What Media Bias?
Here's the headline from the Tribune:
Damn those police, shooting happy-go-lucky teens in search of fun.
Now from the Sun Times:
Now from the Sun Times:
Oh, you mean the altar boy had a gun? And he shot at the police? Well, yeah, he did:
- Chicago Police shot and wounded a man who allegedly fired a gun at officers Thursday evening in the South Side Fuller Park neighborhood.
Police shot and wounded a person in the 4400 block of South Princeton Avenue about 6:45 p.m., said Larry Merritt, a spokesman for the Independent Police Review Authority, the city agency responsible for investigating all police-involved shootings.
Paramedics took the unidentified man to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, said Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford. His injury was not thought to be life-threatening.
Kind of makes a difference, doesn't it?

I guess the bangers just think of the cops as another gang, that wears blue colors. Now the tax payers have to pay for his medical bills and support him while he is in jail.
Father was on TV tonight, 17-year-old "did not have a gun and therefore could not have shot at police."
The bullet wound in the "teen's" leg must have come from somewhere else, too, because Dad said "If the police had shot him, he'd be dead."
19-P, put us back up.
Its being reported that a hospital staff member overheard the father of the teen say "My boy ain't had no gun, if he did them cops would be dead" . . . Chicago parenting at its finest.
His dad insisted he didn't own a gun, so he couldn't have fired a gun. So there! (foot stomp optional)
Oh, and dad said the kid was going to go out and look for a job 'tomorrow'. I guess that qualifies as turning your life around...
WGN reported this morning that police said the teen had a gun but "did not say whether he fired the gun." So guys, I hope you get that, you need to wait until he opens fire before you can fire.
They aren't such good shots anyway. Be safe out there, eh?
Well there ya go!
That EEEEEEEEEVIIIIL Police Union was the source of info so the one paper stayed true to the usual Police Hating narrative we've come to expect.
So hoping the Koch Bros. would buy one of these recycled bowel rags, set fire to every living and dead ass in the stinking joint and dump the entirety of the editorial board out on their crooked, slanted asses out on the streets penniless and pensionless as a taste of the bitter brew they're banging the drum for Policemen to get a belly full of.
Isn't hatred and ill will fun?
So... Motherfuck whoever ends up getting hurt in pursuit of a biased and politically driven agenda.
If such be the case then there should be NO fucking suvivors left on either side when the smoke clears...
Playing with fire with this slanted ass coverage.
Love the word "teen." Brings to mind youthful good times, horse-play, classroom high-jinks, and talking back when it's time for chores. Well done, Trib.
The media propaganda continues - Channel 7 puts someone on claiming to be offender's father. Dad says that there was no way his son had a gun because if he did point a gun at police, the police would be dead. The reporter is nodding the entire time like this guys word is Gospel.
Then they follow up with Chuck Goudie doing the "exposé" on who's legally responsible if a business owner allows guns inside their establishment and there "is an incident".
I am sick & tired of the propaganda and BS being pushed down our throats day in and day out. I am not a sheep. I have a brain and its telling me it's time to get out of this shithole state.
Pot - kettle?!? Let's be realistic here.
According to NBC, tHE offenders father said his son doesnt go to school but had planned on going out first thing Friday morning to look for a "job". Now it will be our fault drivers on the south side wont have clean windshields!

The trib is in a race to the bottom with the Sun Times. Neil Steinberg is the flag girl.
Say what you want about McCarthy, but he just signed up for this years Battle of the Badges. This should be interesting with a long line of wannabe contenders. The city could make money by selling raffles to have a chance to box the Bronx Bomber !
The media tends to be slanted towards truth, justice and the American Way. Everyone knows how evil republicans, conservatives and their ilk are. The medial tries to expose that evil.
I thought the Sun-Times was the one who usually supported the liberal "truth".
thanks media for adding all the fat trim facts to the story, the public just loves to read articles involving contents such as this....

hey, i got another example. it's about the economy and all those 'much needed' jobs being

Illinois
Feb 18, 2014 - Statewide, the five top advertised positions in January were truck drivers (7,014), registered nurses, (5,869), retail salespersons (4,644)....
==end clip==
ooo. tuck drivers, ooooo.
so the political apparatus and their corporate run media brothers encouraged the masses to go out and take a city college truck driving course
and what do we see the very next month...this..
Illinois unemployment rate stays steady at 8.7 percent
Posted: Mar 20, 2014 1:40 PM CST
[...]..iDES reported Illinois added a net 6,400 jobs last month, an improvement from when the state lost jobs the month before. The professional and business sectors added 10,400 jobs with leisure and hospitality sectors adding 4,000 more. However, firms in trade, transportation, and utilities cut 6,100 jobs.
==end clip==
truck driving. hmmm. that would fall under 'transportation ' and we cut those jobs.
speaking about advertised open positions that the ides is trying to promote as job creation.
i passed by three sprint cell phone stores yesterday and they all had 'we're hiring' signs prominently displayed.
sprint must be doing pretty good one thinks, right. i'll bet they just can't find the qualified people. ya know like that other company rahm was promoting that couldn't find welders and airline mechanics as thousands of them were being laid off.
anyways...
yay the economy must be turning around yaaay.
but wait...what's this

