More Censorship from the Media
Bill O’Reilly used to frequently refer to the St. Petersburg Times as one of the most extreme left newspapers in the US. O’Reilly no longer occupies the 8 PM slot at FNC and the paper has changed its name to the Tampa Bay Times, but little else has changed. The paper, which also manages PoliFact, just announced it will no longer public mugshots because it’s racist – too many blacks appear. Using that logic, shouldn’t the paper also drop pictures of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
In other news recently, the Tampa Bay Times announced it was dropping its print edition to two days a week. It’s hard to understand why (if you’re a so-called “journalist” with an IQ below room temperature).
The days of heading to newspaper websites to check out images of people who have been arrested in your area are coming to an end.
The Tampa Bay Times will no longer publish mugshot galleries of the recently arrested amid concerns they “disproportionately show black and brown faces,” the paper announced Monday.
The Memorial Day death of George Floyd in police custody has put a nationwide emphasis on systemic racism and police brutality, and the Tampa Bay paper will stop publishing photos of every person arrested in the area as a result.
“The galleries lack context and further negative stereotypes,” Tampa Bay Times executive editor Mark Katches said in a statement.
The paper will still publish mug shots relevant to particular stories, but not in its gallery format.
“We think the data is an important resource that our newsroom will continue to analyze and watch carefully, but the galleries alone serve little journalistic purpose,” Katches added.
The Tampa Bay Times’ decision came days after the Orlando Sentinel made a similar move.
“We’ve come to realize that without context, the galleries have little journalistic value and may have reinforced negative stereotypes,” Orlando Sentinel wrote about its mug shot database.
Gannett-owned papers also announced they will discontinue publishing “mugshot galleries, or mugshot photos that are not associated with a story or other editorial content,” according to Poynter.
“Mugshot galleries presented without context may feed into negative stereotypes and, in our editorial judgment, are of limited news value,” Gannett editors told Poynter. “Instead, we will focus on the best ways to inform our readers by providing relevant information that will keep ur communities safe and cover crime, as well as the public safety system.”
Poynter’s Kristen Hare wrote that “the decision is one that local news sites around the country have been making for years, favoring accuracy and context over clicks,” noting that some Gannett-owned papers removed mugshot galleries in 2018 but 26 recently acquired papers have now followed.
“This is a positive step,” Poynter director of training and diversity Doris Truong said. “We know that arrests disproportionately involve suspects of color — particularly young men. People shown in mugshots don’t always have their case reported through to conclusion, so the news consumer doesn’t see how many cases stemmed from wrongful arrests.”
Since many perps have names like Deiondre, Jevonte, Kadeem, Keshawn, Kyrone, Lakista, LeBron, Mashawn, Obiajulu, Quaashie, Quintavius, Rashon, Shaquille, Shontae, Tevaughn, Vandwon, Xyshaun and Zashawn, how long before the Tampa bay Times identifies Quintavius Brown as Q. Brown or ? Brown.

In a meeting last Thursday, NDP Statewide Officers demanded that Janicek decline the Democratic Senate nomination. This would require a form to be filed by Janicek with the Nebraska Secretary of State in order for his name to be removed from the November ballot. The party has the ability to replace his name on the ballot for the November 3 election if he resigns and completes paperwork with the Secretary of State.
Janicek informed the NDP that he would not withdraw on Monday, the deadline that was agreed upon by party leaders and Janicek during the meeting last week.
The Janicek staff member, who has since quit the campaign, sent a copy of the text message last week to the party and filed a formal complaint with the NDP on Monday afternoon.
The text message said they needed to “get her laid,” referring to the staffer and indicated “group sex.” The Omaha World-Herald reported the texts ‘described lining up multiple partners for group sex with the staffer and suggested the “three guys” could be paid.’ “Thoughts?! money” he said

[29]
As we have discussed before, rather than making polling more accurate, today’s scientific polling makes it easier to rig a poll to get the results a sponsor wants:
* List selection
* Time of day calls are made
* Everyone. registered voters or likely voters
* Cell phones, land lines or both
* How questions are worded
* Etc., etc., etc.
* When all else fails, there’s always “weighting”
Many people ignore calls from toll-free numbers because they think they are harassment.
I stopped believing election polling a long time ago.

As seen on the internet….
“God Says revenge is His but he subcontracts…”
[38]
I haven’t watched the Atlanta vid, but here’s a summary from someone who has.
“Rarely do we see an incident like this play out to its conclusion on video. We saw 28 minutes of polite interaction, 2 minutes of violent wrestling and fighting and then 15 seconds when the perp turned and fired the Taser and the cop fired back, probably killing him instantly.”
OAN reports: “#BREAKING: The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office announces 11 charges against former Atlanta Police Officer Garrett Rolfe, including felony murder and multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon”
Apparently there are political considerations, from a blog discussion–
“Atlanta DA is in the middle of a runoff election … Guess it’s time to destroy some lives for votes”
“I thought you were required to get a GJ indictment for capital murder”
“they are not grand jury indictments and not only (does the DA want the) law changed so no GJ is necessary. HIS signature alone should be enough he said to indict.”
And this: “Hearing that some Atlanta police officers are going home right now midshift.”
Why are no Repubs standing up?

At the end of the day, thats why Trump loses.
