You're not implying the media should be biased towards cops are you? I'm suggesting they try to be accurate and honest and try not to give people the wrong impression of what happened.

eyeball Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 3 hours ago, WestCanMan said: Because they're encapsulating the whole story in one quick sound byte at the beginning of the show, which sets the tone. The tone should always be set to "accuracy", never to "inflammatory". No, that's what your bullshit filter is for. Fortunately these filters are unique in that they even filter your own biases. You do have to throw the valve that bypasses them however. I suspect your's is seized up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This from the person who couldn't even comprehend why it was inaccurate to just say "he was shot in the back while he was running...". LMAO.

If your post isn't removed by mods, and this forum has to become a total sandbox, then so be it, but here's the unabridged truth: You're the biggest liar on this site eyeball, maybe the entire internet. I catch you on actual lies almost every single day. Basically nothing that you say has a smidgeon of accuracy, common sense or truth. For a person like you to call me a liar is the epitome of farcical. Quote I see. You're suggesting you don't like thinking fior yourself and resent it when other people do/can. Of course this is wrong, to the point of being ludicrous, as usual. I do think for myself, and in this day and age that's obviously pretty rare or CNN and CTV wouldn't have any viewers left. It actually is important for broadcasters to portray an honest, accurate depiction of major news events, especially when they're covering sensitive topics like this. For you to suggest that they can be deceptive and just assume that their viewers should figure it out for themselves is utterly idiotic. Quote I'm guessing you have no comprehension just how much of a window you've opened on how your mind works. I'd leave the window wide open for awhile and air the place out. You've just advocated for complete dishonesty in broadcasting eyeball. That's as big of a window to one's idiocy as could ever be opened. Your brain doesn't need to be aired out, it needs to start start working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boges Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Saw the lawyers of the other cop on TV yesterday. The one being charged for assault and not felony murder. He was asked why two grown-ass men got beat down by a drunk man. Paraphrasing, of course. The retort is that the non-murderer had no idea that the guy who was about to commit murder was about to try and cuff Mr. Brooks. Awful policing on so many levels.

The guy who had the taser out wasn't doing anything. He just kept saying "stop resisting or I'll taser you" but he didn't even taser him. He just lost his taser to the guy. Honestly, if you're holding a pistol by the grip and someone else grabs the barrel they'll always win because they have have a lot of leverage on you, but that cop was still just as useless as tits on a boar.

WestCanMan Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 The prosecutor in that case is just a huge liar and grandstander. He said things like brooks was "slightly intoxicated" and described him as jovial, etc, which is quite misleading seeing as he punched a cop in the face among other things. Nice to know that .108 and passing out behind the wheel in Georgia is just slightly intoxicated as per their prosecutor's own words. I guess that at .095 with one eye open you're sober. It was .07 here for the longest time, but now you can get busted below even that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because police are given almost no training in hand to hand combat, fighting, disarming techniques, etc. They're taught to use their tazer or gun. Because it's cheaper to train them to shoot than to defend themselves. Japanese are expected to get at least a black belt in Judo or some other martial art. This would not have happened to them. 4 hours ago, Boges said: The retort is that the non-murderer had no idea that the guy who was about to commit murder was about to try and cuff Mr. Brooks. From what I'm reading elsewhere it is a virtual certainty that the cops involved will be found not guilty. The charges were laid by a DA up for re-election this year who is not doing well in the polls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just googled CTV National News for June 13th and this came up: https://www.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1970845 You have to watch 3 thirty-second commercials every time you go into their vault and I'm not here to make money for CTV so I won't be watching any more of their videos, but the headline segment here is a good example of how intentionally ignorant & inflammatory their news coverage is. "Killed after falling asleep at a drive-thru" is their entire opening comment about the Brooks shooting at the beginning of this newscast. Then they go a voiceover of "We, as a country, can't breeeaathe anymore" while they're showing some footage, and then there's an angry black man jabbing his finger at the camera saying "Black lives matter! They alwaayys matter!", as if that's supposed to be news. They didn't start with "killed after punching a cop, stealing his taser, and shooting it at the officer". Not even "Killed after passing out drunk at a drive thru and getting into an altercation with police", they just open with their blatantly misleading & inflammatory quote. CTV is pure filth. You can mange mange mange all you want. It will tickle your hate bone and get you all fired up to go chase some windmills. If you want to find the quote I mentioned earlier, you can wade through their feces and watch their commercials, the fact is that it's it's there. Your comment above is just stupid. CTV carefully phrases their opening monologue, and it is never a casual mistake that it is the exact way that it is. They neglected to mention all of the key elements of the event, and their coverage paints a grossly misleading picture of what happened. If that's good enough from one's perspective, that explains why so many people have such a limited/backwards understanding of most news events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this sort of specific accusation you need a whistle blower or video/audio evidence of executive level manipulation. You've stated your accusation as plainly as it gets - their neglect is not a casual mistake and that painting a grossly misleading picture is an act of wilful intent. Now you just have to prove it. My comment is not the least bit stupid it's to inconvenient for you to approach objectively. This is a stupid comment; Quote If that's good enough from one's perspective, that explains why so many people have such a limited/backwards understanding of most news events. It takes some special kind of chutzpah to eschew objectivity while apparently declaring your own subjective perspective is all the evidence anyone needs to accept the accusations you make.

WestCanMan Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 1 hour ago, eyeball said: it's close. See, all I did there was selectively choose your own words, in their correct order, from your post, that fit my narrative, and neglected to use the parts of your post that didn't fit my narrative. That's like blaring out a headline where CTV uses the parts of a story that fit their narrative, and neglect the parts of a story that don't fit their narrative. Or maybe it was just sloppy editing. The onus is on you to PROVE that it was intentionally. You need a whistleblower in my office, or my post stands as an accurate reflection of your post. See how that works? Now that you've made it clear that you're ok with CTV's editorial standards it's so much easier replying to your posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
