    You are simply KIDDING yourself if you think that there would have been no more coverage if Shaver was black! :roflol:

    On a regular basis, I google the following News sites;

    CNN
    NBC
    ABC
    Brietbart
    Fox
    Newsmax

    Sole reason; Just want to see what news they're inflating, and/or ignoring

    Conclusion; This country is biasedly sick!

    You have already proven that no two stories are exactly the same, you have proven you point, you said so yourself.

    You won! Go tell all your little buddies at Wendy's how you won the argument on the internet, they will all be proud of you.

    And where did you get the idea I am a conservative? I believe in smaller government and more personal freedom....two things the conservatives in this country abhor based upon their voting record.

    Is there any reason to assume that skin colour is in any way relevant to the Floyd case?

    You're suggesting that race is a relevant factor, given that you said that the difference in race would make the Floyd case two separate stories, even if it was IDENTICAL (other than race), as you say, "one if he is white and one if he is black."

    "Smaller government." Which party is more for that?

    In the case of Arbery two men hunted down Arbery because he was black and you don’t think that should be talked about???
    I don’t know if Floyd incident was racially motivated but it isn’t inconceivable.

    Why do you think it wouldn’t have been covered as much?

    You are definitely obsessed with race. By an unhealthy amount.

    How do we know that?

    Was it inconceivable that the Steven Amenhauser attack was racially motivated?

    They hunted down a guy who was jogging and killed him because he was black. How is that not racially motivated???

    I haven't see any articles that state the scumbags targeted Amenhauser for being white. I've checked Newmax, Breitbart, OAN, etc and nothing.

    Exactly, and the media reported race IMMEDIATELY in the Floyd and Arbery cases, BEFORE they were investigated.

    I definitely see the work of a "stealth Marxist" in your posts.

    I am sure you do. People like you only see black and white, everything to you is "us vs them".

    I cannot bring myself to care even a tiny bit what you see.

    You think that the media covered this story no less than other stories where the suspects were white?

    Hey Chris. I can't say that I agree with your assumptions. Which is not the same, just to be clear, as saying that I'm contesting your thesis's foundational belief. But I do not think that this example is a great one for making your case. Typically, when minors are involved in a crime, their identities are protected, with very little info, other than their ages, given-- regardless of race: i.e., I think you are wrong in believing the article would have specified that they were white, had that been the case. Also, while you want to use this as an indictment of, "the media," i.e., the MSM, your link for the story is the Huffington Post which, I assume you know, is considered farther on the liberal left, in its perspective, than the mainstream media, in general.

    I agree that this is an interesting story, but it comes down to a less than sensational crime-- every car jacking does not get national news attention-- gone wrong. There are far too many killings, for that matter, for the major media to cover them all, except locally. If this were considered a hate-crime, then there is a greater chance it would have received wider play. But there's no reason to think this is anything but a case of robbery (car theft) leading to an unintentional death.

    I would attribute the less-than full, national coverage of this incident to an editorial decision, in that there are bigger stories to cover, w/ the Derrick Chauvin trial eating up much of the current oxygen, so that even other stories w/ much bigger ramifications than this botched car-jacking, such as the build-up of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, are getting short shrift. Then there is the NRA trial, currently in progress, getting relatively little coverage. Even President Biden's gun control initiatives, other than on our PF site, have not yet got much headline coverage. Or how about the HUGE story about the Senate Parliamentarian ruling that Democrats (who control the Senate) can use the Budget Reconciliation rules to pass at least THREE more bills this year on majority votes, exempt from filibusters?

    It is entirely possible that not all those in the MSM who make the editorial calls are even aware of this particular incident, that you cite. It is also possible, if the well of bigger stories begins to run dry, that this story could get wider coverage.

    How do we know that?

    So then you don't think that race needs to be mentioned in a case unless it is certain that it was racially motivated?

    And the very first story I read about this case listed the race of the two girls.
