Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/21/justice/australia-student-killed-oklahoma/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 For some reason, CNN's just not going after this one with the same gusto that they did when George Zimmerman (Latino) killed Trayvon Martin (black). Despite it being overwhelmingly the hardest trending topic on CNN's website, CNN places as its main article the 6th-hardest trending article, a piece about a female being groped while on an exchange trip to India. Though CNN is devoting some air time to the article, it's by no means the center of attention, nor is CNN sending Don Lemon in to cover the situation. It's just "another story" in Mediaville. Of course, CNN has to at least do something. From that halfhearted desire to do its job comes the article above. Again, this article isn't the lead. Note how, in the entire article, CNN never mentions either the race of the accused teenagers or the race of the victim. You have to look at the pictures to determine that. Juxtapose that with the image of the three accused teenagers on the website as the story's introduction, and it's even more bizarre that this simple fact isn't mentioned. With the Zimmerman/Martin situation, what was the first thing CNN keyed on? Interesting, eh? But that's not what upsets me most; what upsets me most is how biased and deceptive the article is. The article practically feloniously bashes the reader in the face with the theme that "THERE WAS NO MOTIVE WHATSOEVER". (1) Paragraph 1: "apparently bored and looking for somebody to kill..." (2) Paragraph 2: "indiscriminate shooting..." (3) Paragraph 4: "you are 15 times more likely to be shot dead in the USA..." (straw-man + desensitization) (4) Paragraph 6: "It could have been anybody -- it was such a random act." (5) Paragraph 7: "indiscriminate nature" (the second time that particular word appears) That doesn't say: "thou protesteth too much". That screams it out of a bullhorn into a microphone that leads into an amp with 50,000 watts of power behind it. Again, CNN wants to make it exceptionally clear that "RACE IS NOT A FACTOR". Which is hilarious to me, because again, they not one time mention race. Race may well not be a factor in the killings. But then again, it wasn't what led to Trayvon Martin's slaying, either. TL;DR: American media having liberalism bias and being hypocrites.

ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I read this story elsewhere and whatever site I used didn't mention race either. I knew from the photo that the victim was white and the story mentioned he was an Australian exchange student, but it never once mentioned the race of the shooters or showed a photo of them (though I guess it was holding off on the shooters' photos because of their ages).

In an ideal world, race wouldn't even be an issue. But once the media starting ringing the bell of "race", it either needs to (1) stop ringing it in every situation [desirable] or (2) ring it in every applicable situation [not as desirable, but better than this].

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) 3 punks killed an innocent man, terrible thing. The fact that the media hasn't covered it, or blown it up like the Zimmerman/Martin case shows that all they are interested in is causing controversy and getting higher ratings. Piers Morgan can kiss my ass, he really just needs to go back to Britain. Mentioning "automatic and semi-automatic weapons" in this article is stupid and has about as much to do with this shooting as a rocket launcher. Just more of his bs to stir up frenzy for his agenda. Its an insult to the young man that died and draws attention away from the real issue. The issue here is that 3 young men thought it would be fun to kill someone. What is wrong with these people? and as an American if Australians don't want to visit the US to put pressure on this country to reform its gun laws, they can just stay in Australia. If the media is gonna talk about race in one case they need to do it in every case, or better yet don't talk about race when it has nothing to do with the case.

Single A west 113 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 How many times did the national media talk about the Channon Christian murder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 0 and honestly I had to look it up. Im embarrassed for that. Talk about being outraged, the perpetrators are worse than animals. Those type of actions are pure evil, those people have forfeited their right to exist in this world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Single A west 113 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Well unfortunately one of the murderers will now escape death row. We'll spend 3 million dollars keeping them all in jail. Once they were found guilty, they should have been taken out behind the courthouse for public execution! That would put a stop to some of these crimes.

bucfan64 307 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Wow! A year ago, I would have been attacked and constantly harrassed as being a racist for posting something like this or at least expressing a similar view. Although, I agree with the assessment it is indeed .............Strange how things have changed..... Media bias and subjectivity is the rule with todays "journalism." Nobody reports the news objectively anymore, it seems as if everyone has an agenda! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 What doesent make sense to me is the violence. I can understand robbing someone if you need or want money but if you get caught you run away. Why shoot someone? I just cant understand how murder becomes a solution to such a simple issue. I mean youre gonna have to run anyway, why no just do that in the first place.
