The Politics of The Media Use of Code Words

[Little-Acorn]

The sop of the Media using the word 'teens' in reference to a certain group when they commit mayhem of one sort or another...from riots, to brutual violent assaults--etc. and so on and so forth continues unabated.

The question is why does the media fell the necessity to use a 'code word' to describe criminal suspects...particuarly when in many cases a search is on for the perps?

They're afraid of liberal fanatics such as the ones on this board (and in many other places, look around you) calling them "racist" for reporting far more crimes by blacks, than by whites.

Basically, they have been intimidated by the usual liberal liars... many of whom are members of the press themselves, or are being given an aura of respectability they don't deserve, by the press (See Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, etc.)

It's kind of ironic. A few leftist fanatics gibbering on and calling people "racist" when they aren't, normally wouldn't be a big deal. Normal people are smart enough to ignore such wild-eyed lunks. But when the lunks are in the media, or are being showcased by the media to a huge degree that they don't merit, they have a sheen of respectablility, and people tend to believe their lies.

And now we find even members of the media, even those who genuinely aren't racist, cowering in fear at the thought their fellow lunks might broadcast that they are racists. They are far more afraid of getting called racists, than of actually BEING racists.

The media works for sensationalism and ratings, not news and truth. And now the ones who have lived by that sword, are dying by it. And taking the rest of us with them, by not reporting the truth.

So basically, what you're saying is that you don't think media is racist enough for your tastes.

See? There goes one now!

heh heh........I have challeged liberals to debate me on whether or not reporting black crime is racist...so far none have been willing to do so.

The media has been honest enough to admit they do not report the race of black criminals because they do not want to make the black community look bad.....that is the sort of stupidity that dominates most of the mainstream aka alphabet media.....I think a better course of action would be to wake up the black community (if that is possible)and put some pressure on them to police their youth....do all those black mamas not care what their childrens are doing? Just before one is executed they all say the same thing.....I love him....perhaps love is not enought....perhaps when you spare the rod your child might end up doing things he would not have done he had some discipline and parental guidance? I could be wrong....just my opinion.

This of course is much more than just a issue of public safety....but public safety should be of paramount importance ....not only to the media but to government officials who are sworn to protect the public.

Yet these elected officials and the media subjugate the public's safety to an overiding concern of being politically correct.

It's "racist" to identify a black as a black, got it.

Yes....that seems to be the gist of the liberal position.

The media likes to sell stories. Just like art has people who sell gimmicky art, the media needs its buzzwords. They sell.
b
Put "man kills man" no one cares. Put "Muslims kill racist" and all of a sudden people want to know what it's about.

They play on the fears that people have.

Post 9/11 and Bush said "War on Terror" and "al Qaeda" every day. Soon films were using Islamic or Arabic music for the bad guy scenes, all you need to do in mention a Muslim and everyone gets the message of badness.

People buy this nonsense, so the media sells it to them.

This is True, look at the Trayvon Martin case . Media blasted the story that an innocent little black kid went buy skittles and a drink and got gunned down by a viscous racist.

When in fact a young punk initiated a confrontation that ended in his death at the hands of an idiot.

You were right on target until you claimed the Honorable George Zimmerman was a idiot.....which even if true has nothing to do with that case...but irregardless what makes you think he is a idiot?

Only an idiot wouldn't know that he had a duty to die if a black thug wanted to kill him. A sensible person would have just laid there, taking the beating, and the authorities would have sent appropriate condolences to the family.

I think you are off on the wrong track here.....even the media has said the reason they do it is in order not to make the black community look bad...yes they admitted that.................do they not understand people know when they refuse to identify the race of a perp that he is invariably black....do they really believe people are so stupid as not to have figured out the game the media plays? All they are doing is destroying their credibility.

Let me be so presumptous to ax you a question girl....if you were walking down the street and a black teenager slammed a brick into your head....would you want the police and the media to put out a description of your attacker or just say to the public we are looking for a teenager who slammed a brick into a victim's head.

