I’ve rescued a classic, VDARE article on media evil!
By Nicholas Stix
My old VDARE editor, James Fulford, wrote thousands of important articles. However, none is accessible at VDARE.com, or even at VDARE.name, the url Peter Brimelow gave his webzine, after new york state criminal generaL, Letitia James, illegally forced VDARE out of business. I have tried in vain many times and many ways to find James’ work, in particular three classic articles on media evil. (I had downloaded the three articles I cited, and hundreds, if not thousands of James’ articles, but lost all of them due to a short-circuit which destroyed my external drive in february, 2021.) However, tonight I finally availed myself of The Wayback Machine.
The Fulford File, By James Fulford | Hate Crimes, Real Crimes, and Relevance
February 07, 2007
"We’ve done a lot of writing over the years on the media’s unwillingness to report on race, starting with a reprint of Peter Brimelow’s 1993 review of Paved With Good Intentions. But, despite our express instructions, it gets more and more blatant every day.
"Recently, Internet128.com had a post titled “The case has not raised issues of race, sex and class”:
“The Boston Globe has a long article on two lesbian women who were attacked by “teenagers” after leaving a park in East Boston, where they had watched a 4th of July fireworks display in 2003. There’s barely a word in the article about the perpetrators, so I take it they aren’t lacrosse players from Duke University. The article’s bottom line is that the women got a $205,000 settlement last fall, apparently on the grounds that the agency policing the area should have realized that if you don’t have hordes of police at events in East Boston, somebody will almost die. Well, duh.
“One of the victims needed 220 stitches according to the article. That’s some serious savagery.”
"It took me a while to find the solution to “guess the criminal’s ethnicity” game.
"I actually found a clue in an SPLC report about “teenage hate”:
"After the teens allegedly taunted the family with anti-gay slurs and threats, 15-year-old Anita Santiago allegedly slugged 35-year-old Lisa Craig hard enough to knock her to the ground. According to police reports, Santiago and her fellow gang members then bashed Craig’s head against the sidewalk and kicked the woman so brutally that her brain hemorrhaged and she needed more than 200 stitches. [SPLCenter.org: Age of Rage]
"Oh, that kind of teenager! You mean a Hispanic teenager! East Boston, known as Eastie, is being taken over by Hispanics, including Hispanic gangs. There’s nothing about that in the SPLC report, of course, nor about traditional Hispanic homophobia.
"The Hispanic girl, who was the only one of the teenagers charged, was not charged with a hate crime. (I’m going to take a wild intuitive leap and assume that if one member of a teenage mob is Hispanic, they all are. If there’s one thing teenage gangsters aren’t, it’s multicultural.) And when she came up for trial, she wasn’t really punished. (A year of probation, and she was ordered to get her GED and take anger management counseling.) [“East Boston teen sentenced in beating,” Boston Globe, July 12, 2005]
"You may know that the Associated Press Style Guide
"Race: Identification by race is pertinent:
-
In biographical and announcement stories, particularly when they involve a feat or appointment that has not routinely been associated with members of a particular race. [I. E. the “first black” to do something good is relevant. The thousandth black to commit an armed robbery is not.]
-
When it provides the reader with a substantial insight into conflicting emotions known or likely to be involved in a demonstration or similar event.
In some stories that involve a conflict, it is equally important to specify that an issue cuts across racial lines. If, for example, a demonstration by supporters of bussing to achieve racial balance in schools includes a substantial number of whites, that fact should be noted.
This is the excuse the Associated Press invokes when it gets caught, as it regularly does, failing to report the race of a criminal who is still on the loose, when lives might be saved by knowing what the suspect looks like.
"A particularly bad case recently: a black man who was raping young white men at gunpoint in the Houston area. (See Nicholas Stix, Uncensored: “Another Associated Press Scandal: Wire Service Covers Up Black-Male-on-White-Male Rape Spree” for full details.) The point here is that, knowing the race of the suspect, and of his potential victims, said potential victims can take precautions.
"While the AP Stylebook doesn’t say why they treat race as not “pertinent”, a similar stylebook
“'We must be especially scrupulous about avoiding irrelevant references in stories about criminal charges or other matters in which identifying a person’s race or national origin may unfairly associate an entire group with criminal or antisocial activity.”
"It’s that little word “unfairly” that does it. Many groups are fairly associated with criminal or antisocial activity. And perhaps the public needs to know that.
"The people who write the news stories, and the stylebooks, don’t want you to think about the “color of crime,” or the color of “antisocial activity” so they’ve decided to suppress it. They believe stereotypes to be “inaccurate, resistant to change, overgeneralized, exaggerated, and generally destructive,” rather than, as conservatives tend to think, fairly accurate and not so bad.
"I think I may have found the chronological origin of this peculiar suppression of the facts
"October 25, 1896: The [New York] Times slogan: “All the News That’s Fit to Print” makes its first appearance on the editorial page.
"August 11, 1946: The Times introduce an editorial change announcing they will no longer refer to the race of persons suspected of a crime unless race is relevant to the story. [The New York Times: A Chronology: 1851-2006, Researched and Compiled by Bill Lucey, June 25, 2006]
"In 2005, Newsweek ran a story falsely alleging Koran desecration by American troops (one group the media is willing to stereotype). This resulted in Muslim rioting all over the world, Muslims being willing to riot for almost any reason.
"At the time that happened, Instapundit wrote this:
“'If they had wrongly reported the race of a criminal and produced a lynching, they’d feel much worse—which is why they generally don’t report such things, a degree of sensitivity they don’t extend to reporting on, you know, minor topics like wars.”
