— Ace We Don't Want to Know, and We Can't Report It If We Never Discover It, so Let's Just Give this One a Miss.
You've seen this, of course, in the Gosnell case. The media suspects the details of the case would not be helpful for the pro-partial-birth-abortion left and therefore does not endeavor to collect the details. You can't be charged with failing to disclose what you intentionally made yourself ignorant of.
We also see this in the case of Dzhohkar Tsarnaev. Why did USAToday alone get the scoop on the radical mosque and its myriad terrorist connections?
Not just hard work and beating everyone to the punch. Though they should be credited with that.
No, they got the scoop because other media organizations realized The News Would Probably Not Help the Left and hence gave it a pass.
Meanwhile, the NYT, for example, spends its journalistic dollars to interview the Lovely Lads' former high-school classmates and other such The Human Side soft-soap.
USAToday went to where the news was likely to be; the New York Times did not.
This is not because the New York Times didn't know there was some news to be had there. Rather, it's because they had the same notion USAToday had -- that there would be a scoop there -- and deliberately chose to not land that scoop, preferring to write stories about Tsarnaev's dreams of wrestling and Tamarlan's dreams of... well, I'd imagine not having his fucking face run over by a car driven by his brother would up there on his list of dreams.
When the right says the media "hasn't covered a story," the media's defenders will sometimes point to a brief stub of an article listing the very basic facts announced by officials on the matter and claim victory. "See, they 'covered' it," they claim.
But an organization doesn't devote virtually any journalist resources to a story accidentally. They make a choice. They choose which stories to suffocate for want of media oxygen.
If you're reading the New York Times, you're not reading the news. You haven't been reading the news there for quite some time.
What you're reading is a supplementary brief to the DNC's and liberal coalition's newsletter-- the footnotes to that newsletter.
But not the news. Never the news, and by design.
Bonus: Iowahawk parodized the left making a Holden Caufiled comparison last night, before the NYTimes decided to do it for real.

Does the left honestly think that when (if I may, VERY ironically, loosely borrow a phrase from "Lawrence of Arabia") they defeat the Christians that the Muslims will sit down quietly under them? Has Western egocentrism SO infected the left that they are that blind to reality?

Had an idiot woman try to tell me Christians were responsible for as much terrorism as Muslims today and that Islamic countries oppress woman no more than western ones. When I cited examples of why she was fucking retarded beyond all reason, she retorted with a lame personal attack, and I shit you not signed her response with, "-vagina". Because having and acting like a pussy is apparently a trump card for reality. Sweet baby Jesus people are so damn stupid no wonder this country is doomed.

Theres a different... pathology... at play here.
Post WWII, the World has not been able to affect America in a meaninful way... Korea was a tie, but no effect... VietNam a Loss... and no effect... Desert Storm? A tie (because we didn't finish it)... Iraq and Afganistan? The US Military is at war, the People are not...
So there are generations on the Left, who do not really believe that what they do will have any effect... that some Magical Duex Ex Machina will come and save America from their stupidity.
ie... they no longer believe in cause and effect... just perception.
So they will admit that Islam itself, is at war with the West. That its fundamental writing and beliefs are NOT compatable with our way of life... because the Left (in their Hubris) believes that THEY will not be effected.

Ever since at least the Kennedy administration the term "plausible deniability" has been a go-to phrase. I've heard it so many times from Men in Black to Independence Day to 24.

And this is nothing new. Pulitzer winning American journalists hid the terror famine in the Ukraine during the 30s because it would have made Socialism - which they favored in America - look bad. So they hid one of the greatest atrocities in human history.
When Socialism arrived in America, from that point onward our journalists became willing propagandists for it. The entire twentieth century must be viewed through that prism - journalists were only pro-American in so far as it advanced Socialism.

Cannot resist OT: I wasn't sure what to make of Cruz at first, but I am turning into a massive Ted-head. The guy is really smart, really determined and working his ass off to block the lefty agenda. Thank you, Texas voters!
The one thing I haven't changed on is the thought that as far as wooing "Hispanic" votes goes, as some on the right expect Cruz might do on a national scale, he's a nonstarter. Trust me on this.
I live in Hispanic central, a.k.a. Alta Mexico, a.k.a. The People's Soviet Socialist Republic of Commiefornia, and you can't live here for long without realizing certaint things about Hispanics. First off being how incredibly non-monolithic and variegated a group they are. And second off, how much many of the various Hispanic sub-ethnicities don't like each other one bit. There are massive internal schisms.
Cuban-Americans like Cruz are a small, and increasingly small, percentage of American Hispanics. The absolutely overwhelming preponderance of American Hispanics (native-born, legal immigrant, illegal immigrant, what have you) today are of Mexican origin.
And from what I can tell, Mexican-origin Hispanics here in Commiefornia, where there are a metric fuckton of them and more of them every blessed day, don't give a single pea-sized shit about Cuba. And don't consider Cuban-origin status to be of any particular relevance to themselves, politically or culturally or otherwise.
Note that every word of this critique about Cruz being not necessarily able to get traction with Hispanics is equally applicable to Marc-down Rube-io, also out of a Cuban background.
If you want the bulk of U.S. Hispanics to feel genuine solidarity and sympathy with a nominee, you better go get a Mexican nominee. Just the facts, m'am.

/if you put 100 reporters in a room with an Islamic terrorist, would they see an Islamic terrorist, or talk to him about his work with the tea party and his hatred of abortion? I think we all know the answer to that.

I worked for a guy that was Mexican in all but place of birth. He even said that he was more Mexican than American. You would be surprised at the depth of racism in their own culture among themselves.
Can't grow a beard? You are an inferior being with insufficient Spanish heritage. Flatter nose? Same. There are 18 different 'classes' in Mexico. And the lighter you are, the better off you are. Hell, there are some in Mexico that don't speak Spanish, and are the lowest of the low.
The US is the least racist nation on the planet. But the leftist traitors would have us think otherwise. And they are the ones teaching our kids that.

