15 people shot. Two dead.
It's not a headliner on CNN, FOX or Reuters. If the mass shooting had occurred in Europe or Canada, it would've been covered by their national media as a top story.parasaurolophus said:How many have heard about this incident today? Has to be least civered mass shooting in recent memory.

It's been like this in Chicago a long, long time. Very sad. I don't see anything changing.I heard nothing, thats insane.
I know this is petty...but at what point do we start calling this Joe Bidens America?

With the single biggest factor being does it advance their agenda or not. If it can be tied to white nationalists, it would get 24/7 coverage.KarmaPolice said:Not all mass shooting are equal in the media's eyes. This shouldn't be much of a surprise.

You guys are intentionally obtuse. The headline blasting across CNN right now is Stacey Abrams whinning about voters suppression. Sure there are stories about it......if you search.Just decided to skip the post right above yours?

I think a cop in NE was also shot in the face this weekend.Unrelated but a Chicago cop was shot in the face yesterday. I believe it’s the 13th shot this year in the city.
Ugh, you guys going to make me say jon-mx is right...you know this is not what is on the talk shows and headlines.You guys are intentionally obtuse. The headline blasting across CNN right now is Stacey Abrams whinning about voters suppression. Sure there are stories about it......if you search.
Right on the CNN app is Stacy Abrams, then 3 of the next 5 stories are about Trump.Ugh, you guys going to make me say jon-mx is right...you know this is not what is on the talk shows and headlines.
If the shooter was white or was reported as white it sure would be.Ugh, you guys going to make me say jon-mx is right...you know this is not what is on the talk shows and headlines.
If CNN had a Chicago shooting as the headline every weekend when it happened, people would complain about the liberal media being hyper-focused on this. It’s a no-win issue. 15 people shot in Chicago on a weekend isn’t a story — it’s a normal weekend.Ugh, you guys going to make me say jon-mx is right...you know this is not what is on the talk shows and headlines.
Strawman.You guys are intentionally obtuse. The headline blasting across CNN right now is Stacey Abrams whinning about voters suppression. Sure there are stories about it......if you search.
I think you are making jon's point for him. Yes, this terrible #### is going on every weekend and yes liberals will not allow the liberal media to focus on it, there's more money and political capital in focusing on the enemy (republicans) trying to stop elections from happening.If CNN had a Chicago shooting as the headline every weekend when it happened, people would complain about the liberal media being hyper-focused on this.

Let me educate you on what a strawman is. It is when the argument is 'least covered mass shooting" and you turn it into "not covered at all". That is a strawman. YW.Strawman.
The argument was that it was not being covered at all by the media, not that it wasn't the headline or leading the news on these sides.
HTHStrawman.

There is a pastor in Detroit who is always on the news has said this a number of times and again last night when he said "Nobody cares when black people shoot and kill each other" "BL only M when a white person does the shooting." It is sad that he is right.parasaurolophus said:How many have heard about this incident today? Has to be least civered mass shooting in recent memory.

The fix is so simple - stop watching and/or giving them clicks. It's fascinating how much you guys complain about CNN, but as you do you are giving them clicks and posting links in here giving them more clicks.Trump, Trump, Trump, Fox, Fox, Fox.
IMO it says more about what we think and we want to see than it points to some insidious motivations by the media.It doesn’t get ratings. Just like when a black girl goes missing, that doesn’t get ratings. Unless black protestors bring these issues to our attention, blacks people are generally invisible in our society, as are all minorities. It’s very sad.
That was my point. We agree.IMO it says more about what we think and we want to see than it points to some insidious motivations by the media.
So your theory is people who tune into any sort of news would turn it off the second they see a dark face come on it?It doesn’t get ratings. Just like when a black girl goes missing, that doesn’t get ratings.

Nice spin Tim. As usual, your observation is so far from reality, I would not even know where to begin.It doesn’t get ratings. Just like when a black girl goes missing, that doesn’t get ratings.

Your theory about theory that the mainstream media has no bias or agenda has been disproven by so many studies and experts. Good to see you are in the science denial camp onthis one.That was my point. We agree.
As a general rule, whenever you hear any accusation that the mainstream media is behaving in an insidious, deliberate political manner, there’s usually another explanation. Its a pretty tiresome meme.
Based on your rather amazing interpretation of what happened on January 6, it would not be a stretch to conclude that your sense of reality is far removed from mine.Nice spin Tim. As usual, your observation is so far from reality, I would not even know where to begin.
It’s in the news every weekend here. It’s not in the news elsewhere because it isn’t a story. If we had a 7.0 earthquake every weekend, it wouldn’t be a story either.I think you are making jon's point for him. Yes, this terrible #### is going on every weekend and yes liberals will not allow the liberal media to focus on it, there's more money and political capital in focusing on the enemy (republicans) trying to stop elections from happening.
Whatevs manLet me educate you on what a strawman is. It is when the argument is 'least covered mass shooting" and you turn it into "not covered at all". That is a strawman. YW.
Lol now there is science that proves the media is biased? What a strange little world you live in.Your theory about theory that the mainstream media has no bias or agenda has been disproven by so many studies and experts. Good to see you are in the science denial camp onthis one.
Bias is not the same as agenda.Your theory about theory that the mainstream media has no bias or agenda has been disproven by so many studies and experts. Good to see you are in the science denial camp onthis one.
Nah. There is actually backlash against covering these incidents. There are actually groups out there that argue that black crime gets over covered. Or that white criminals get sheltered.IMO it says more about what we think and we want to see than it points to some insidious motivations by the media.
And let me educate you, here was your post:Let me educate you on what a strawman is. It is when the argument is 'least covered mass shooting" and you turn it into "not covered at all". That is a strawman. YW.
You inferred the story had to be searched for, but not covered by major news media as a major story.1 hour ago, jon_mx said:

I am talking in general. We can find examples of someone or some group thinking just about anything. Just saying in general the news is feeding us what we want and what is giving them clicks.Nah.

This is what led to many campus police departments now not being allowed to use race in crime alerts.
