Mainstream Massage It passes the obvious to say that the internet offers a host of political and news commentary of a character the mainstream media disdain. Over the last year or so there has been some considerable debate about the uneasy relationship between the two. MSM journalists don’t like to be attacked from the fringes, and surely take much gratification from net journalism that descends into shoddiness and irresponsibility. I bet, though, they would kill for the freedom of speech we take for granted. It’s their rotten luck they don’t have it - and we do. It must be intensely annoying to have us freely deride them as bought and paid-for hacks. But lest you start to feel too sorry for them, just remember the sins of ommission which characterised MSM reporting at the outset of the Paris riots or the post-Katrina looting. And just take a moment to read this piece from the Toronto Star.
Of course, MR readers will read the signals here, and all the moreso when the next line of the report reveals that “police said the accused do not have any gang ties, although some are known to police.” Only once, much lower down, are the words “black” and “white” printed. The female victim, lest you have not guessed, was the white person, indeed the only one to feature in this tale of Toronto school life. But CBC News didn’t even manage that, showing only an indistinct photo shot from distance. The Toronto Star is even more coy, managing one reference to the alleged racism of the arresting officers. They did break the news of a mini-riot at the school when the arrests took place, though. That’s something, I suppose. And to whom do we owe this discovery of professional journalistic coyness? Why, to Michael of the Hogtownfront blog. For good reasons we will probably never know the victim’s name. But through the net we do know the names of Jesse Dirkhising, and Jason Befort, Bradley Heyka, Aaron Sander, Heather Muller and Ann Walenta, and Lee Martin, and Kriss Donald .. just a few of those who suffered far worse than this girl, and whom the MSM have scarcely seen fit to mention. I suppose the MSM have a point about bloggers. We are sometimes lacking in journalistic professionalism. We can’t always get it right. But we do not knowingly and routinely guide our readers to wrong conclusions for political reasons. That’s plain dishonesty, isn’t it? Acknowledgements to Desmond for the links

Posted by DissidentMan on Wed, 16 Nov 2005 02:01 | # The MSM is nowadays is little more than a Marxist propoganda machine. News reports can be relied upon to be fact-free with politically embarassing details omitted. The usual excuse is that the details in question are “unimportant”, as if mentioning them would take up too much valuable newspaper space, otherwise devoted to horroscopes and comics. 6
Posted by Matra on Wed, 16 Nov 2005 03:46 | # This was just on the CBC’s national news broadcast - the most watched news programme in the country. Surprisingly, they did bring up the subject of race pointing out that the victim is white and all the accused are black. The reporter brought up concerns about racism and had a black girl saying none of the accused were white so she suspects racism! I’d say any normal person watching the report would’ve come away believing police racism had nothing to do with it. This kind of behaviour is quite common in Toronto’s multicultural paradise. I know of a teenage girl who was harrassed at school by blacks. When she stepped forward the school advised her to drop out and finish her high school studies through correspondence - which she did. There are no-go areas in this particular school for whites, including white teachers. Apparently the Sikhs (probably the majority) and blacks don’t get along either. Almost every time I pass the school there’s a police car outside. But, hey, we wouldn’t want to go back to the boring pre-diversity bad old days! 7
Posted by Svigor on Wed, 16 Nov 2005 04:47 | # It’s practically impossible to follow racial matters and not come to the conclusion that journalist is a kind word for paid liar. This has nothing whatever to do with one’s politics. If one is honest and thinks critically it’s the inevitable conclusion; examples abound in this target-rich environment. Take the most recent example (from my persective of course), that of “Scooter” Libby’s jewishness. It’s no secret that “conspiracy theorists” make much of neocon-jewish “cabals.” It’s no secret that the MSM only addresses the issue rarely and in carefully selected venues to scoff at it. The “conspiracy theorists” have been calling Libby jewish from day one. At least one journalist, Joshua Muravchik, has expressly denied that Libby is jewish: Libby Jewish? Some wonder how The rest of the media ignored the issue, which created the impression that Muravchik’s was the final word on the subject. Then we get a nice quote of him laughing the issue off. Ha-ha, what, me worry? One wonders how much of the same “sloppiness” that protected Libby (a man who has attended the same synagogue “for years”) also protected Libby’s given name (Irving) from publication. The press acts as though it’s one of the inpenetrable mysteries of the multiverse, when in fact it’s probably a matter of public record. Note how the jewish press is allowed to entertain the question of how Libby’s jewishness impacts Plamegate. That’s just a-okay, hunkey-dorey, no-problemo, but we all know what would happen if the “non-jewish” press ran the exact same story with the exact same headline; cries of anti-Semitism would ensue. It’s okay for jews to discuss these matters away from the goyim - the subject is only verboten to non-jews. We don’t carry the necessary qualifications. This is by no means an important example, just the latest and the first to spring to mind. If Libby’s jewishness is of no relevance, why did the press do such an able job obfuscating it? I have very negative opinions about journalists in general. They bear a moral obligation to find honest work, but instead they pursue careers that require them to lie for a living. That leaves me with little doubt as to what kind of character typically ends up a journalist. 8