--end clips-
all those so-called valued employees let go. i guess none of them wanted to come to chicago to work were sprint is hiring eh.. lmfao. wanna work for this outfit where the employees are chattel
moral of the story.
advertised or internet job postings do not mean hiring and job creation.
but advertising nonexistent jobs will encourage some of 'the children' to seek training in fields were they are falsely told a shortage exist.
when all is said and done instead of shortages there's an overabundance that can be used as a tool to lower wages and benefits.
churning the workforce. turning full time jobs into part time jobs to avoid obamacare. then act like all jobs created are full time living wage jobs.
kool-aid for lunch anyone.
Outstanding father on channel 7 at 10 pm. Instead of the usual statement, "he was gonna start looking for a job on Monday" this proud father stayed, "he was start looking for a job tomorrow." You see his son was gonna beat the crowd and start on a Friday. Only to be stopped by his actions of shooting at the police. Unfortunatly, his GED didn't cover do not carry a gun and shoot at the police or his alarm clock would have been going off at 4 pm, at least, for that job hunt.
That entire Tribune article is one big pile of crap. It's as if English is a second language to 'ace Tribune reporter' Carlos Sadovi, and that video clip isn't much better. But what's really full of anti-police libtard shit is the caption below that video; 'Chicago Police officers shot and injured a 17-year old boy who may have had a gun.'
So exsqueeze me Tribune? The cops *just* shot the little honor student because he "may have had a gun"? What the fuck is that supposed to mean, huh? Do you moonbat dildos think its a sport or game to the police, 'Hey Frank, look over there, Junior 'may have a gun'. Lets see who can shoot him first. Okay Joe, me first -- BANG!!'
That's what that caption implies you friggen assholes.
Gosh darn it. Those crazy cops.

Great now the choir will be down another member....
Dad said in his interview with channel 7 news "My boy ain't had no gun, if he did shoot they,(the Police,)be dead" I am sure that is what I heard...
Those damn polices starting shit again
Not surprising at all.
Both the Trib and Sun Times are nothing more than Pravdas for the local communist Democrat criminal machine.
Crime is down, crime is up
Emanuel has made headlines just now on Israel's "Jewish News 1" international TV feed. Calling for "stricter and more comprehensive gun control." Basically calling for "background checks," everything else we already have but more of it.
Pics of McCarthy agreeing, pics of "the gun table" they use for photo ops, etc. "Chicago has so much more 'gun crime' than other cities." I thought it had less crime, due to McCarthy's brilliance.
Moms Against Things will gut CCW to "Can't Carry Weapon."
This will stop Junebug from busting into a far-away gun store and bringing back literally buckets of pistols to sell on the street in Englewood.
Is this another example of the police oppressing a minority youth? The beast, the machine is driving these oppressed minorities into revolt.

Father said, on news video, "If my son pointed a gun at them (the police) they'd be dead" with a smile. Another sorry-ass ghetto bum with an attitude.
The fucking lying liberal pussy-ass media will publish any fucking lie that furthers their fucked up agenda!!! This is specifically applicable toward most large northern metropolitan municipalities. The truth in the stories they choose to publish is merely coincidental especially if it embellishes their view point or agenda.
Mainstream media just warming up for the election season
It's Friday anything happening today?
"If he had a gun, them cops would be dead."-father of job hunting teen. Can't make this up people. I no longer will I be an abc Chicago news viewer, they truly go out the way to make the teen and father with a record very innocent. It's always: teen INJURED, or Police shoot pedestrian,or police kill unarmed man on medication/illegal drugs. It's getting really bad in sensationalism vs. honest reporting.
Hey listen his dad said today he was going out looking for a job. He has a GED you know

Daddy was right up in the face of the news camera crews last night. You could feel the lawsuit coming when he went on a rant on how there's no gun and they been searching for two hours for a gun now.
Whats worse is the McStupid gave a blast at compost that Illinois caused a Homicide because someone had bought a legal gun (conceal carry) that was used in a homicide. He said thank you Illinois. I wish we had battle of police badges. I would like a shot at McStupid!

Close. There was a homicide in which the gun used by the offender was purchased by momma, who was present during the homicide, was in the get-away car with her boy, and had her own gun on her a well. She legally purchased the firearm, clearly for nefarious use by her shit-heel spawn. McCarthy then said "Great job, Illinois."
I agree with you, it's a complete douchebag comment from him- just clarifying the situation and what was said.

