    How long did it take each of them to report on it?

    Fox is not one of the big media companies? Surely you can't be serious!

    So then you disagree with the below which has Forbes left of center?

    Yes, because we all know that Obama's press secretaries NEVER lied on his behalf! Where was Forbe's articles on them? Instead, what do we read in that Forbe's article about them? Right here:

    "Press secretaries like Joe Lockhart, Ari Fleischer and Jay Carney, who left the White House with their reputations in various stages of intact, made millions taking their skills — and credibility — to corporate America." https://www.forbes.com/sites/randal...o-lied-for-trump-accountable/?sh=16f0f5d35710

    Correct - Trumpism is what made the Republicans not be DESTROYED like when the PATHETIC John McCain and Mitt Romney were running for them! :roflol:

    According to the number of fact checks they run for right wing claims?

    Well, as much as I adopt the policy of 'waiting for the facts', I did see the Floyd video and I was pretty quick to make a judgement about the cop. It did appear to me that the cop killed him in a most horrifying way. I think that it justifiably made national headlines, however, that doesn't mean that it was covered in a fair way - it wasn't. And even right wing outlets were condemning the cop. I also think that it should have made national headlines if the person who died was white, but of course, you and I know perfectly well that it wouldn't have. Anyway, as it turned out, the autopsy told a very different story, showing that he had enough fentanyl in his system to kill a horse. I understand that the trial is underway, but I've heard nothing about it. It seems that there's a good chance that he will be found innocent, after a DISGRACEFUL over-charge by a radial left wing attorney general who just wants to cover his own ass by making it so that upon a 'not guilty' verdict, he can simply say that he went for the highest charge, but that there's nothing that he could have done because the system is racist! What a piece of crap Ellison is.

    Conservative media was the ones pushing his prior record. The Republican DA was the one saying the shooting was justified

    What's wrong with that?

    Can you support that?

    It took some of them almost a month. Why are you expecting all of them to be reporting on this less than a week when comparing how long it took them to report on that?

    Media is not always instantaneous

    Who the hell is "WE?" And what do you mean "report?" The only thing I can think of is the 'report' feature on here.

    It's not race baiting to point out the media's double standards on race! If you accuse ME of race baiting, you must think that the media is pretty damn guilty of it!

    Do we know why it took them so long?

    Well I don't now that you've informed me about how uselessly slow the American media can be.

    Okay, so if you know that Fox News' audience is right wing, do you know what CNN's audience is?

    I don't see how the release of suspects makes a story more newsworthy. Perhaps you can explain.

    Well Arbey's killers are not police either.

    CNN, Washington Post, New York Times? Can I hold you to this? This may be the BOLDEST prediction which I've ever seen!

    One of his killers was a recently retired officer

    And yes, it will be on two out of three — minimum

    Do you seriously think that made one little bit of difference?

    Alright, if you say so! You're the American after all.

    Funny how when they DO, it mostly involves a black victim.

    Are you sure that you don't have too much faith in the media? Do you remember Daniel Shaver? Have you even HEARD of the name without the use of Google?

    Perhaps for the particularly horrific way in which he was killed.

    Of course it would be on Fox. Fox aren't motivated by the race narrative.

    What does the "racism endemic" have to do with this story?

    I'm only using the media's standards against them! How quick were they to point out that George Floyd was black and the cop was white? 5 seconds?