Events such as this are enough to rehabilitate the concept of vigilante justice. Where can I find some strange fruit when I really want some? (Written by a Jew, btw). Another strange element from the story: Yesterday, plainclothes officers stepped up their efforts and went to the school where they arrested two female students and 12 male students — two of whom are adults. I can only suppose that they were held back for having failed their classes. Importing dangerous morons is such a great idea. Here’s an example of a similar event that I recollected from local events of a while back. As far as I could tell, NONE of the local news outlets made any mention of race. Go ahead and accuse me of shoddy journalism, but I’ll throw my lot with statistics. Tacoma is rife with gang-banging blacks and terrified whites. http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=12107 Damn, you write good, GW. 9

Posted by Matra on Wed, 16 Nov 2005 05:30 | # On the news website of Toronto’s most popular channel the emphasis is on the suffering of the black youths: One of those mothers maintains there’s a racial element to the charges. “All of the accused were black,” she notes. “There was one white accused yesterday, and he was released. Why was the rest of the black kids sent to jail?” The poor youths are going to suffer terribly! Note below the use of words like “strict” and “harsh”: The youths are out of custody, but they’re hardly free – the bail conditions for the accused males are harsh and strict. They’re all under house arrest, which means they can’t leave home without their parents, and they’re all suspended from school indefinitely. And with the slow march of justice, it could stay that way for months. The victim has to return to a school where (according to CTV news) she will need special protection. But the accused are wallowing in self pity: “We can’t go back to the same school and I never did anything,” condemns another and: “I wanted to be a basketball player down to the States,” comments one grimly. “It’s cancelled now. So I have to think about something else.” 11
Posted by Matra on Wed, 16 Nov 2005 05:42 | # If you check the link to the Toronto news report I just posted and go to the first link within it (at the bottom of the article) you’ll find this priceless quote from a student complaining about the number of arrests of members of the basketball team: “Like basketball’s the only good sport we have going on right now. Like, half the team members are gone so it’s done for everybody,” Basketball matters, sexual assault doesn’t! 12
Posted by Tom Peters on Wed, 16 Nov 2005 06:20 | # Tell me this isn’t a classic from the Toronto Star article: “But last night, while waiting to speak with officers at 31 Division, the mother of a 16-year-old boy charged with criminal harassment said it was her son who has been victimized. “I never knew that anything like this is going on. I’m like totally in shock,” said the 31-year-old woman, who is also related to one of the girls charged. Do the above statements not summarize the whole black situation in the West? Do these people have ANY shame? Do they have ANY sense of honor and/or justice? White people need to realize that these people just do not play by the same set of rules. They are as tribal as can be. Why can’t whites understand this? Why can’t they understand the primitive nature of this type of behaviour. It is bad for blacks to be like this, but it is worse for whites to not call them on it.

But… guessedworker, you don’t understand! If we don’t obfuscate in those interests, White people might start DRAWING CONCLUSIONS and ACTING IN THEIR OWN INTERESTS!
