Another Church Shooting in the South

A man was upset over the fact that he was having problems being able to visit his infant son. In a fit of rage, he killed the baby's Mother, a Pastor, and the baby himself. Take a wild guess why you haven't heard about this being reported by the race-baiting mainstream media which usually jumps all over a story like this:

http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines-2015/another-church-shooting-but-you-wont-hear-about-it-on-the-msm-because-the-shooter-is-black

Obviously, a story like this doesn't help promote their race-baiting agenda. No one would be burning any towns down or looting over something like this so the liberal media chooses to ignore it. BIg surprise, huh?

Because it was a personal tragedy not a politically inspired rampage, hence public interest is not at the same level?

Rip. That's terrible. 🙁

The baby part kills me. 🙁🙁

Yeah, murdering his infant son for not being able to see his infant son more....what a pos.

The reason this isn't being strongly reported in mainstream media in the US is exceptionally simple- a person with an everyday sort of grudge (like family issues) in the US resorting a firearm to attempt to kill others is no longer interesting or rare enough to be news. It's a shocking indictment in many ways but there you go.

If you are implying this is anything to do with colour, you are dead wrong. A white shooter would be no more significant with such a motive. Especially with no fatalities. It's a non-story outside of local news.

Sorry Ush. But that line of reasoning is very flawed. You give the Media way to much credit. To them EVERYTING is political.

I honestly don't know what you mean by 'political' in that sense, but this is nothing to do with me giving the media credit. The whole basis of my argument is that they are only driven by that which people will be bothered to read rather than what might be of human interest. I believe the media will give inches to issues far more trivial, objectively, than someone trying to shoot his family- simply because they will attract readers. That is a relatively cynical position.

And it is definitely the case here.

Your right. Black on Black crime is a highly ignored subject by our media. I mean this kind of thing and worse happens every day and it never gets any attention in the media.

Ok, fair enough then.

The wider point, then, is that racially motivated killings are something that currently gets a LOT of attention (we only have to look in the GDF to see how riled up people are getting over racial issues right now in the US- indeed, that is the basis of this thread), so of course when a white guy blows away blacks for stated racial reasons, that is going to get major coverage. Same if a black person killed whites for similar reasons.

It's not some sort of anti-white media agenda, it's purely about what people want to engage in. Just another pissed off guy trying to murder his family with a gun doesn't make the cut any more.

I disagree. Its very much purposely anti straight white male. Minority on white crime is literally ignored, excused or enabled.

I think that's in defiance of all experience and sense with the media. White victims have always received far more attention on average than minorities, and I think it is ridiculous to conclude that the Charleston shootings got massive attention only because the shooter was white when you consider all of the variables there making it newsworthy (mass murder, stated racist agenda, background of high racial tension).

As for Robtard- well yes exactly, but the super-paranoid part of the media with such headlines has a different agenda.

There's definitely a target and agenda in the media.

I suspect you are now just making up numbers to justify your arbitrary position, let alone assuming a racial motive in such things. What I can simply point out, though, is that white victims get far more attention in the media than black ones- black on black murder has become virtually invisible in the press. That says a lot for racial bias.

The fact is racism is happening. Black on black crime (or gang related crime in general, regardless of the victims race) is an important issue, and it needs to be addressed, but it is often used as deflection to not talk about racial issues. We can easily address both issues, in fact one aspect of black on black crime is wider societal racism.

Well the debate there is whether it is media pull or public push; I am always inclined to the latter. In any case, it's not what the OP suggests.
