Irish “Riot” vs BLM “Protest” Coverage Bias

Ireland witnessed its worst civil disorder in decades after rioters marauded through Dublin city center looting shops and setting buses and police cars on fire in a spate of violence that appeared to be triggered by a stabbing attack that injured three children.


Versus

quote:

MINNEAPOLIS — This city has become the center of a nation’s anger and frustration as the National Guard rumbles through its streets, protesters threaten more upheaval and many across Minnesota blame officials here for a bungled response to George Floyd’s death that over the last week has left the skyline in flames. The rage emanating from Minneapolis has spread to Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and dozens of other cities in a torrent of demands — many made peacefully, some not — for justice over the death of another black man at the hands of police. But that rancor is particularly deep here, where residents complain authorities stood down for too long while looters and rioters ran wild.



Does anyone else sense a bias in the media on the coverage of this? I wonder why that is?

“Rioters” vs “Protestors”, “marauded” vs “rumbles”, “violence” vs “upheaval”.

One group rioted about a convicted drug addict felon. The other rioted because an asylum seeking POS Raghead went Aloha Snackbar with a knife on elementary kids with their teacher…….not sure how you can equivicate these two situations.

The notion that there are independent journalists writing articles Un biased write ups is Un heard of . Have to give it to the democrats and foreign nations. They have managed to control the media and the republicans in a matter of 15-20 years . Just look at the president currently occupies that White House . I rest my case .

Nothing at all is surprising if you, like most of us on here, have had the epiphany and embraced the truth that we live in a wholly controlled illusion of liberty and choice.

We all have seen the writers bias in journalism and it's steady increase in diet to every facet of life.

And if MAGA is involved,

I think they are very comparable.

I can see the difference you see in the reason for the flash point. And I agree. People up to sketchy shite =\= children and women being randomly stabbed.

But the people losing their shite and rioting in both cases both feel they have reason to lose their shite.

Get some old fellas from Ireland. They remember how to make bombs.

No they don't. The St. George case was orchestrated and made up to be something it never was. Chauvin didn't kill George. No matter what the paid off coroner said, the evidence is clear. No contusions or broken bones in Floyd's neck. Chauvin was a d-head, and used excessive force after a man was cuffed and on the ground, but at most, his actions were not letting the paramedics treat Floyd. He didn't crush his windpipe and keep him from breathing. That's as big a lie as 'Hands up, Don't shoot!' was with Michael Brown. Never happened.

The entire construct of blacks being hunted in the streets is factually without merit. It doesn't matter what people FEEL, they're just being lied to and stirred up to act violently.

That's entirely the opposite of what's taking place in Ireland. People are literally and legitimately fed up with excessive forced 'migration' by those who share no common values or history. This is the sad result of gov actions. So called 'leaders' who are doing "The Right Thing".

I am not going off in the weeds with you on this. I don’t disagree. My point was a majority of the rioters BELIEVED they had reason to riot. Whether lies to or not. Initially. You talk about coroner reports etc. that was all later. Just like BLM becoming just a reason to riot. It all devolved.

The coroner report only validated what was known, yet the gov still pretended it was Chauvin that killed Floyd.

But ignore all that. Going back to Zimmerman and Trayvon, Michael Brown, and a host of other incidents, the MSM as well as gov officials and 'activists' ALL coordinated the lie that 'white, racist men were hunting blacks down in the streets.' That narrative was allowed to sit and grow, unchallenged, for YEARS. Sure, the mistrust of the police went back decades, but the animosity got amped up to 11 in the past 10-15 years. Then Floyd happened.

None of this has any bearing on the events in Dublin. Totally unrelated, other than the officials in gov & media lied to the public about what was actually happening.

Those kids and adults in Dublin really did get stabbed by an 'immigrant' from Africa. Legalized or not, he was by no means a product of Irish society. And people across Europe are sick of it.



And remember, THIS ^^^ is what passes as 'journalism' in America.

Look at it. See the sheer smugness and arrogance on these national network reporters.

True. Totally different. All I am saying is the people doing the rioting believe they had a valid reason. Rioters can be wrong.


You are doing a post game analysis of a riot with BLM. This Irish riot is still going on but it appears MUCH more cut and dry. Totally cut and dry.


Our problem has been assimilate has become a bad word.

Instead of looting they need to beat, maim, and kill the ‘migrants’ committing these crimes.
