but it's hardly relevant unless you have an agenda

I just told you the cause, conservatism

The ethnicity of the assailants is intentionally being withheld to avoid a backlash from appearing racist or bigoted.

WHO were the assailants... if we don’t know what did they look like? Several bystanders were about.

So they’re conservative... fine... what is their conservative ideology rooted in?

My money is on Islam. If I’m wrong reveal the identity of the assailants and prove it. A bunch of white French dudes who violently hate miniskirts? OK. Let’s hear them out then.

WHO and WHY. Journalism 101.

Ethnicity isn't religion

Unimpressive technicality

Just put the names and pictures of the assailants up on the news

And we’ll see if I’m wrong (spoiler: I’m not. They’re Muslims. Just like the teenagers that bloodied up those lesbians on that London Bus. Could you check their names for me?)

It's obvious that you're not worried about this for journalistic integrity, but even still, you should've stayed for the whole lesson where they explain media literacy and how not appealing to your assumptions isn't the same as withholding facts.

I recall similar vindication of the media not being tough enough to say that the Las Vegas shooting was an Islamic terrorist attack despite there being no evidence of that as the facts were rolling out.

Not from me. That had crazy white dude written all over it.

They didn't initially report that either. Definitely withholding information.

Stephen Paddock

What were the names of the assailants on that bus again?

Marie Monday 09-25-2020 07:21 AM

Hawk stop talking about those names ffs, the whole point is that whether those assailants were muslims or not isn't the point
