Title: An example of news bias.
Post by: Bricktop on August 08, 2018, 10:05:44 PM
The BBC is the UK's version of CNN. Further left than Marx, and as biased as a lawn bowling ball.



This is on their GLOBAL news service as a headline story.



"A US woman arrested after speeding through a stop sign asked police to let her off because she is "a clean, thoroughbred white girl", officers say."



//https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45119326



It goes on to say



"The officer's report stated: "Making statements such as these as a means to justify not being arrested are unusual in my experience as a law enforcement officer and I believe further demonstrate the suspect's level of intoxication."



When she was pulled over, Ms Cutshaw's blood alcohol level registered at 0.18% - the legal limit is 0.08% - and she failed sobriety tests.



Her eyes were bloodshot and glassy and she was slurring her words, police say.



She reportedly told officers she only drank two glasses of wine at an upmarket restaurant, saying: "I mean, I was celebrating my birthday."



Police also found marijuana and related paraphernalia in her car. According to the report, Ms Cutshaw said she "may have" smoked earlier that evening."



In effect, the ramblings of a drunk and stoned white person becomes a global news item because she is WHITE!!!



If a black person had said to a black officer that he should be released because he's black that wouldn't be news. That would be an every day occurrence. Trust me. I know.



But the BBC sees this as yet another opportunity to embarrass white people with a total beat up of a drunken rant.

But, I don't see it as international news.

You certainly nailed the reason why.  Because she implied she should get off because she's white.



This will naturally be conflated to be the attitude of all white people, who of course are all privileged racists, who believe that they should not have to obey laws minorities have to obey.



Without that angle, its just one of thousands of DUI cases that no news source would ever pay attention to. the media/prog war on white people continues.

I spent some time yesterday musing on the immense popularity of this story and trying to understand its wide coverage.  I don't propose to argue with your spin on the story having to do with media bias, although I think you're kind of over the top with it.



No, I'm only replying to shed some anthropological light on it.



You see, Bluffton, SC is not like the Southern Piedmont that lies east of the Appalachians.  It's in a fairly narrow strip of the Atlantic coastal plain that is simply NOT part of the "New South."  And it's not quite far enough south to be part of Cracker Land.  It's a place that time simply has forgotten, a Lowcountry relic of the Old South only with no money whatsoever.  For five of the last six decades it's been a gas station / hole in the road on the nice highway connecting Hilton Head Island to Interstate 95, and one of the last iconic Coastal Villages of the Old South....but since the turn of the century it's grown from 1200 souls to nearly 20,000 with a lot of cultural shock.



Twenty years ago Bluffton was about 93% White, and now it's only about 70% White.  Twenty years ago it was a place cheap enough for all the service workers with jobs on HHI to be able to live, so during the 40 year HHI boom those service workers came to live in Beaufort County and the culture has changed.



Hell, it used to be sufficient in Beaufort County to beat a DUI arrest by batting your eyelashes at the officer and BEING WHITE.  This girl probably figured it was worth a try.  I once knew a few women personally who pulled it off, a few decades back.  But evidently this cop was an import...a newcomer to that old culture, and as documented in the original story it's HIS REACTION that caused this to become interesting.  I seriously doubt that anyone in the Lowcountry even raised an eyebrow when the original story broke.



But to a stunning number of people from other parts, it's a riveting moment.  Like turning over a rock and finding some sort of weird insect under it.  



It's almost like discovering a hidden Bogan colony in North America, so of course there's a Major Media Spasm over it.  As you've been discussing on another thread, media makes decisions based on what will sell papers.
Title: Re: An example of news bias.
Post by: Wazzzup on August 09, 2018, 02:40:16 PM
I was thinking about it and actually this defeats the progs arguments about privilege.  She did something wrong ,asked to get let go because she's white, and they laughed at her and said hell no.  Kind of defeats the white privilege argument eh?



Now think about how many blacks and people of other races or Muslims do things wrong and play the false race card to get out of trouble (hi OJ) dozens? Hundreds?  



Who is privileged????

  Not true.  A DUI of a non celeb would normally not even make a local paper.  this is now national and international news. :001_rolleyes: which is utterly absurd.



there is no money in this total nonstory.  Its just another attempt to slander white people en masse.



the leftist media exists to push leftist causes, if they get paid for it too, it just makes them all the happier.

Think about it-- if White people were as racist as the media says, and the media just wanted to make money, wouldn't they go out and find stories that makes black  or some other minority look bad???



See there, proof that both  premises are wrong.

You're claiming that pushing an ideology is the reason a media company is in business, and the question of whether there is any profit in the enterprise is just incidental?  Did I read that wrong?

Media is owned by larger companies with a vested interest in securing energy, defense, et cetera, contracts. It's a conflict of interest to be able to spin the news favourably to that effect.

Not only is that charming expose anecdotal, it is irrelevant to the issue of media propagation of ANY incident possessing a whiff of "white supremacy" (whatever that is). That is the point, Peach. Not parables and an observation of the social evolution of backwash America.



As you may know, I used to be a Police Officer. If issues were made of the number of times comments similar to those attributed above, the press would have no room for advertisements. Common pleas included "do you know who I am", "I'm MARRIED", "I'm just a woman", "I'm a woman", "c'mon bloke, let a brother go", "racist", "I'll get your job", "I'm white", "I'm a friend of......", "why aren't you chasing real criminals" and so on.



