faux news despicable front page

[WillieDee]

Only below the inflammatory picture, in small print, do they mention that the SHOOTER was a white racist and the VICTIM a black man.

Unreal, isn't it?

1. Why post that shit here? We come here to escape that crap.

:eyes:

4. That's why you clicked on it?

[dem629]

2. What's the inflammatory picture?

[CreekDog]

7. one might easily think the victim (in the picture) is actually the shooter

i see the point.

[dem629]

11. Ah, I see. Having seen the officer's picture, I knew. I guess others who hadn't

seen his picture would make the assumption that he was the shooter.

I see it now. All about perspective.

[CreekDog]

15. It's not like FOX hasn't done this sort of thing before

:hi:

[dem629]

24. Haven't seen it. I don't go to their site much.

[EastTennesseeDem]

10. If I hadn't heard of the shooting, and, God forbid, had given a cursory glance to the page

I would have thought it was a mugshot of the shooter.

And if I were one of many repukes, I would've taken it a step further and harped on the fact that the killer was a black guy.

[dem629]

13. Yep. I see that now, but I already knew of the victim. Thanks.

3. That's SO fucked up!!!

:mad:

[Cant trust em]

5. I'm speechless. This is totally incomprehensible. nt

[EastTennesseeDem]

6. That's just inexcusable

Just...

Wow.

8. FAUX NEWS: You Report, We Distort.

[AntiFascist]

9. The faux media has twisted things so much...

racism now implies reverse-racism.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. The news was showing the gunman's pic before the security guard,

so I know they had a pic of him. I see your point, the pic with the headline should have been of the killer and not the guard. And another thing, they show his pic and mention he's a security guard, why didn't they print his name? He at least deserves that.

[Occam Bandage]

14. I completely agree. The picture is misleading.

Also, when I think "melee," I think a hand-to-hand brawl.

[dmr]

23. That's what got my attention

A melee is what happens on the diamond after the batter gets beaned.

[Doctor_J]

16. WTF is with all of the reports from Fox today?

Are you double-posting as LLSparks, or are you a separate moran?

[chollybocker]

17. ...racist man "allegedly" opens fire??

...and the security guard "allegedly" died from an "alleged" bullet, and now his family is "allegedly" making funeral plans.

This is all so f*cking "allegedly" ridiculous.

[Dramarama]

18. Hundreds of witnesses may be wrong apparantley

[louis-t]

19. Don't overreact. My first question was "Is this the vic or perp."

I leaned toward vic. Faux sucks, but this is trivial.

[ColbertWatcher]

20. Good catch.

Just like other posters I knew wat the picture meant and didn't consider how twisted it was until I read your post. Kick and rec.

[Canuckistanian]

21. At least they didn't put a "(D)" after "Racist Man"

I wouldn't put it past them.

[Trekologer]

22. The caption has been changed

However they made the picture of the victim darker. The background picture has the same contrast levels.
