Hey hey, kids! Here's an interesting bit on the sorry state of race relations and the utter lack of integrity in American Standard Media, Inc.
I'm always amused by these instances of blatant media bias because they make me think of good ol' Noam "You Are Being Propagandized" Chomsky. Just look at the story: a guy gets offered a ride, then dragged to death under a truck. But he's a white man killed by black men, so it doesn't warrant headlines. It was even in the same town: lovely Jasper, Texas. So: which side is putting out the propaganda? The side that asserts that being an American of African descent automatically confers a superior victim status, or the side that views all murder victims as equally newsworthy? The side that treats the historical victims of racial intolerance as a single martyred group, or the side that prizes human individuality? The side that wants to criminalize our very thoughts and more severely punish those who murder with "hate" inside their private minds, or the side that condemns all examples of extraordinary cruelty as equally deplorable and therefore equally subject to severe punishment in our courts?
Well Noam, what do you think? Is this a spectacular achievement of propaganda or what?
