    To paraphrase a quote from that two year old post: Your gotcha has no gotcha. The quicksand continues to rise...

    You said what two other than FOX after I said two of the “big 5” had reported on it.

    "When the opposite happens", as in when the races are reversed?

    Yes. Let me rephrase. Some media organizations push a racial narrative when the victim is black and the perpetrator is white — sometimes these racial narratives end up being factual sometimes not but one thing that is constant is conservative white males being upset that races are even mentioned and when races are not mentioned they automatically assume a black assailant (see the Atlanta Spa shootings for reference). And when it is accurate the narrative typically shifts to “they deserved it”.

    The hypocritical part is these same white conservative males do the exact same thing when the assailants are black and the victim is white regardless of any evidence to support it.

    Which media assumed a black assailant for the Atlanta Spa?

    Specifically MSN, right? That's not the same as MSNBC is it?

    ABC local. Not national.

    I guess either Daily Beast was unbiased two years ago, or you were a biased person two years ago but now you are totally non-partisan! Neither have you given as a defence!

    MSN is tied in with NBC, both are reporting. MSNBC is owned by the same parent company as NBC.

    All affiliates are owned by the parent company.

    Oh okay then. So you admit that the media made the Arbery story "national by taking away local contexts and framing it into a discussion about race when it was about local issues?"

    No, that was pushed by members of conservative media.

    The MSN story was HARDLY much of anything. It wasn't even original reporting, but rather a direct copy and paste of the Daily Mail's article.

    If you think that my point was that no MEDIA CONGLOMERATE PARENT COMPANIES other than Fox own outlets which reported the story, then you're DEAD WRONG! It's really VERY simple: All of the news outlets at the NATIONAL level reported on Arbery, but only Fox reported on this one!

    Cite just ONE SINGLE conservative in the media who said that Arbery deserved it!

    The way in which they say that a Republican's claim is "missing context", but never does the same for Democrats.

    Even I have to acknowledge a point of difference with the Floyd case.