Hey Gump. The paper said the guy called the dad racial slurs during the fight. It's not deep. That will get you a hate crime charge quick these days. Just like the black kid robbed a white kid in the burbs and mentioned Trayvon Martin and he got hit with a hate crime on top of robbery. By the way, my 90 yo plus great uncle just died. Decades ago he left his wife and kids in Mississippi after being threatened that he would be killed if he was seen there again. He moved back with his mother out of state and was a shell of a man the rest of his life. He never returned to Mississippi. Cry me a river with your "astonishingly rare" garbage. I grew up going to summer camp in Little Italy against my will because my mother worked nearby. I got into more fights, confrontations, and close calls of getting jumped (all race related) there than any CPS school I attended or any hood I ever lived in. My brother went to a magnet school in Mt. Greenwood where they routinely painted the school with swastikas and set the kids' playground equipment on fire. So spare me. You have people still openly admitting that they murdered people because of their race so do yourself a favor and be quiet.

The smartest kids I encountered even in college were mostly from Lane Tech. I started in parochial school but my academic experience in CPS was much better.

I went to Catholic school so long ago that there were no lawsuits then. You look cross-eyed at a priest or brother and you would be picking yourself up off the floor.
I went to Catholic HS, public HS and just to even it out, I got a GED. Then Judge Saul Epton had a stern talking to me over at 937 N Wood St, 2nd floor, he gave me a choice, US Army or a nice state run facility full of young men with a chip on their shoulder.
They used to call that the University of Judge Saul Epton. By and by I made it to the police academy and had a long and unblemished career.
Things were simpler then. Your choices were put in simple blunt terminology anyone could understand.
My first roll call in a district once I got out of the academy happened to be held at 937 N Wood St, 2nd floor. How ironic. Worked out for me.
Checks are late called FOP. No one is there to answer they are all out campaigning to get Dougherty re-elected. Finish the job throw the last citywide member out.

I don't know what age you are but years ago a public school student in Chicago was never educated as well as a student in a parochial school. Maybe you were just with the smartest kids in the dumb row. I also know everything has changed in recent years and even parochial schools have become extremely liberal in their teachings and the "everyone gets a trophy" method of education! However this is a totally discriminatory way of hiring. Military, or perhaps experienced police officers coming from another jurisdiction should be the only persons receiving any type of "points" I hope people file a lawsuit on this one. Can you imagine private industry doing this?

My point was that it appears to me that, overall, "hate crime" charges come down fast on the statistically infrequent white-on-black incidents, but seldom seem to be used in the much more common black-on-white assaults, robberies, etc. we have.
It is sad that these nice people ran into the neighborhoood crazy. TV report said that someone who knew him from the area said Firek (suspect) "was always yelling and screaming at everyone." I started seeing wild stuff like this more and more ages ago, when they "deinstitutionalized" the seriously mentally ill and placed them among us all. Guys waving bricks and scissors and s__t, yelling crap.
"[Firek] is on parole for a residential burglary conviction... [and] has a criminal record dating back to 1996 that includes prison stints for burglary and theft convictions. His attorney said he was living on disability benefits for black lung disease, emphysema and psychiatric illness. He also said he was receiving outpatient psychiatric treatment." Sounds like aggressive drunk/on pills/whatever too. Real bad apple.
"[Uncle] moved back with his mother out of state and was a shell of a man the rest of his life. He never returned to Mississippi."

I know the feeling. Many poor/working Chicagoans have spent their lives moving and moving and moving away from one "gone bad" area after another. So many better things we could have been doing. It has not been good for anyone except the "social engineers" and real estate speculators.
"I got into more fights, confrontations, and close calls of getting jumped (all race related) there than any CPS school I attended..." Same thing for me attending CPS. Long way home, avoiding certain viaducts and so forth. Friend spent six months of spare time making a piece of scientific equipment, and once it was done he had it taken away from him on the way home and smashed on the RR tracks.
I just question the way State's Atty. seems to bring things down sometimes.
Peace, my friend. Stay safe out there and may God bless.
I heard from a good source that the city is broke. Rahm spent all the money. How do I know this? Because my April 1st paycheck hasn't been deposited.

Your April 1st paycheck hasn't been deposited because it is only March 21. You need to wait for April 1 to make April 1 jokes.

Sure glad that didn't go over your head. I was trying to point out this guy was complaining about his paycheck not being deposited before it was due to be deposited.
I really think the press use the 'teen shot by cops' to get people to read it.
See if the headlines say, "Cops shoots gunman" all most people would do is think, "fine", and turn the page.
By using the 'Teen' angle people think, "what happened??" and read it.
Sadly though, those who don't read it still think some nasty mean cop capped some poor little mis-understood kid (with a gun..)
When news agencies don't simply take the story right off the wire, it's interesting to see the different spins that they put on it.
Take this story for example.
Only one outlet made the crux of the story the fact that Obama is the only president who does not call Carter for advice:
http://tv.yahoo.com/news/jimmy-carter-reveals-obama-only-president-doesnt-call-000900386.html
Another outlet concentrates on Carter believing that the NSA is spying on him & that he's got no criticisms of Obama's handling of the situation in the Ukraine:
http://news.yahoo.com/jimmy-carter-nsa-spying-164434808.html
HuffPo offers no mention of Obama whatsoever:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/23/jimmy-carter-nsa_n_5017378.html
and finally, this agency quote's Carter's feelings about low-level NSA rat Edwin Snowden:

All from the same NBC "Meet the Press" interview.