"I remember thinking that was very peculiar, since there haven’t been any lynchings in the United States for forty years or so. What exactly is going on here?
"Well, one thing that hasn’t been abolished is rioting.
"The article above that gave the date of the New York Times 1946 venture into what we now call “Political Correctness” gives another story:
“'May 29, 1964: The New York Times published a page one story about the Blood Brothers, a black youth gang operating in Harlem who were reportedly recruiting and training forces planning to kill whites.
“'The Times met with an outpouring of criticism once the story rolled off the presses. Questions were raised, for instance, whether there ever was such a gang by that name [1]. Even if they existed, a Times editor acknowledged, they carelessly relied too much on police accounts [2] of the gang and the danger they posed to the community, which later were to be found exaggerated [3]. The reporter who wrote the story eventually resigned [4]. Other papers picked up on it reshaping it with sensational headlines [5], such as “HARLEM MAU MAU”—creating a sense of hysteria in the community [6] and may have contributed to the riot that inflamed Harlem on July 18th (lasting through the 23rd) after a black youth was shot by an off-duty white police lieutenant, leading to scores of arrests, injuries, and causing $50,000 in property damage [6].”
"The claim here is that five days of rioting were partly in response to claims of black gang violence, which were, of course, essentially true, and have since gotten many times worse. But it’s not the newspaper that’s at fault, it’s the rioters.
[N.S.: The six bracketed numbers were of lies by the times. Of course, the blood brothers existed; it was a division of the nation of islam. Why would it have been "careless" to rely on police accounts? Should the reporter have relied on accounts by the killers? How could the danger to the community of a gang of serial killers have been "exaggerated"? Then again, the gang only murdered Whites, but the times had no intention of saying that. The reporter, Junius Griffin, didn't exactly "resign." black supremacist thugs ran him out of town. How could any headlines about the blood brothers have counted as "sensational"? Serial killers were running amok, but an honest headline "created a sense of hysteria in the community"?!Thanks to the late, great, Alan Stang, I know of four Whites whom the blood brothers murdered,
1. Jules Bulgach;
2. David L. Watts;
3. Eileen Johnson; and
4. Mrs. Magit Sugar;
5. (The blacks also stabbed Mr. Frank Sugar, but he survived.)
Fake criminologist Carl Suddler reported that five Whites were somehow murdered by someone, but refused to name more than Mrs. Sugar.
Suddler lied about the law, in asserting that five of the six defendants, who had not committed the actual stabbings, were guilty of no crime. One of the first lessons that every child learned in new york state, when I was very young, was that if you committed a crime, during which one of your accomplices murdered someone, you were every bit as guilty of the murder as he was, and would be punished the same, up to and including being executed.
In the state of new york, the legal principle is, "acting in concert." In tennessee and other states, the legal principle is, "criminal responsibility."
When three racist young black thugs--Zyairr Davis, 13, Rashaun Weaver and Luchiano Lewis, both 14--robbed and murdered White Barnard college co-ed, Tessa Majors on December 11, 2019, one of the killers, Zyairr Davis (under coaching by his attorney), told a lie that was functionally identical to Suddler's lie. He asserted in court that he had merely handed the murder weapon to one of his crime partners, Rashaun Weaver, who then plunged it into Majors' body, killing her. Davis may have done as little as six months in a juvenile facility. we'll never know, because his identity has been hidden. (How do I know it? Because one heroic reporter sacrificed her career to name him.)
Suddler and the legal aid lawyer (Davis had no idea what he was saying, but his assertion was the key to his being prosecuted as a minor, and only for robbery, while his fellow murderers were prosecuted as adults, and for murder), Hannah Kaplan, both unwittingly admitted that the black criminals they championed were all guilty of murder. None of the stories I've recently found on the case named Davis' attorney (update: I found an old story that named her).
Why would they do that? Suddler and Kaplan are both imbeciles, and/or they both function within a subculture (the courts, antiversity, and the media), in which one can lie about the law, on behalf of black cut-throats, confident that nobody is going to call him out on his lies.

As for the blood brothers, the confessed racist killers' supporters took to calling them the "the harlem six": William Craig, Wallace Baker, Walter Thomas, Ronald Felder, Daniel Hamm, and Robert Rice. A hoax movement started by white novelist Truman Nelson, and then taken over by black supremacist segregationist, James Baldwin, got a re-trial and acquittal of the confessed, convicted killers. One never again heard of the White victims.]
"That’s not the only problem with telling the truth. Now any writing on race risks some kind of consequences for the writer—Scott McConnell used to have a job at the New York Post. Sam Francis used to have a job at the Washington Times. The list could go on.
"When I discussed this on VDARE.COM a few years ago, I said:
“But media blackouts on race and crime produce what Marxists call a ‘false consciousness.’ People don’t know the facts about crime. And they can’t decide on public policy because they don’t have those facts.”
"Remember, most newspapers in America use the AP stylebook, which tells them to suppress facts that the Liberal Consensus has decided you don’t need to know.
"And these are important facts—sometimes life and death important.
What can you do? Well, now there’s the Internet, so that you can find these things out for yourself.
"There's also VDARE.COM. We don't even own a copy of the AP stylebook, and we're not planning to buy one.
"Sometimes this shows up as stylistic errors, but mostly it shows up as a commitment to the truth about race and society.
"Religion writer Terry Mattingly founded a blog called GetReligion, because he felt that most of the press doesn't “Get Religion.”
"Race is another thing the MSM doesn’t get—because it’s decided it doesn’t want to.
