What is the Most Popular Media Lie du jour?

 


The fall of Atlanta, June 13, 2020
 

By Nicholas Stix

Thirty years ago, the New York Post launched a popular, hilarious ad campaign in New York City’s subways: “The Three Biggest Lies in New York.” The first two would be common lies, followed by, “And I never read the Post.”

“No MSG…”

(Number 2?)

“I’m a team player.

“I wasn’t fired, I quit.

“And I never read the Post.”

The MSM’s most common lies are not so funny.

At some point in the early 2000s (or earlier?), they latched onto,

“The crime was random.”

That unwittingly told you, ‘The crime was a targeted, black-on-white hate crime.’

“Police said the crime was not racially motivated.”

That likewise unwittingly told you the opposite was true.

A lie of omission, accompanying the inclusion of irrelevant information: “The suspect was wearing dark clothes, and driving a red car.”

Translation: ‘The perp was black.’

My VDARE colleague Steve Sailer today, regarding rioters’ incineration of a Wendy’s in Atlanta: “But CBS News wants you to know ‘the protests were largely peaceful.’”

The latest trend I see locally,is since the riots started 3 weeks ago,I've noticed the complete disappearance of race,as a description in crimes--that are obviously black caused--has become almost 100%.A blackout,so to speak.There might be a picture,but no mention of the perps being black(see the Kalamazoo robbery story I posted elsewhere today)for fear of being labeled "racist" I guess.
Soon,no pictures.