Would you want them to tell the height of the perp? Would you want them to tell what kind of clothes the perp was wearing? Would you want them to tell the approx weight of the perp aka if he was skinny, fat, slender or whatever.

In other words would you want the most detailed description possible of your attacker put out? ..... or would you just want a generic description of ---aka.....a 'teen' attack a woman with a brick put out.

Maybe in your case I should also ask...would you really want your attacker apprehended?

It is time to put pressure on the media to report the news, all of the news, the facts of what happend irregardless of the race, color, sexual orientation or national origin of the perps......and quit kowtowing to special interest groups who want to protect the identities of criminals out of some perverted fear of stigmatizing a certain community....which btw could not have any worse reputation than it already has.

You mean whenever white people riot after a sporting event the media calls them "overzealous fans" instead of "rioters"?

You might have a point there if something like that ever happened....I mean at least more than once every hundred years.

Thanks for admitting to it

Way too many want to ignore this...understandably the liberals do...but many politically correct republicans also play this game....but more and more is coming out on this and people are outraged....the simple fact is that the media are not doing their job...too often they censor, spin or fail to report relevant facts. This is absolutely outrageous and demands the attention of everyone....our congressmen need to get involved....a congressional investigation on how the media consistently ...not only fails to do their job...but intentionally mislead the public...aka the Zimmerman affair.

The MSM's unabashed censorship

Maybe the races of the suspects and victims don't matter because the crime is what matters, and that is what the news is supposed to focus on. You seem to be mad at the media for not helping to start a race war.

Also, there aren't any "liberal" media. It's almost all owned by the richest 1%. None of it is designed to properly inform the public.

The New Media Monopoly describes the cartel of five giant media conglomerates who now control the media on which a majority of Americans say they most rely. These five are not just large — though they are all among the 325 largest corporations in the world — they are unique among all huge corporations: they are a major factor in changing the politics of the United States and they condition the social values of children and adults alike.

These five huge corporations — Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch’s News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) — own most of the newspapers, magazines, books, radio and TV stations, and movie studios of the United States.

These Big Five (with General Electric’s NBC a close sixth) do not manufacture automobiles, or clothing, or nuts and bolts. They manufacture politics and social values. The media conglomerates have been a major force in creating conservative and far right politics in the country. They have almost single-handedly as a group, in their radio and television dominance, produced a coarse and vulgar culture that celebrates the most demeaning characteristics in the human psyche — greed, deceit, and cheating as a legitimate way to win (as in the various “reality” shows).

It is not just national economics that is at stake — though their power has led to the government’s somnolence of anti-trust action. Nor is it just the neglect of broadcast media giantism by the government agencies that by law are still required to operate “in the public interest.” The public interest is to have the country’s largest broadcasting system in the world provide diversity in news, opinion, and commentary that serves all Americans, right, left, and independent, as well as access to their local stations as well as true choices in national programs.

What is at stake is American democracy itself. A country without all the significant news, points of view, and information its citizens need to be informed voters is risking the loss of democratic rights. Voters without genuine choices and without the information they need to choose what meets their own needs and wishes has produced something alarming: on Election Day our voters are forced to vote for what is the narrowest political choices among all industrial democracies of the world.

Ridiculous...that is like saying that the Jews of Germany when attacked by Germans.....that was just a crime and that it was not important that the attackers were Germans and the victims were Jewish....and that no one had a right to know that Germans were attacking Jews.

The public has a right to know who the perps are....if for no other reason than it might help them to avoid such situations...it is a issue of public safety.

Anytime a crime...(particuarly violent crimes when a individual is attacked, assaulted etc.) has people of different racial make ups involved...it needs to be pointed out...whether it be white perps or black perps...that is the only way to stop hate crimes...yet what we see is hypocrisy...white perps are identified...black perps are protected aka not identified properly....thus white hate crimes are exposed...black hate crimes are covered up.....and there are many,many, more black on white crimes than white on black....a white on black crime is very rare in fact.


