The Murder Of Austin Metcalf: Reliable Media Outrage? Nope.

I was curious enough to do some googling.

All I can say is that reports are contradictory and anything but clear cut.

Maybe the MSM is waiting to do some, you know, actual digging - what we used to call investigative reporting - instead of posting the hot takes that dominate on Twitter and here?

This is exactly why America views you Democrats as clowns and your politicians have a 20% (give or take) approval rating with independents.

 

Every story, AND I MEAN EVERY STORY, that negatively impacts Republicans and Trump, you and the other leftist ret@rds jump right to conclusions and condemn the right, but if it’s stories against anyone or anything involving a leftist and/or an alleged black perpetrator, you’re all for a full investigation before making your conclusion.

 

Now, if the races were reversed, would you want a full investigation or would you take part in the riots that would automatically commence across the country and claim the white perpetrator as a white hate-filled racist black murderer who should get life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty?

 

Maybe I’m a little harsh on you and I apologize if I am (I’ll let others decide that), but you gotta admit MSM could care less about investigating this because it’s a black on white crime, but if it’s the other way around, holy hell, it’ll be a 24/7 news item for a week. And those are the facts of life when it comes to MSM. You know it, I know it and everyone on this board knows it.

Yes, Finding is absolutely right.  Investigative journalism must be at work here!

 

It also must be why the reliable media printed this fake story linked below to counter an already fully investigated and fully proven story ran by the oldest newspaper in the nation.  It also must be why Politico reliably still hasn't corrected their fake story to this day four plus years later.

 

Hooray for investigative journalism!

 

Finding pukes all over himself again.  Shocker.

Why start now?  I wonder...

[The Frankish Reich]

OK, hot take fiends. As best I can understand it, it was something like this:

 

- black kid sitting in opposing team's area at track meet

- white twin brothers try to displace him; verbally at first, appears to be at least somewhat aggressive talk

- black kid says something like you want me to move, come and move me; white kid approaches; scuffle ensues; at least some pushing and shoving, maybe a water bottle knocked down, maybe punches thrown

- black kid pulls out knife, stabs white kid in the chest; later asks cops arresting him "is he ok"

 

So you tell me. Clear cut here? Sounds kind of Trayvon Martin-ish. Black kid clearly brought gun to school grounds against rules, maybe against the law. May have provoked white bros by sitting in their team's section. White kids initial aggressors; some kind of altercation; knife pulled; senseless death.

 

What do I have wrong? Is this a slam-dunk murder prosecution? Was Trayvon? I say no to both questions.

Really ?? Using Metcalf's death to advance a racist agenda ??? If what I read of your reply is the way I understood it to be .

 

Nothing at all resembling the George Floyd thing though Right ? Which was EVERY WHERE on NATIONAL TV every night for weeks !! Did you happen to take the time to listen at all to what Jason Whitlock had to say on his pod cast, he nailed it .

 

Or by any chance what the father had to say in that video ? He has already forgiven this kid, but that's to forward a racist agenda ? Man you are whacked !!! You talk about shameful look in the mirror !!! 

 

And remember Floyds family was rewarded & got some $27. million on top of it . And remember when Pelosi pulled that BS kneeling in African dress with her constituents, no politicizing things there was there ? 

 

Now there's some modern day justice for you . 

 

I didn’t mean to upset you. I get it - calling out your friends is clearly painful. They’re free to politicize whatever they want, but the second they're called out for it using their own words, it’s like the world ends.

So you think that it's "self defense" to pull out a knife and stab someone in the chest after being pushed because you've been repeatedly told and allowed to leave someone else's tent?

 

See what happens when MAGA goes out of its way to defend people like Daniel Penny and Kyle Rittenhouse? The OP and their lackeys should take their own advice and wait until all the details are out.

Every case is different.

Daniel Penny: yes, I defended him

Rittenhouse: I thought it was unjustified in general, but under the law not a crazy verdict

Trayvon Martin shooter (forgot his name): same, under Florida law, probably justified

The only reason why I became upset was because of YOU trying to make it a racist thing by your statements and not seeing the truth of what someone like Jason Whitten said . If everything was treated equally and had no political influence like when Pelosi and those idiots tried doing their side show the world would be a much better place if.

 

But then they couldn't keep the in fighting going as a diversion to what they are pulling behind every ones backs .

Finding still waiting for investigative journalists..

There are many reasons why the liberal media won’t cover this extensively. And it’s taken a weird turn as progressives claim that Anthony was standing his ground.

 

It doesn’t seem like this was self-defense at all, and the arrest report paints more of a murder picture. Some disturbed person also set up a GoFundMe page for Anthony, which has since been deactivated. The fact that it was established in the first place is absurd.

Of course, this arrest report supports the theory that this was Rittenhouse-style "self-defense."

Honest question B-man. What media source do you recommend that is truly either center, or unbiased. I can google but even that can be biased. Twitter is Elon’s cesspool of an echo chamber (sorry, I know you guys love it, and that’s just my opinion) but truly looking for a non-nonsense, here are the FACTS of what is happening type of site. Any come to mind?

Sadly Steve I don’t believe that there is any such animal. 
 

CNBC probably comes the closest, but, as you would expect, NONE of the “mainstream” media are reliable. That is why I go to so many different sites to compare. 
 

My concern with the dismissive attitude towards X is that most of the posters here don’t realize that the tweets are being posted for their link to an actual article and not for whatever quip the person wrote on top.

Thank you. 
 

and maybe it’s my algorithm. But Twitter is literally a cesspool of hate every time I open it. 
 

I’ve tried apps that claim to provide only middle of the road, or more importantly only FACTS with data, and I’ve been underwhelmed.

Unbiased?

 

All the reliable ones that Finding likes. Politico is a favorite.

And if the MSM had initially reported that RIttenhouse had killed and injured 3 white dudes, you guys never would have given a *****.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. I think he did kill a white dude, right? Whatever ...
