What do you want here? For the grieving family of the little girl who was killed to come out publicly and say "listen guys, we think it was a white guy in a red pickup but let's just take a few days, calm down, think rationally, explore all alternatives before we put statements in the media?

P.S. anyone who goes on witch hunts when this shit happens, whether it's Shaun King, Reddit, etc. whomever and starts asking the public to gather more info on potential suspects can eat a shit sandwich. People's lives get ruined over that shit.

Good post!


I found this but pretty sure Chico will dismiss it.

lol...this isn't new news. LOL the NYT is simply making excuses because the boogeyman didn't exist.

False accusations that are weaponize politically is dangerous. They created a racist narrative to push a political agenda. You think this somehow ok?

Look at the facts, if live in Houston and your a minority, what's most likely to kill you? What's the biggest threat to your life? Its not the boogeyman that Lee Merritt, Congress Woman Shelia Jackson, Shaun King made it out to be this last week...this is a false narrative that continues to be weaponized to splinter this country. You are fueling hate based on racist accusations which are untrue.

Look at the facts in the Houston and crime demographics, there you will find the answer. No, actually turn a blind eye, that's what liberals have done in Chicago, New Orleans, Baltimore, Cleveland, Chicago, etc.

I was correct.

linking a murder, with a gun, to gun control is wrong?

Chico man. Your hatred towards the left and your obliviousness towards the right is amazing. Especially when everything you hate about the left is EXACTLY what the right does on a minute to minute basis. I suggest you go outside, take a cold shower, come back inside, and take a fresh look at what is actually happening in this country.

This isn't about right or left...Ive been critical of the bias coverage of Fox News which I think their slant is dishonest. Just as I would of MSNBC.

But one thing I have accepted is Fox and MSNBC will continue to serve their bubble. Fine. What I don't think is fine is how biased presentation/information has now seeped into mainstream media organizations where center should be what we expect. Lay out the facts and let the viewer decide. Opinion Editorials are fine as back page filler, labeled properly, etc. but what we see is editorials presented a factual news...which it is not. It starts there and goes all the way up to Fake News. This isn't only the nightly news, this is news shows and morning news shows. If your gonna talk issues, present facts...if your gonna talk about the issues, then coverage should be fair.

If you look at Fox news and can identify issues you have problems with...whether is language choice, editorial opinions past as factual news, not presenting all relative facts, limited context, not presenting all sides arguments, misleading stats, negative slant, etc....which Im sure you could easily do. By taking the same scope...do it for MSNBC coverage...it might be tougher for you, but I sure you could.

We live in an age of information overload...I think its important to be able to discern what we see and hear. Now when it comes to politicians...bullshit reigns right?

Chico you can and people do do it. You just don't give people credit for it. Your bias shows in your statment you say you can see it at FOX but MSNBC might be tougher,BS,MSNBC is more balanced in my opinion but that is the point people will watch what they want to watch? Chico none of this is new,MSM has been like this since corporations made their news departments show a profit, now they must play to their audience and their sponsors FOX chose a side as does CNN. Here is an idea............stop watching them .

I was talking to Punch directly...meaning if he leans left it may be harder to spot on MSNBC if your unwilling to be objective. I gotta spell it out for G1.

Why are you so mad?

This is an example of the garbage fake news rhetoric about the Jazmine Barnes:

Look at this racist trash accusing the police to be white supremacists:

You are correct, Chico. That article is garbage. It's one thing to say racists have infiltrated police forces, which according to the FBI is a real thing, it's another thing to say police forces are inherently racist.

The difference is I ignore it, you point it out, which drives clicks. What is your point? Every base has extremism, from (imo) Fox News, Breitbart, to (in your opinion) The Root, to extremist Christians, Muslims, etc. there will always be a small minority of people that live their life in that extremist way.

Does it suck these extremists have a voice? Yes, in much of the same way Breitbart has a voice and is allowed to pollute people's minds with their garbage.

But you ain't gonna solve it by trying to point it out to us. How many of us do you think read The Root?

I am quite capable of deciphering the truth for myself. Imo Fox is such fake news it is criminal. Literally criminal. They should be indicted for aiding and abetting. They spin such racist rhetoric it is mind numbing.
MSNBC is obviously not the gospel by any means but they are much more honest than Fox. I can show you countless examples of them berating Obama for things and championing Trump for the exact same things. They ignore absolutely everything that isn’t part of their agenda, and than harp on one isolated incident to push their agenda. MSNBC is not nearly as one sided, and 90% of the people that say they are do it because the Orange guy calls them fake news. It is the same tactic Nixon used, or Hitler for that matter once they realized their dirty little secrets were bubbling to the surface. Trump knows the truth is going to come out eventually- hell it has been coming out for months and months - unless of course it is just coincidence that everyone he has surrounded himself with the last several years has these weird connections to Mother Russia. Imo CNN and MSNBC are simply calling it like they see it - and history will prove them to be right. Very soon. Fox is literally working for the Whitehouse. Terrorists pouring in over the southern border. Drugs in the “caravan”. Lol. Pull troops out of Syria and let Russia and Iran have their way - and send troops to keep the brown people... i mean the rapist terrorist drug dealers out. LMAO. Racist trash. And MSNBC and CNN constantly bash Obama for pulling out of Iraq too early. Meanwhile Fox has no issues with Syria - just when Obama pulled out of Iraq. You are right forget about right vs left. It is truth vs lies. At the end of the day someone actually does have to be telling the truth - though along the way it just feels like two different spins. History will show who was lying. It already is if you pay attention and connect the dots.

Speaking of agendas let's look at this Business Insider article that MSN picked up and stuck on their page:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/taxe...x2f?li=BBnb7Kz

The first paragraph (which analysts say is the 2nd most read part of the article after the headline, which most people read without even clicking the article nowadays:

Originally Posted by Business Insider

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has touted a plan that would tax multimillionaire Americans 60-70% to fund massive energy and infrastructure overhauls related to a plan that aims to reduce the country's carbon emissions to zero and eliminate fossil fuels in 10 years.

This sentence conveniently leaves out the fact that her plan is based on a marginal tax rate, which means anything under 10 million wouldn't be taxed at 70% and only profits above 10 million would hit that tax rate. So if you make more than 10 million in a given year that first 10 million isn't taxed at 70 percent. Anything above it is. That's a major difference then people believing if you made 10 million it would be taxed at 70%.

Now granted, the 2nd paragraph focuses on that detail, but in an age where readers barely skim headlines I believe that makes a big impact.

Hell, if you read the whole article you will see if she did that it wouldn't even be the first time in American history that would be done. Eisenhower had it at 90% in the 50's, JFK/LBJ at 70% through the 70's, and Reagan dropped it to 50% in the early 80's before it bottomed out near its' current rate of 39.6% in 1986. Imagine a world where corporations might be allowed to move all of their profits offshore to horde wealth, but the owners of those companies couldn't.

I can't wait to hear why you think the gov't should leave their hands out of these innocent multi-millionaire's pockets Chico. Because the current system is soooooo effective.

It’s socialism and a garbage ass plan. I hope to god you don’t honestly believe this is viable and numbers work out? Jesus Christ

SEC media bias getting served a bowl of dicks tonight. Big ones.

Again you do not have to agree with the stance of either Fox or MSNBC, but Fox is spewing hate, rhetoric, and fear mongering. That is not only wrong but dangerous. MSNBC is not doing this.
