    Did I SAY "substantially?" Why would it have have gotten ANY less coverage if he was white?

    So no evidence of getting less coverage. Got it

    Evidence such as an alternative universe where Floyd is white? The point is, that if you thought that it would have gotten the exact same coverage if he was white, you would have already said so by now! :roflol:

    Why should race make a difference?

    does not matter. even two stories about two people of the same race are never going to have the exact same coverage. so you have proven your point! As said, well done!

    At least more than a handful since you said it ALWAYS happens. Should be easy for you to prove. I'll wait

    I'm not talking about two stories. I'm talking about ONE story - Floyd, but if he was white.

    Except I'm talking about the media's focus on race, but only when it suits them. I'm just asking the question, why don't they cover stories in the same way depending on race.

    That would be two stories, one if he is white and one if he is black.

    and you have already proven your point, you said so. Why do you keep coming back for more. you won already.

    Go enjoy your victory, you earned it!

    So you're suggesting that race is a relevant factor. How telling. Some conservative you are, covering for the leftist media in this way. Perhaps you hate Trump THAT much that you feel the need to defend the media, which he relentlessly and justifiably attacked. Sad.

    You're just playing dumb, you know perfectly well that race was reported, but here you go:

    Ahmaud Arbery:

    CNN:

    "Arbery, who was black, was jogging outside Brunswick, Georgia, on February 23 when Gregory McMichael and his son, who are white, chased him after him, authorities said. Arbery and Travis McMichael struggled over the latter's shotgun and Arbery was shot three times."
    https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/25/us/ahmaud-arbery-doj-hate-crime-investigation/index.html

    Washington Post:


    "A judge in Glynn County, Ga., ruled Thursday that three white men accused of killing a black jogger in Georgia in February will stand trial for murder, after a day-long hearing that revealed the shooter allegedly uttered the words “f---ing n-----” as the victim lay dying in the road." https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...er-f-ing-n-he-lay-dying-road-agent-testified/

    New York Times:

    "WAYNESBORO, Ga. — Scores of mourners gathered last week at a rural cemetery for a service to mark the first anniversary of the slaying of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man who was chased by a trio of white men and shot to death on a residential street." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/28/us/ahmaud-arbery-anniversary.html


    George Floyd:

    CNN:

    Hundreds remained on the streets of Minneapolis late Wednesday night protesting the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died after pleading for help as a police officer pinned him to the ground with his knee on Floyd's neck. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/27/us/minneapolis-protests-george-floyd/index.html

    Washington Post:

    MINNEAPOLIS — Thousands of people poured into the streets here for a second night of protests — which later turned chaotic as police fired rubber bullets from a rooftop, several buildings caught fire, and one person was shot and killed by a store owner — after a viral video showed a white police officer putting his knee on the neck of a black man, who later died. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/05/27/george-floyd-minneapolis-reaction/

    New York Times:


    "Mr. Chauvin, a white former Minneapolis police officer, was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for kneeling on the neck of George Floyd, a black man, for nearly nine minutes." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/29/us/floyd-protests-usa.html

    Again, if you thought that it would have gotten the exact same coverage if he was white, you would have already said so by now! :roflol:

    Yeah, nobody cares when it's gang related violence for example.

    Stories like this one should probably receive ZERO national attention. They are LOCAL stories, but if they are going to get MAJOR national attention, then they should regardless of the races involved. The problem is, that it only goes one way, and you know it.

    I actually don't think that it should receive more attention. Stories like this one should probably receive ZERO national attention. They are LOCAL stories, but if they are going to get MAJOR national attention, then they should regardless of the races involved. And therefore, stories like this one should receive more attention in order to be more in line with the attention given to other stories where the races are reversed.

    What about the girl who called the police on a black man in a park? Was THAT much of a story?

    You know perfectly well that this story was covered differently. Why wasn't the race mentioned like it would if the killer was white and the victim was a minority?