Invariably whilst the offender was smashed out of their skull.



Once the booze wore off, these malefactors had no clue what happened, let alone what they said.



This episode is a perfect example of a media that is out of control, stooping to any subterranean level to create, maintain and impel the myth of "white supremacy".

That's correct, I honestly think it is not.  Sure, some elements of it are biased to the left just as some elements are biased to the right.  It's always been so, perhaps not to this degree.  And we needn't rely on anecdotal examples as often happens here with this topic since there are studies out there that Cashew posters never seem to mention.

Your belief has the advantage of following BC groupthink, but it's an opinion that some ex-cop here would probably point out was "anecdotal" at this point in time, unless he was a member of the group.

Your suppositions grow ever stranger. No-one here would ever accuse me of groupthink. Some of my views, as you have observed, run counter to the majorities perspective, and I am never bashful in pressing my case.



Here is one factual basis for accusing mainstream media of being a cheer squad for socialism;


Quote"I suspected that many media outlets would tilt to the left because surveys have shown that reporters tend to vote more Democrat than Republican," said Tim Groseclose, a UCLA political scientist and the study's lead author. "But I was surprised at just how pronounced the distinctions are."



"Overall, the major media outlets are quite moderate compared to members of Congress, but even so, there is a quantifiable and significant bias in that nearly all of them lean to the left," said co‑author Jeffrey Milyo, University of Missouri economist and public policy scholar.


//http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/Media-Bias-Is-Real-Finds-UCLA-6664



It goes on;


QuoteOf the 20 major media outlets studied, 18 scored left of center, with CBS' "Evening News," The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times ranking second, third and fourth most liberal behind the news pages of The Wall Street Journal.


I don't doubt these results would be replicated in most western nations.



Now, instead of playing word games, how about you discuss this issue based on FACT, not the past or present vocation of contributors to the discussion.

Here is one factual basis for accusing mainstream media of being a cheer squad for socialism;

I don't doubt these results would be replicated in most western nations.



Now, instead of playing word games, how about you discuss this issue based on FACT, not the past or present vocation of contributors to the discussion.


I haven't yet found time to offer a "competing" flim-flam "study" but I'm more than happy to tell you why I reject yours as having no value beyond Entertainment.



First, the study you endorse is from 2005, the beginning of Bush43's second term.  Just stop for a second and contemplate how far back in time that was in terms of US politics and the political issues of the day.



Second, the primary author of this study has used a methodology which he takes pride in suggesting that NO media scholar would ever think to use.  And he spends some time assuring the reader that no outside money funded the survey -- it was all paid for from UCLA's research slush funds (I forget what universities call that fund.)  That turns out to be a diversion from discussing his OWN bona fides, which I'll offer you here.

QuoteTo this day, I consider Goldwater one of my political heroes.  Four others are Ronald Reagan, Jack Kemp, Bob Dole, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.  Four other heroes, in addition to being successful politicians, are true scholars] Newt Gingrich, Phil Gramm, Dick Armey, and Dick Cheney.



My own PQ is approximately 13.


That's a PQ that puts him further to the right of the putative center than Ted Kennedy was to the left of it, okay?



Third, in designing his study he has used a metric which was originally developed by the leftist ADA for scoring the public posturing and the voting of members of Congress.  Such metrics are often developed by various pressure groups, the NRA being another notorious example.  The problem with his use of this metric is that it doesn't measure BIAS, but rather it tries to measure the amount of congruence between media "thinking" and the "thinking" of legislators.  



Inasmuch as said legislators are in large part outright whores who base their "thinking" on the corporate and special-interest money flowing into their pockets, it is highly laughable to suggest that the congressional Middle of 50 would also be the ideal, healthy benchmark for media to aspire to as its Middle.



I could rant on, but here are a couple of other discussions of the merits of your survey.

the idea that the mainstream media isn't biased to the left is like arguing the sky isn't blue or the grass isn't green.  



In fact I wouldn't even call it bias anymore.  Its outright activism.  It couldn't be more skewed if you put SJW activists, university professors or the democrat party in charge of the media.



Peaches you and other progs, or whatever you want to call yourself, don't see the bias because its right along with your thinking, so of course you don't have a problem with it.

I hope you realize that I can as readily say the exact thing you just said, about the way YUO and other trogs don't see the rightwing bias.

At no stage during that extended expose did you at any time REBUT the results of the study.



Instead you resort to the time honoured tradition of the left when confronted with inconvenient truths, which is to attack the purveyor, as did the sources you cited, which essentially boil down to "he's wrong" without even the slightest hint of empirical corroboration.



A UCLA researcher carried out an empirical study that drew a reasoned conclusion. I see no rebuttal of that conclusion provided by a duly accredited academic using empirical research methodology.



Put another way, you try to put a smokescreen between the public and the truth in accordance with true socialist dogma.

I didn't "attack" the purveyor, I fucking BURIED him...AND his methodology.  



I can't be arsed to go find some other schmuck academic who bothered to disprove his results using better science, because it's unnecessary and beneath me.  "Garbage In = Garbage Out."
