Why Isn’t The Media Condemning All the People Supporting the Dallas Shooter? by John Ziegler.
[T[he fragmentation of modern media has transformed our country into the Divided States of America where we all now live within in our own little tribes, encased in separate bubbles of self-serving reality. Sadly, the horrific events in Dallas and the public reaction to the deaths of the innocent police officers which resulted from them, are further proof of the dangers of this reality. …
Obama and the media promised an era of racial healing in 2008 and 2012. Instead what we got is just before each election, when the Democrats need black votes, something like this seems to occur.
I was simply horrified when I did a simple search of the Twitter trend “Micah Xavier Johnson.” While it is absurd to blame an entire race of people for the nonsense that a few nutjobs might spew on social media, the insanely positive reaction voiced by black people (and even a few very liberal whites) for the killings was nowhere near an aberration. …
To my knowledge (and I have searched hard to find it), not one major “black leader” has had the guts to call out this outrageous reaction. It was bad enough when blacks cheered O.J. Simpson largely without rebuke. At least he was a well-known celebrity and his crimes, while horrendous, were not directed at our entire societal system. This is a whole new level of insanity and delusion. …
A large part of why this is the case is because, in the modern media environment, black people, just like many other demographic groups, have been able to live in a world where they almost never are forced to ingest information which challenges what they want to believe about the world. When “Black Lives Matter” is still allowed to have wide-spread credibility even after “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot!” turned out to be a total lie, then truth means absolutely nothing.
The double standard:
Can you imagine the outrage in the news media if the Charleston murderer Dylann Roof had been widely supported online by whites and no one in the white community, or conservative media, had immediately condemned that response? It would obviously be a huge part of the story’s entire narrative. In this situation that’s not allowed because, under the media’s absurd rules of political correctness, it would somehow be “racist” to criticize black people. As George W. Bush used to say, this is a classic example of the “soft bigotry of low expectations.”
