I post these often. Some don’t like it. But the media truly are an enemy of the people. They control the daily narrative........

Appreciate you posting these, Ralph.

I'm an independent, and you've opened my eyes a bit.

It's becoming crystal clear (to me) that media bias is worse than I thought.

A few minutes ago (at approx 9:30 am pacific fri 08-14-2020) I did a Google search for the phrase "neighbor shoots five year old cnn" (without the quotes.)

It took almost a week, but CNN (finally) has an article up on their site reporting the story.

By Raja Razek, CNN | Updated 5:19 AM ET, Fri August 14, 2020
A 25-year-old man has been charged in the shooting death of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/13/us/no...led/index.html

However, a cursory look at the article tells me CNN isn't being intellectually honest.

The article starts off with a large headline that reads:
Quote:
A 25-year-old man has been charged in the shooting death of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant
Immediately beneath the headline is a man (who is white.)

But the man immediately beneath the headline isn't the man charged in the shooting death of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant.

The man immediately beneath the headline is the boy's father. You would only learn that by clicking and watching the video.

Viewers who don't take the time to click and watch the video could easily be misled into thinking the man pictured beneath the headline is the man charged in the shooting death of 5 year old Cannon Hinnant.

You have to scroll about halfway down towards the bottom of the article (well beneath the fold) in order to see a much smaller picture of the man charged in the shooting death of 5 year old Cannon Hinnant - Darius Sessoms (who is black.)

Imo, CNN can kiss my ass.

The media will ignore, or even defund stories that don't fit the narrative or the market.

Total garbage reporting. One might think the shooting could have been accidental if this is the first they read about it. Important details were omitted such as witnesses seeing the killer murder the 5yo boy execution style in front of his two sisters.

Since about the last week of July, instead of comments, Yahoo now has the following text:
Quote:
Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting. In the meantime, we welcome your feedback to help us enhance the experience.
I think someone at Yahoo decided to 'cancel' a whole lot of voices.

I also think if disabling comments is in fact temporary:

Expect to see Yahoo restore comments once election results become official.

In the 1930s, all Germans were given free radios and mandated to listen to them. And any stations outside the approved German ones were prohibited.

Nothing new here -it has been done before.
It is heading that way again.

This batch of degenerates are worse than the Nazis were. No, they're not rounding up Jews, but the psychological damage its doing to decent families and children is just as bad...and its just beginning. They're evil to the core.