You claim..........."also, there aren't any "liberal" media. It's almost all owned by the richest 1%. None of it is designed to properly inform the public."

I say>>>>No Liberal Media? What bullshit....but you are right about it not being designed to properly inform the public...and yes Fox News does the best but far from being ideal.

You will get the best news on the internet...though even here more censorship is coming about at an increasing pace.

I didn't "claim" anything. I stated a fact and provided proof. Read those links. Do you see the lists of subsidiaries? Add them all up. All of that is owned by only 6 corporations, News Corporation being one of them. The seventh, Bertelsmann, a German company that printed Nazi propaganda during World War II, is now the world's largest publisher of English-language books. Those 6 corporations are not "Liberal". They are wealthy businesses designed to profit as much as possible by selling mindless shit to a languid public. NONE of the corporate news channels are going to tell the American people what they really need to know to be informed voters.

You are right that "FOX is the best of them", if you define "best" as "the most profitable for playing to the lowest common denominator of the viewing population."

Are you really that stupid? Just axin mah man...bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa

But really? Is your racism showing much? Just axing mah man. heh heh

Irregardless let me break out mah color crayon.......aka................first of all there is no such thing as a white hispanic....that was an invention by the media when their intial report of Z being a white guy was shot down....that was their comeback...in order to try and preserve the lie that Z was a white racist.


Sanford police Investigator Chris Serino questioned Zimmerman about his identity three days after he mortally wounded black wanna be gangsta.

The questions came up as Serino, who is Puerto Rican and Italian-American, delved into the 28-year-old man's attitudes about race and ethnicity.

Zimmerman's responses offer a glimpse into his multifaceted self-perception. It was a perspective that differed greatly from the one that had been playing out across the country.

After the initial outcry over Trayvon's death, Zimmerman's father hand-delivered a letter to the Orlando Sentinel explaining his son was a "Spanish-speaking" minority who grew up in a multiracial family.





Media organizations then scrambled to reclassify Zimmerman as a white Hispanic and claimed: Hispanics can be of any race. bwaaaaaa

"Every time I see my photo, I ask myself, 'What is a white Hispanic?' I've never heard that before," Zimmerman told his sister, Susie, in Spanish during an April 22 phone call from the Seminole County Jail. "They can see in my photo. There is nothing white about me. I don't understand."

Public records show he consistently identified as Hispanic, but the only time he was listed as white was in the Feb. 26 Sanford police report. That is the story most people heard.

Dam brah so you saying that the police made up the whole white hispanic category then told the media to get on board? The media and the police are against the white man? Even the white police officer who labeled him?

The white police is looking to take down the white man with the help of the white media?

That is insidious

The Police Dept. listed him as white.


The media made up the 'white hispanic bullshit' later.....and then the police dept. under pressure from above went along and re-arrested Z after they had already invesigated him and found no probable cause to detain him and released him.

The media helps perpetuate the politics and myth of 'black victim-hood'...the hype, the media story and one that most media outlets ran with (the only exception being fox) was one of a evil white racist killing a unarmed black teenager innocently muching on skittles as he walked home....and then they showed a outdated photo of trayvon when he was like l2 yrs. old. Outrageous but most people ate it up...particuarly negroes and liberals.

"Irregardless" is not a word. The word is "regardless". Regardless of that, you can thank stupid racists and the big government/corporate media for creating "the knockout game". Someone saw a video without sound or context of someone hitting someone else on the street, then some racist wrote a blog about it being part of a racist black conspiracy to hurt poor sweet innocent little white people, then the national news reported on the blog as if it were real news, and then the "knockout game" became real because stupid people heard about it on the news and thought, "Hey, I'll do that." But the rate of violent crime in urban areas is a result of poverty, not race.
