Fox is showing live coverage of Chicago hate crime while CNN is covering Russian hacking and bashing Trump.

Thoughts?
 
If the victim of the hate crime was another of Obama's sons, they wouldn't go off the story for at least 24 hours. Van Jones would be talking about the racist whites who just elected Trump in their "whitelash" or "blacklash" whatever he called it.
 
Both stories are about haters.
 
Yeah.

The interference in our election by a foreign power who was our chief rival for decades does indeed take precedence over the kidnapping/torture of a single individual who was released by his captors.
I think y'all need to step back and gain some perspective.

This is a silly thread.

You mean like when CNN had wall to wall coverage when Trayvon Martin was killed? Or when Michael Brown was killed?

The hacking story is weeks old re-hashing and in hiatus for even a few more days until the intelligence is released but please try to diminish or evade hate crime that IS HAPPENING LIVE if you want.

:roll:

Fox cut away and is back on the hacking...

Cut out the drama queen stuff.

This isn't a hate crime that "IS HAPPENING LIVE". The victim was abducted last saturday night.
This is a terrible thing that a few individuals did. A kid was beat and tied up and then released.
It's not international news, like Russian meddling with the American election.

It's a BS equivalency and a senseless thread.

Who was killed in this incident?

Can you guys cool it with the false equivalency? It just looks foolish.

The news conference with the Chicago Police Commander was happening live as I posted this thread. Boy... dont you sound ignorant now. Lol.

You're right sorry, this is much worse. A mentally disabled person was tortured, while Trayvon and Michael were justifiably killed according to the justice system.

No. As I said, your post and this thread are simply foolish.

What you said was that there was a "hate crime that IS HAPPENING LIVE"
and that "Fox is showing live coverage of Chicago hate crime".

These are clearly hyperventilating lies.

Now you just sound ridiculous. The coverage was of the hate crime being charged as a hate crime but maybe a person being kidnapped and tortured doesnt bother in certain circumstances? *shrugs*

It bothers me no matter what and deserves a few minutes of live coverage.
 
Sure, one reports news while the other promotes outrage.

CNN is constantly outraged... I agree. Fox is not much better. But...

Was Trayvon or M. Smith news, in your opinion?

Do you even understand what "live coverage" of a hate crime entails?

It wasnt live coverage of a hate crime but specifically live coverage of a news conference of the Chicago police Commander speaking about charges in the hate crime from that just recently happene.. Keep digging your hole. This is funny.:lol:

Why you are trying to weasel this about is beyond me. :lol:

You should just feel flattered that anyone has responded to this ridiculously overwrought thread.;)

It is about bias. It still hasnt been on CNN TV.
 
There are plenty of videos documenting coverage of this incident on CNN. Do you have access to Google?

Dude. I have been watching CNN (TV News) all morning and they are just now finally covering it... but after they covered New Years Eve sexual assault... IN INDIA! Hate crime coverage over now. Time? Maybe a minute. They even got to throw in a Trump comment.

They should merge and become COX, then they can carry both stories at the same time. Besides, they are all just a bunch of dicks anyways. :mrgreen:

Insofar as it regards public policy, it is newsworthy.

Now, this may be pursued as a hate crime. Does this example suggest that any changes to our hate crime laws should occur? That question would be relevant to public policy.

In Trayvon, it did have elements that questioned the stand your ground type policy that incentivizes those involved in assault or battery to slay their opponent to silence opposition testimony.

However, it was also heavily sensationalized and abused in ways that was not newsworthy, so i consider your point to be valid.
