And Leonard Pitts, the King Affirmative Action Jackson, is too lazy to Google “Kermit Gosnell” (as though he had to, the liar)
“Get over yourself” King Lennie advises . . lol. is that the best you’ve got, Token?
I guess their paper didn’t carry stories about Sandy Hook either?
My, my, my......Political Correctness prevails even about murdering children when the Doctor is Black.
So, since this guy doesn’t report on homicide trials outside of Detroit, we can look forward to him ignoring any Tragone Martin stories and any mass murderers of school children stories.
What a LAME excuse. Guy should be embarrassed to lie about this.
When will the USDoJ Civil Rights Division address the violation of the civil rights of these new citizens?
Does this mean Detroiters are unfamiliar with the darling Trayvon Martin?
I wonder if it would have made any difference if Gosnell were white?
The first quote is from Detroit Free Press editor Brian Dickerson (bdickerson@freepress.com), explaining why the Free Press has not covered the Gosnell trial. Meanwhile, his paper, including Dickerson in his own often pious columns, is willing to cover homicide cases in Newton Connecticut and Florida (Trayvon Martin) at great length.“The reason I haven’t written about Mr. Gosnell is the same reason Philadelphia journalists don’t write about homicide trials in Detroit”
There is a reason people talk about “the media” - meaning, generally, nationwide journalism - as a single entity. The manifestation of that reason is the wall-to-wall coverage of Newton, CT and some aspects of Zimmerman/Martin - and the far more limited coverage of the Gosnell story. The uniformity of the nationwide coverage is easily explained by the fact that journalists are in cahoots with each other. This is not a debatable issue but a matter of fact. The organization by which they coordinate operates openly. It is called, “the Associated Press.” Associated - get it? The national journalism institutions are not independent of each other, they are associated.It has always been the policy of the federal government to promote the dissemination of news; that was true in the first half of the Nineteenth Century, and it is still true today. Newspapers were preferentially mailed among newspaper printers from early in the Republic. But Adam Smith warned in 1776 about collusion:
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Wealth of Nations (Book I, Ch 10). . . and what is the Associated Press newswire, if not a cyberspace meeting of all major journalism institutions - one which has essentially been in continuous session since before the Civil War? It is only to be expected that after more than a century and a half of such a “meeting,” “conspiracy against the public” should be routine. And it is likewise inevitable that a conspiracy against the public by journalists should propagandize in favor of the “objectivity” and indispensability of journalism in general and the AP in particular. And that such propaganda should denigrate the virtues of those who do things in order to elevate those who merely criticize. And that telling only the convenient portion of the truth should be a standard propaganda technique.The AP does its deeds in the open - everyone knows that they have ruled out “illegal alien” as nomenclature, for the obvious purpose of denigrating American citizenship. What could be more obvious than that that is "a conspiracy against the public?"

Hey with all the murders in Detroit to cover the guy does have a point /s/
