You're an aberration... most of the right doesn't care about those deaths.

It's just weird to me how people can get so much more upset over a rich kid being tarred for a few days than some of those cases you mentioned. I suppose the reason beyond the racial aspect is that the perpetrator in those cases is the state, the cops, rather than liberals and the media.

Washington Post is fucking scum.

huh? nick sandmann is a reich-winger like santara! cnn and wapo said so!!! also philando castille (may he RIP) was a legal gun owner which made him a reich-winger per those two tabloids

There was pretty universal condemnation of George Floyd's death that was subsequently lost in "Yes we mean literally abolish the police" NYT op-eds.

He's a young kid whose life was almost ruined by partisan, over eager media sources. WaPo unscrupulously publishing articles with a slant they had to have known was false is important to anyone who cares about factual news reporting.

Can you imagine that ~8 years ago, there was an actual debate over whether news media had an anti-Romney slant or were just being "fact-driven"? Now these things aren't even a question.

Fucking lol

There never seems to be actual outrage from the right, unless it involves white guys as the victim and certain groups(media, liberals, Democrats) as the perpetrators. And deflecting onto fringe groups, as you just did, is a tactic the right uses which highlights that they really don't give a shit about the underlying incidents.

It's simply the nature of news media that people react in real time to events. I don't know what WaPo got sued for, because any time this thread comes up nobody ever posts articles, but it's not that big of a deal. "We're going to wait to react to this video showing the stereotypical racist incident until we have 10 more angles" is just being unrealistic. This applies to left, right, and fact-based media.

I think you've just moved further into your bubble and aren't exposed to differing viewpoints, except when presented by people who agree with you.

White fragility. It's not even a right/left issue either. White liberals are more offended on behalf of minorities because they can't imagine a world where THEY aren't in control. White liberals are the ones who HAVE to save everyone. On the other side, you have a bunch of butt hurt white right-wingers who cry when anyone criticizes their race. It's really pathetic.

the Washington Post is complete trash. Anybody who still supports them is helping ruin the country.

The problem with this argument is that even the most rabid Trump cult propagandists use stories everyday that the fact-based media breaks.

"Mainstream media sucks" is just a silly story right-wingers tell themselves, but they don't actually believe it. In practice, they rely on the media all the time.
