Well, well, well.

So whose rhetoric is giving aid and comfort to anti-Semites, again?

This incident has been reported a bit in other media.

It can be used to show how the media distort news to fit their agenda.

Notably, in all but this article, NONE of the articles include the “The mayor says you Jews are the reason we’re getting sick.” quote.

MOST don’t mention the names of the accused and leave the impression that they are right-wing nutjobs by mentioning criticism of Trump or other Republicans in the next paragraph.

The MSM’s behavior is, in some ways, more harmful than the behavior of the two attackers.

I worked as a contractor once with a lot of people from New York City and the area.

I have NEVER in my life cared about who belonged to what religion, and never had discussed it at work- but with these people it was a daily topic of conversation, especially about who was Jewish.

It’s all because of DeBlasio’s hateful rhetoric./s

“...The couple were held at the scene by members of the Shomrim communal security agency until police arrived to take them into custody. “

Shomrim went easy on them. Often, when anyone assaults a Hasid in Williamsburg, he yells out “Chapsim!” and a few dozen of the faithful come streaming out of nearby houses and stomp the perp into unconsciousness, if not worse. Try identifying 20 identical assailants in a lineup, and good luck.

Yeah, there is a pretty high overlap between the security folks in the jewelry business and Shomrim.

Zaydeh was probably in the Irgun, which is OK.

One of my grandfathers* was, too.

(* or do you say “one grandfather”?)

It’s highly inadvisable to pull Superman’s cape or spit into the wind, too. Fall down and break an arm again sometime, lady.

I think NBC's treatment of Mike Pence and the boxes is the perfect example of how the MSM operates. They reported three facts:

1. Mike Pence was filmed helping to offload boxes of hospital supplies.
2. Some of the boxes were empty.
3. Pence was caught on tape asking if he could carry the empty boxes for the camera.

Technically, all three facts are true. But as we know now, there are other facts that reveal that the empty boxes were left in the van, and that he was joking, shutting the van door himself immediately after making the remark.

Then of course, there's the method of delivery: The MSM releases the misleading story loudly, and a couple days later, if they are caught, they release the retraction quietly.

I don’t disagree with you.

Someone needs to start to categorize and name this kind of propaganda.

1. Omission. (Skipping the quote)
2. Deceptive editing (Pence)

If we name it and categorize it in a scholarly fashion, be real handy at calling there bs.

Well, what it's always been called before is "taking things out of context." But perhaps that's not specific enough. To me, it's a little like Sampling. You know, how singers today take bits and pieces from an older song and use it to enhance their own?

What these "Journalists" do is create their own song, their own narrative, and then borrow just enough of their target's material to weave it into their narrative to give it the appearance of validity. Then they put a Guiding Headline on there to set the reader's expectation and steer his perceptions.
