B-Man Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 TODAY’S MEDIA PUZZLER: When isn’t it racist for a protester in gorilla mask to throw eggs at black candidate? Answer: When the black candidate is a Republican, and the protester is a progressive. Had the affiliations been the other way around in this encounter caught on video, the media would have feasted on it for weeks, and reporters would have demanded answers for it from every GOP candidate for office. However, since it happened to my friend and Salem Radio colleague Larry Elder while walking through progressive Los Angeles, the media instead reported it as a “hostile confrontation.” Watch the video and judge for yourselves. The egg attack comes from the right side of the screen: * * * * * * * * Now imagine if this had happened to a black Democrat touring a suburban district or the Central Valley. Would ABC and the LA Times retreat to passive voice in that instance? Would the New York Times bury it in the 14th paragraph of an election round-up? Nonsense. It would be headline news in every national news outlet, and people would be screaming at prosecutors to charge the woman with a hate crime. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillStime Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Media Bias Chart 8.0 is here! For the first time, we have web, TV, and podcast sources all appearing on the same chart. Looking for a source? We have over 1,000 of them rated, and you can find them on the Interactive MBC at: https://www.adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/ A few things to remember about the Media Bias Chart in general: 1) There are more sources on the Interactive version! Go look there! “2) Middle” doesn’t mean best. It just means middle. More on that concept at https://www.adfontesmedia.com/intro-to-the-media-bias-chart/ 3) To arrive at these ratings, we have teams of trained analysts that are balanced with right, left, and center political views. They apply a content analysis methodology to rate numerous factors of reliability and bias. See our methodology and white paper here. https://www.adfontesmedia.com/how-ad-fontes-ranks-news-sources/ 4) No one agrees with all the placements on the Media Bias Chart because it doesn’t reflect any one person’s opinion and personal sample. It reflects the composite judgment of multiple diverse, trained analysts over a 20,000-article and episode sample.

I will state that must be specialized training to prove that 1.75 is more than 1.9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Look at this drivel from the WAPO. U.S. will require most new immigrants to get coronavirus vaccine Quote The measure goes into effect on Oct. 1. Most people applying to become a permanent resident in the United States are required to receive the immigration medical examination “to show they are free from any conditions that would render them inadmissible under the health-related grounds,” according to USCIS. Oh, BTW, the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants streaming across the southern border every month are all applying for asylum status... and one cannot apply for permanent residency until one year after the asylum request has been granted. What pure garbage this paper has become, such a shame as a now 36 year subscriber. BTW, the reporter is bylined on almost every Covid related story as it affects the US...and is based in Seoul...yes, Seoul..now that is some boots on the ground, sourced based reporting! https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/09/15/us-immigrants-coronavirus-vaccine/ Quote The United States will require new immigrants to be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus as part of its routine medical examination, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced on Tuesday. The measure goes into effect on Oct. 1. Most people applying to become a permanent resident in the United States are required to receive the immigration medical examination “to show they are free from any conditions that would render them inadmissible under the health-related grounds,” according to USCIS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Buffalo Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/09/13/1036593269/coronavirus-alabama-43-icus-at-capacity-ray-demonia The headline is factually incorrect. The reason the guy had to go out of the area is he needed a high level heart support hospital, Covid is unrelated to his needing to leave area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 "In the last 15 years, less than 0.01% of print features and critical pieces [in The New Yorker] were edited by a Black editor." "More women were able to publish profiles in the magazine between 1925 and 1935 than between 1990 and 2000. And over the last 30 years, spanning 1990 to 2020, zero reviews of cinema, the fine arts, or classical music were published by either women or writers of color.... Erin Overbey, the magazine's own archive editor [tweeted]: "Let's talk about racism! Most white people at prestigious magazines don't ever want to talk about race or diversity at all. Why? It's primarily because they've been allowed to exist in a world where their mastheads resemble member registries at Southern country clubs circa 1950." From "A 'New Yorker' Editor Dug For Diversity Stats. She Calls The Results 'Passive Racism'" (NPR). https://www.npr.org/2021/09/15/1037323602/new-yorker-lack-of-diversity-magazine-bylines This strikes me as very odd. I subscribe to The New Yorker and read it all the time, and I had the impression that the magazine was going out of its way to bring in black writers and women writers.
