Stories the Mainstream Media Won't Tell You

1. You obviously don't watch the US news. It's become clear that, as in Canada, catching the police in any sort of remotely poor behaviour towards minorities is a story  

2. I would agree, though, that the riots over the past year were largely driven by the media, especially TV news lovingly covering every single instance of real or imagined racism or violence towards African Americans by police or other authority figures.

1. Well, mea culpa, yes I missed the obvious live video footage of inappropriate behaviour, but I'm talking about scrutiny of data, and so on that isn't backed up by obvious evidence.
2. The stories reinforce the status quo, which is bad and cuts both ways.  This means America will never need to be reformed, but somehow simultaneously that it is permanently racist and no progress has been made.

What needs to happen, IMO, is a bifurcation of television and new media news into "pop news" which is the equivalent of a broadsheet newspaper and "serious news".

It isn't just the stories the state and corporate news won't cover.

It's the bits they won't tell you and the bits they'll lead with.

Yesterday there were protests in front of BC hospitals. Here's the CBC's lead story:

'My last straw': Vancouver paramedic on brink of quitting due to hospital protests

In this one the CBC has found a guy who tell us he's a paramedic and he's not happy about these protests. He's telling us how these rowdies are making it difficult if not impossible for this noble fellow to do his job and people are maybe possibly dying or bleeding to death or both in the back of his ambulance while anti-vaxxers plug the streets and the hospital staff we were holding up as heroes not too long ago are now being demonized. 

OK, now lets hear from True North news on what they took away from the same protests:

Healthcare workers protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and “medical tyranny”

"

 

Thousands of Canadian nurses and healthcare workers took to the streets Wednesday to protest against vaccine mandates and take a stand against “medical tyranny.” The protests, organized by Canadian Frontline Nurses (CFN), were held in 18 cities across Canada on the same day the Ontario government announced its plans to impose a vaccine passport in the coming weeks.

CFN aims to “restore our freedoms and rights as Canadian citizens and reinstate the four ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice within nursing.”

In Toronto, approximately 1,000 demonstrators gathered outside the University Health Network Hospital and marched towards Queen’s Park.

Now I read both stories. Those who tell me they're my superiors would only read the state-authorized one from the CBC. So who has a better chance of getting the whole story? I say it's me. And now you. ;)

Found this on Ground News. Interestingly, no left wing media are covering it at all. Also interestingly, just to show you that the media embargo on describing race extends across all media, neither FOX nor Brietbart will describe the vandals/brawlers causing the chaos by any other words but 'young people' or 'teenagers'. Not even they dare to say the word "Black". As in, "Black youths brawled and assaulted people and smashed cars and equipment." But hey, they will show you the videos so you can see for yourself. The left wing media ignore the story completely. Just as they do other, similar stories of similar violence sprees which erupt on a regular basis in the US.

I'm pretty sure that's happened at six flags before. At first, I thought you were resurrecting an old story. 

The way I remember the story the first time around it was the same thing.

But speaking on the way all media has to walk on egg shells when noticing the race of perps unless they're white, this one kind of reminds of that wave of "Asian attack" stories.

And at first the insinuation was all over, everywhere that white neo-nazi types were beating up on these poor old Asian women and such. Then they started to post videos of who was doing it and when all the black faces continued to show up the story disappeared.

This kind of thing happens regularly, at fairs, at shopping malls, and on city streets. It's always gangs of dozens and sometimes hundreds of Black 'youths' but the race is NEVER reported by anyone. Just like the numerous brutal attacks on Asians were largely ignored unless the media could find a white man to blame. During the entirety of the BLM riots over more than a year with the media constantly tsk tsking about 'racism in the police department' no one ever actually demonstrated that racism, nor ever mentioned the disproportionate death toll among Black men at the hands of police was because of the hugely disproportionate violent crime rate among black men.

It seems even Obama gets censored if he says the wrong thing and it offends the progressive media agenda. ABC news did a big interview with him which played on Good Morning, America. One part they edited out was where he said open borders were unsustainable.

"Immigration is tough. It always has been because, on the one hand, I think we are naturally a people that wants to help others. And we see tragedy and hardship and families that are desperately trying to get here so that their kids are safe, and they're in some cases fleeing violence or catastrophe," Obama told co-host Robin Roberts in the excluded portion on Tuesday.

"At the same time, we're a nation state. We have borders. The idea that we can just have open borders is something that ... as a practical matter, is unsustainable," he added.

In scanning through this thread, it’s kind of sad that so few are concerned with an obvious conspiracy in the mass media.

There is  good reason why the product they offer up daily is called programming and programs.  On everything from vaccines and Covid to crimes, weather events(the weather people out here have taken to the phrase “atmospheric river” when describing hard rain) or even just gas prices, the same angle and bias is used.

