They didn't simply report the facts.
Uhh, yes they did. What they didn't do was turn this story into a race story, like you seem to have wanted them to.
This is the point! What is wrong with you? Are you dense?
This is what is commonly referred to as irony...
They made the crux of the story about the bus driver and the school's policy toward intervening in a physical altercations
Yes, how dare CNN make the crux of the story about the fact an adult stood by and watched a child get brutally assaulted, based upon the fact there are no rules or law requiring him to act? :roll:
That SHOULD be the crux of the story! Not your race-baiting desires. You are engaging in race-baiting right now, that's all it is.
and made the brutal beating of the white kid by three black kids merely incidental.
The entire story revolves around the idea of three KIDS beating another KID. Why are you injecting race into this?
And they did this in the wake of all the very recent racial controversy surrounding the Zimmerman-Martin incident.
So? CNN and every other news outlet spun that story, which there is very little evidence race was involved, into a story about race. It was not right of them to do so. So your argument is because they were wrong then, they are spinning this story by reporting the facts like they should? Do you not see how absolutely dumb that position is?
What is ridiculous is your failure to recognize that, not only was this an exceptionally brutal beating as school bus beatings go
Of course it was. Which is why the story should be about why nothing was done to stop it, not what race the children were.
but that race is a GLARING factor in it, so glaring that CNN went to great pains to minimize the exposure of the victim's race.
WHAT?! Seriously, what the hell are you talking about?
CNN said:
Police say the youths attacked the 13-year-old after he told officials at their dropout prevention school that one of them had tried to sell him drugs.
This had nothing to do with race, this was about drugs and alerting authorities.
Did you not even bother to read the article you posted?
Oh, I'm sorry!... Am I having a "racist attitude" because I happen to notice such blatant racial bias in news reporting?
Yes. Because there is no racial bias in this article. The fact you seem offended race isn't mentioned, the fact black people aren't being criticized as racist, very much suggests a racist attitude.
How about if you stop hiding your head in the sand and take a good hard look at reality?
I shudder to think what life must be life looking through your version of reality. Any person who thinks not mentioning race in a story which was not about race is racially spinning a story is not the kind of person whose reality I want to live in.
Actually, it DOES MATTER. It matters quite a bit. This is the point!
No, no it does not. Ignoring for a moment that CNN is not a person, and that stories are written by different people (meaning you'd have to show direct evidence of the writer of this particular article only focusing on race in certain instances), the fact of the matter is simply reporting the facts is not spin.
Let's put it this way. Let's say you're a liar. You lie 95% of the time. But then let's say you actually tell the truth the other 5%. Under your theory, even that 5% is a lie, because you spin the truth the other 95%. Do you see why your position here is ridiculous?
Look, I understand what you're getting at. You want to play the poor white victim, who never gets any respect from the media. These awful terrible black people picked on some poor white boy and the media never cares about white people. I understand your point. It's just nonsense.
Once again, you cowered from answering the question, just like the intellectual ***** you are:
It's a stupid and irrelevant question. Not answering stupid and irrelevant questions doesn't say anything about my intellect, except for the fact I recognize stupid and irrelevant questions.
Do you really believe that, had the racial composition been reversed in this incident, that CNN would have presented the story in the same exact way?
YES or NO?
As I continue to say, what may happen in your hypothetical does not matter. We are discussing THIS story. In the George Zimmerman case, yes, I think the news organizations spun it as a racial issue to sell. But that is completely irrelevant to the fact that, in this case, they simply reported what happened. And your position that simply reporting what happened, and not dishonestly pushing a race card, means they are spinning the story is one of the most asinine hypothesis I have seen on Internet forums.
THIS IS THE POINT!!!! They would not have presented the story this way had the races been reversed. They would have made a huge racial production out of the incident. They would have had Jesse, and Al, and the rest of the black racial demagogues on Piers Morgan howling about how white people expect black children to sit at the back of the bus, and demanding that the white bus driver, along with the white thugs, be charged with a hate crime.
Do you really think this would not have happened?
You really do dislike black people, don't you? That's the only possible explanation I can come up with on why you are so insistent about making this story about race, when it is clearly not about race.
