Media more than it's something that should be talked about 24/7 by legitimate media.

So your reaction to this story is to think that this incident shouldn't be used as an excuse to paint black people, particularly black men, as racist killers. That's correct and a totally fair reaction.

However, I doubt your first reaction to George Floyd's death was "This shouldn't be used as an excuse to paint cops, particularly white cops, as racist killers."

Everybody, regardless of ideology, interprets events through their ideological prism. Magnify stuff that fits your narrative, ignore/downplay stuff that doesn't. It seems like very few people, particularly on the internet/social media, are interested in looking at things from a balanced perspective, or looking at things in context.

As well as no one on here is promoting the collective racial guilt spiel, that we've heard ad nauseum from our friends in the media for the last 2 months

...and progressive media's coverage of George Floyd, or Trayvon Martin, or other incidents appeals to their base viewer. Those stories fit the way they see the world. Both sides magnify what fits their narrative, ignore or downplay what doesn't, and reap the rewards from that (higher ratings and money from advertising).

It's so liberating when you don't feel like there's a "side" you have to defend. For the most part, each side's critiques of the other are pretty valid.

This seems like an excuse to paint black people, and more particularly black men, as racist killers.

The comparison of that to a white police officer killing a black suspect, and then framing it as just about media coverage of the two, is camouflage. But hey, that's what Trump and his folks do best. Come up with ways to be racist, but give a false innocent cover story to it, all the while with a silent nod to each other of they know what they really mean. Trump's tweet yesterday about Biden/Harris allowing an "invasion" of suburbia another example of that.

Got it.

Murdering 5 year old kids isn’t newsworthy unless it fits the narrative.

Stories only achieve "escape velocity" if they fit the narrative.

George Floyd fit the narrative, so it achieved escape velocity from local news and went global. Tony Timpa did not, so it was only covered by Dallas local news. Both were newsworthy in a way, but national media deemed Floyd's death as more newsworthy because a racial angle could be inserted into the coverage.

Here is a question for you, What makes this story "political"? What the F do you want to do about it besides screech? Maybe you have some sort of solution to senseless violence. Doubt it but please continue screeching.

What made the Trayvon Martin story political? Or Ahmaud Arbery? Neither of them were killed by cops.

There's nothing political about this story, and right-wing media would certainly like to create a counter-narrative with this story for political purposes. However, don't you have to admit that if the races were reversed, the whole country would know and be talking about this story? Regardless of what you think about media coverage, that point does seem kind of hard to refute.

Trayvon was just another dead guy (wasn’t even murder). And the guy who was shot in the neighborhood in Georgia was just another murder.

Bubba’s garage pull was just another piece of trash on a shop floor but it got coverage for weeks.

This was a particularly senseless egregious murder of a child. Were it a white man who did this to a black child i guaran-damn-tee you it would be on the news constantly. They would have already found out if he said something mean on the fourth grade.

We already know the answer to these questions.

The MSM will continue pushing the edge of the envelope further and further until they've become the mouthpiece for the left, while calling any and all that disagree, traitors to their cause and openly calling for street justice against evangelicals and other conservatives....oh wait. We're already there.

They are the lefts propaganda machine. Thank God that no one watches them.

I'm done with this current iteration of the United States. We don't stand for anything anymore. Every country has it's warts depending on the era but we have completely lost our way. Most of our government is more interested in pandering to thugs on the streets than defending the lives of the innocent. Our current country isn't worth the blood that was spent on it by previous generations

When you've become a Godless society, this tends to happen.