There is no free thought left in the media, only approved thought.  It’s the only benchmark by which journalists are promoted or terminated.  So now you have blatantly criminal behaviour ignored and swept under the rug as long as the product they produce is “approved”.  
Don’t believe that?  I give you Chris Cuomo, John Griffin, and Don Lemon.

And it’s far worse than just in the media, as if that weren’t  bad enough. The Justice system, Education system, Medical system, Big Tech and of course the Political system are all infected with this poison.

Here's one that fits in this topic like a glove:

The Answer Is Obvious But We Still Need to Ask: Why Have No Corporate Media Journalists Covered the Biggest Story of the Year?

For those who don't click I'll give you the spoiler and tell you what the biggest story of the year is that the Corporate Media won't tell you about.

Hundreds of professional athletes are collapsing on the field shortly after getting the Covid jab. More than half of them are dying.

And I’ll bet that most of the posters here that listen to and trust the MSM have no idea about the dropping athletes and suspect it’s over exaggerated and there’s nothing to see here…

Until a relative or family member has a reaction to the vaccines.  But of course, then it’s too late for them.

His point was hundreds of athletes are collapsing. There is no official excuse and it's not being reported as a phenomena in the mainstream media but it happens shortly after vaccination. 

Maybe you need to read the introduction again.

Quote

I’m old enough to remember a time when a professional, college, or even high school athlete collapsing on the field would be major news. Depending on the name recognition of the athlete, stories would range from local to statewide to national. If it happened in other countries, their media would cover it thoroughly because even though athletes don’t make as much money abroad as they do in the United States, they are more often considered to be local heroes deserving of recognition.

Now, ask your nearest friend or family member how many athletes are known to have collapsed this year with cardiac arrests or other major ailments. We won’t even include standard sicknesses, just those that are potentially attributed to the Covid-19 vaccines such as myocarditis, blood clots, or neuropathy. Ask yourself the same question. In a normal year, we see anywhere from 30-70 such oddities among extremely healthy young athletes. How many have there been in 2021?

If you guessed anywhere under 300, you’d be wrong.

I've actually been keeping my own private list of stories that do make it to some media. Would you like to see it?

Also there are estimates that VAERS is under-reported by a multiple of at least 10 and recently the FDA has been pressuring to have organizations that have been registering reports to stop counting. Your guys in the corporate media don't report that either.

One I know of is that Canada sent China the bat virus samples much to the alarm of biological warfare experts...yet nobody says a darn thing...anymore.

Not anymore...well, unless it is to 'debunk' the 'wild conspiracy theory' that Canada did such a thing in the first place.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jan/28/blog-posting/websites-spin-conspiracy-theory-about-coronavirus-/

Nothing to see here folks...and take the vaccine...made by the same sorts of folks. What could go wrong?

It's anecdotal, not objective.  There's no indication what the 'normal' is or where he's getting his information.

His post talks about his memory - well that's a red flag.  His memory isn't useful to this, it's not objective.  It's a non-starter.

No.  Any more than you would trust me to relate stories of my past and why things are wrong today.  It's a story, not a study.  

If you think somebody is stopping this from being broadcast because it's a major story that they want to stop, then you just don't understand how it works.

You want to call all these stories of serious adverse reactions nothing more than anecdotes but before you start expressing your "expertise" on that maybe you should see what you're talking about. Here, I'll give you a quick sample:

Televised news tends to be the worst. Some big news channels are much better than others in my opinion, FOX is much better than the worst of the worst CNN. Most of the important stories on all of the big networks are very constrained in time and making space for commercial breaks trumps in depth coverage of these stories. It's more about grabbing the attention of the viewer than honest unbiased reporting.

News stories should be covered warts and all but that's rarely the case most of the time. A good example was mentioned earlier here when violent attacks were happening against asians . It was a big story until videos showed that an awful lot of the attackers were black. No mention of that fact by the MSM because it doesn't help their leftist narrative.

There are better sources out there and we can draw our own conclusions from them.

The Proud Boys is a far-right neo-fascist organization that admits only men as members and promotes and engages in political violence. It is based in the United States and has a presence in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

But the media won't tell you that.  

I'll rather settle for no protection.  Standing next to these guys I might as well paint a target on me ^_^

Interesting. Far-right neo-fascist eh? Prove it. Show me. And while you're at it, show me the political violence they get into.

I'll be waiting...

Personally, I suspect the conservative fear of journalism predates the invention of language.

What journalism?

When a political party pays the media, like they do in Canada, that's not journalism.

Or is the mocking of CNN the pee in your cornflakes? Who's afraid if that sort of thing is what bothers you? Not us mockers.