Are you kidding? Kathy Boudin got 3 (and really, we can only credit her with assists), and we made her an Adjunct. Dzhohkar got 4 - he's a Department Head, at the very least. Plus, the man suffered a great personal loss - his brother recently died, in case you haven't heard.

You said LIVs don't read, and I said that in fact some of them are highly educated, do read, and consider themselves well-informed. It's what they read that's the problem. Posted by: rickl at April 24, 2013 08:15 PM (sdi6R)
Exactly. My liberal boss subscribes to the NY Times, reads the novels on their best-seller list and listens to NPR on the way into work. She considers far more well-informed than some Honey Boo Boo watching yahoo - or a Fox news viewer. which to her is the same thing. How do you challenge the beliefs of people like that? If you say, "No, that isn't true" and they ask "well, what's your source for that?" and you say "Fox" or "National Review" or "a conservative blog" they simply shut you off (as I do when a moonbat cites Media Matters or MSNBC).
They consider us to be the propagandized ones, while Paul Krugman and all the other asshats at the NY Times are clearsighted and reasonable.
Which also explains the refusal of the MSM to cover inconvenient truths. When you start lying, you have to keep up the story. If cracks in the narrative start appearing, people might start thinking you've been lying to them all along. And that just wouldn't do, would it?Posted by: Donna V. at April 24, 2013 04:32 PM (R3gO3)

Holy crap, I was at the Denver Public Schools website to try and look something up and right at the top of their page was a link to translate the site to Arabic.
Really? Really? We've reached the point in this country where we have to have things translated to Arabic in addition to Spanish? WTF. GO HOME IF YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO LEARN ENOUGH ENGLISH TO GET BY.

>>>If you want the bulk of U.S. Hispanics to feel genuine solidarity and sympathy with a nominee, you better go get a Mexican nominee. Just the facts, m'am.

Nah, I don't think so. And ya know why? Because this is fucking America, not Mexico, that's why. I am starting to get real fucking fed up with whoring ourselves out to the Mexicans. Or to any other group as well. If you can't deal with becoming an American then go the fuck back to the shithole you came from! On the other hand, if you want to become an American, then take the oath and we can be brothers. Your choice. But leave your fucking flag at home.

I meant that conservatives are individuals and don't generally have the hive mentality. (although sometimes it can appear that way. Even here.)
We don't operate by looking at our neighbor and making decisions based on what they do. we evaluate on our own what to do and how to do it.
which is why we're so bad at counteracting the hive mind. We don't think the way they do. (and I use think in very broad terms)
Libs are like deer or other herd animals. conservatives are more like badgers or raccoons. clever, mean, good to their kids but stay to themselves.

The NY Times is claiming that Tsarnaev was found with an M-4 when he was arrested, suggesting he obtained it from the MIT officer he assassinated.
Has anyone heard this from any other sources? Why didn't the brothers use it during their shoot-out (incompetence)? Why would a campus cop be carrying a friggin M-4?

I believe that in the summer of 1976 the old Gove junior high school burned after roofers accidentally set it on fire. My family says I am crazy. I can find photos at the Denver Public Library website that show the building being demolished and it does look like part of it was burned. But I can find no articles that I can point to and say 'see I remember it right'
It's dumb but I hate being told I am wrong by my family because they are annoying.

Because the thought of having not only your own life, but the lives of your spouse and children, examined by the media turds looking for any dirt, any scandal, anything they can use to make you a laughingstock does not appeal to most of us. There are tough individuals who would be willing to stand up to the media onslaught, but who on earth would want their families treated the same way the Palins were? Good God, I never understand why Ann Romney's horses were considered to be such a huge joke.

I was in school in Boulder in 1976, and have lived in the state most of my life and I've never heard of the Gove school. Sorry for being no help.

The Main Stream Media sells us turd sandwiches when we desire a real meat sandwich. We want truth and they sell us blue sky. I could care less if whats her face is in this great movie or whats his name just got his star on the walk of fame. Really who cares about the useless news. I want to know what the Mafia Union just charged me as a tax payer.ooh I mean the Government Public Union..Maybe how they get 10,000 pay checks 10,000 per month retirement and super great Medical on my dime. We get stuck with "Boo Hoo wouldn't want to be you Shim Sham Care" which will be our death sentence. Thats how they will solve the Retirement Bubble my friends..Gov doesn't have to pay benefits if we are dead? mmmm..Ding Dong the witch is Dead..Yep F**K the NEW YORK TIMES!
I want the truth about Islam and how they have murdered their fellowman for 1400 years..shhh..They are raised with murderous and radical ideals. They want World Domination over their Fellowman. They are the Beast of the East..They are the Ennui. They have not contributed to the betterment of their neighbor. They are the weed in the Garden that needs to be pluck out and burned. They are Terrorists! They hide behind the veil of moderate Islam so when we are not looking then the hateful Muslim shows up to kill us. They are not a religion but a Ideology formed from someone that made up lies.
Brave Americans need to understand that we need to Clean our Neighborhoods and our Government. One agency at a Time until our American House is Clean...I am not talking done by the Government Clean but get down right 1 in clean..not 20 footer clean...You know and understand what I mean..Look at the fixed up car-Looks great 20 feet away but thats where it ends. The Contours Car clean is a tip top shape one inch sparkling masterpiece.
New York Times-They are a 20 footer paper..seems great from a distance but when you look close then you realize its a crappy turd sandwhich after all..F**K the New York Times! That paper belongs in the Kings Court-The King of Fools located at 1600 Pennslyvania Avenue..right around the corner from Hesistation Hill.
