tvashtarkatena Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Nobody is making up that the corporate media mostly ignored the attempting bombing of an MLK march, while they usually hype up anything that could be construed as terrorism despite Tvash's claims to the contrary. Funny thing is, in the top 3 stories I read, the term 'domestic terrorism' is used over and over again. Am I...missing something here? Perhaps I should dribble free trade organic lemon juice over my monitor to reveal the hidden subtext.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The first thing I do in any controversy is check the basic claims. This one took about 30 seconds to debunk. It usually doesn't usually need to go any further than that. The first thing people do after an even like this is to start making shit up.

j_b Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I've made no claims other than your originally posted blogurd was crap. liar. You claimed that it wasn't true that Spokane wasn't reported like other terrorist attempts Attributing strawmen opinions to your critics...well, that's Faux's bread and butter, isn't it? You're not fighting the problem, you're part of it, DOOD. what senseless drivel. not a single assertion substantiated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You claimed that it wasn't true that Spokane wasn't reported like other terrorist attempts Can you quote me on that? Nope, didn't think so. But such an observation is irrelevant, as the event was reported on most media outlets appropriately. It's just not a very complicated story yet...since the investigation has yet to reveal anything (they still don't know who left the bomb). Plus, the investigation just started and the story is ongoing. A bit too early to cry 'cover up!!!!'...unless you need to.

tvashtarkatena Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well, since no one knows who left the bomb, perhaps further investigation will reveal an Arab MO and the media will go nuts. Or a major Right Wing Conspiracy will be uncovered and the media will go nuts. Or it was left by some random jaggoff and the media will go nuts. Or they'll never find out who left it and....

j_b Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The point is precisely that if there was any chance it had an arab MO, whether or not it was a terror attempt, the media would have gone wild 24x7. They don't need no stinking evidence to "catapult the propaganda" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Self described 'journalists' who use phrases like 'might have', or 'could have' get appropriately stuffed into my recycle bin. That's laziness...and a lack of interviewing access. Sorry, there's too much good professional journalism out there to bother with the amateurs. The problem isn't a lack of good journalism - its an overwhelming flood of bad or non-journalism, such as the blog post from this OP, and a lazy unwillingness on the part of readers to discern the difference. But what do I know? I'm just a fuckwhit talkin' out my ass. Edited January 25, 2011 by tvashtarkatena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prole Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 When the Spokane terrorists are identified, rest assured the event will be described as a random, isolated act perpetrated by lone, fringe wackos.

tvashtarkatena Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) It would seem to me that the story, considering how devoid of information it is at this point, has been thoroughly well reported so far. I'm reasonably confident that, should something turn up, that will also be covered in a similarly robust fashion.

prole Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Wow. My googling revealed tens of stories about the bombing - including the WA Post, NYT, WSJ...pretty much all of the biggies, as well as all the local boys, too. I continue to be ever vigilant for a cover up, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Nope. Not a hit count analysis...that was j-bs. There was a 'no coverage' claim...I simply took 5 seconds to debunk it.

j_b Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I never talked about google hits, you did. I only cited people who witnessed there was no coverage for almost 24 hrs in what are among the major leaders of news and minimal coverage from cable.
