Conclusion of BYU’s investigation into alleged racial slur will NOT be picked up by media as fast as the original accusation (if at all) Toward the end of last month the media was ablaze with a story about how a person in the stands at a volleyball game between Duke and Brigham Young University shouted a racial slur at a Duke player. The alleged shouted slur of course was passed along breathlessly by non-skeptical media outlets including “Good Morning America,” MSNBC, USA Today, and CNN. Campus police investigated and it soon became clear that the alleged incident never happened. Today BYU announced the results of the university’s full investigation, and came to the same conclusion: https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2022/09/09/shocker-conclusion-of-byus-investigation-into-alleged-racial-slur-will-not-be-picked-up-by-media-as-fast-as-the-original-accusation-if-at-all/ . Of course it won't get the attention of the media and frankly I don't give a flip. However kudos to BYU for doing the extensive research into the incident and offering up the results of their investigation.

Google "BYU" and filter on "News" and you'll see the story is being carried by Fox, CNN, Yahoo, ESPN, WaPo, MSN, SI....

Yay! 🙄 Like I said I don’t give a flip. Now for the apology to the student banned for what it seems was no apparent reason. Guilty until proven innocent rears its ugly head again.

Of course I don't believe the media identified that person so if anyone owes them an apology it would be BYU for jumping the gun (although the media had a gun to their head). But for someone who doesn't give a flip, you sure seem to care enough to chat about it.

And I meant the school owes the student an apology. Again i don't care about the media so I also don't care about them issuing an apology or not.

But absent the media coverage, the fake racism is effectively a non-issue. It's precisely the coverage of this nonsense that makes it seep into the public conscious and sows division. The problem exists because of the coverage, so if you care about the problem you should care about the cause.

B-Man Posted Thursday at 06:49 PM Posted Thursday at 06:49 PM THE LEFT’S DEMAND FOR HATE IN AMERICA VASTLY EXCEEDS THE SUPPLY: Racist messages found on Tennessee college campus were ‘fabricated,’ school says. A Tennessee college revealed that racist messages found written on campus were fabricated by a student in an apparent attempt to make Donald Trump supporters look bad. Rhodes College confirmed to Fox News Digital that a student had admitted to leaving the messages strewn about campus that were found over Thanksgiving break and were being investigated as a hate crime. Instead, it turned out to be yet another race hoax. “Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Campus Safety officers and the Memphis Police Department, the investigation into the hate crime that occurred recently on our campus has ended with the identification of the perpetrator and the conclusion this incident was fabricated. This individual has admitted responsibility,” the statement read. https://www.foxnews.com/media/racist-messages-found-tennessee-college-campus-fabricated-school-says?intcmp=tw_fnc 1
