SPIN, SPIN, SPIN.
IF I'M BEING HONEST, the truth is that the Media isn't fair. They have to make a buck. To paraphrase an old Paul Simon line, they're out to "capture" your dime.
You can't do that by being fair. It's easier to inflame and incite, which leads to that kneejerk "Gotta buy the paper" or, "gotta click THIS link HERE and HERE and HERE."
Aside from the usual "nigga unjustly beaten by white cop" stories, there was one about two Muslim teenagers who got the hummus beaten out of them.
The report in the Daily News calmly noted that a 37 year-old turned himself in, successfully sneaking into a back door of the police station to avoid being profiled as a racist thug.
What happened? According to THIS account, he discovered two curly-haired Muslim teenage assholes pestering his girlfriend. She was in a parked car, and they were smooching at her, jeering at her, being obnoxious, and trying to get into to the car.
This apparently had been going on for "half an hour," as she waited for her boyfriend to return and rescue her. He sure did, clocking both of the monkeys, and shouting "Terrorists!" and declaring that "MUSLIMS" were causing a lot of misery in the world. BANG BANG BANG.
Note the selective censorship on one of their faces. Was this done to protect the guy's identity, or to show the only real sign of violence on him, and that the rest of his face was unmarked?
Had it been an Italian fighting two other Italians, no problem, ayyyy! But it's interracial. So it was instantly declared some kind of hate crime. Except, the cops said they aren't bringing hate crime charges into it, because the guy shouted his racist remarks "in the heat of the moment."
Wow, a rare show of intelligence there. Put it this way, you can be pretty un-racist and still use the worst epithets when you're trying to protect your girlfriend. You might even use slurs against your own race, if the perps happen to be low-life versions of it. YOU are Italian, they are WOPS. That kind of thing.
Noticing that the photos were censored, and there was a Farcebook credit, I went to that Farcebook page, to see if the main guy who got beat up actually does look like Knickerless Payne.
Oh well. The picture was censored on THAT page too:
But...SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, did you notice something?
This FARCEBOOK page is all about how wonderful Muzzies are, and how much good they do for the community, and how pious they are. Just above the photos on this incident, there was a report on Muzzies peacefully praying with their asses up in the air, sticking their faces down to appease an utterly invisible friend.
Right, right, let's have some visual propaganda to support the notion that Muslims aren't religious fanatics that bear watching. They're normal people who just happen to bend over with their asses in the air to appease an invisible GOD.
Get the idea you could go through every post from this group and NEVER find one that shows Muzzies in a bad light? Well, that's human nature.
Their take on what happened? Why, these two fine, fine members of peaceful Islam were minding their own business when a berserk man (gee, we don't know if he's a big Nigga or a big Wop, just that he ain't Muslim) attacked them. For no reason except they believe in Allah, like every terrorist who is blowing up shit and killing people around the world.
Oh, let's pray for the poor boys, and urge that the cops designate this a hate crime.
Both Sides Now? Ever?
You've got the Daily News and a Farcebook group, each with a completely different side to offer. And nothing in between. Go to other places and you'll likely get similar distortion.
And so it goes into the night...
"...black is black, and white is white. Walk away both knowing they are right..."
