Is journalism completely dead?

[R-Jack]

I think its been a pretty easy to pick a side on this one Spray (outside of one twat), even with you trying to bang the drum that the dead guy happened to be a bad guy. His asshole-ness is pretty much irrelevant to the matter.

[R-Jack]

Once again, irrelevant.

I don't want cops shooting motherfuckers in the back because they can.

[Goober McTuber]

Significant dose of stupid in this thread.

But I guarantee that the reporting was driven in some measure by the shared hatred of the man's politics. Had it been Kennedy or LBJ that was doing those things, the story would have been handled differently.

Wrong. You are a fool to believe otherwise.

I think DiS is trolling. I am shocked that anyone would watch that video and believe that the shooting was justifiable. It was a traffic stop gone bad. Jesus, the cop has a radio and lots of other cops with radios and cars that could have corralled the fleeing driver. I generally give the police a lot of latitude because they deal with an enormous amount of shit. But I cannot think of any reasonable justification for launching 8 rounds at that guy. I think the cop will be going bye-bye for a long, long time.

There is nothing Diego loves more than sucking correction officer union and police union crank. It's amazing.

So much so that Wags is feverishly taking notes for the next time the UAW is discussed here.

What if the union police officer shot a Boeing union employee?

At issue here is not whether the cop blatantly shot him in the back and then shamelessly planted the taser next to him after cuffing him...no this is all on tape. Rather, the question, Is Journalism Dead, should be rephrased, Is Journalism Completely Compromised?

The use of the media--and its willing compliance--were on full and painful display immediately after the shooting. Remember, it took a couple days for the tape to surface.

Consider, just as you see how the machinery was routinely utilized to protect the cops and their utter lies, so too were we fed the instant pile-on of total bullshit about 9/11. Don't you recall how immediate and with what uniformity the media signed on to the "19 hijackers" story? Even though the only evidence that any of these guys were anywhere near the event was the miraculous recovery of an intact passport in the wreckage of the WTC tower? But, as with this initial story--but for the surfaced tape--you would have believed the official story of the man "struggling for the officer's taser--and turning it on him before fleeing"..

The Press is not blind to politics.

No, he's not. He is a genuine cop-sucking holster sniffer whose idea of a good time is squatting on a police baton with his nose inserted in a badge monkey's indifferently wiped bunghole while CHiPs reruns play in the background.
