Nice Catch of Media Bias
Sometimes, it's so obvious it escapes notice. A reader pointed out the Slum Times reporting on the shooting in 019:
- About 5:15 a.m., officers in the area responded to calls of a disturbance outside of Tai’s Til 4, 3611 N. Ashland Ave., and as officers arrived, an armed male shot a person outside of the bar and attempted to run from the scene, interim CPD Superintendent Charlie Beck said at a press conference.
So they report the offender shot another individual. Pretty factual.
Then this:
Then this:
- As officers pursued the armed male, he allegedly fired shots at police and an officer returned fire, fatally striking him, Beck said. The armed male was pronounced dead at the scene, and a gun was recovered.
Now the narrative is "allegedly" because everyone knows the police can't be victims of gun wielding assassins. No, the media has to introduce that element of doubt into the lib-tarded narrative because you never know - it might turn out to be a white cop and a black offender and then you can spin a yarn of racial disparities that don't actually exist.

The story has disappeared from the media. The offender hasn't even been identified. Odd
Slumtimes endorsed Foxx and has numerous relatives on Tom Darts payroll. Why does this surprise anyone, there is no media ethical standards anymore.
If the slum times will report that the offender allegedly fired at the pursuing officer, then perhaps the slum times should have reported the following, “The officer allegedly shot at the offender, and one theory is that the offender turned his own gun on himself. All is pending further police investigation.” As such, anything could have allegedly happened, even suicide by the offender. Mind as well as a unicorn 🦄 and a fairy 🧚♀️ to the tale.
Incidentally, the slum times is only good for rolling up and picking up dog shit in the yard. Who the fuck actually pays for this propaganda crap?
The Media is like everything else these days: run by lawyers.
That covers the choice of words.
Just covering their ass from being sued. Those Ghetto lottery tentacles have a long reach.
Who cares what THEY say the POD is dead. Good shooting.
Allegedly the Sun Times is a newspaper. I haven't seen proof of this in years.
Why are Sun Times drivers constantly allowed to violate the traffic laws?
Who instituted this 30 day desk duty rule. Hit the medical for the 30 days, tell them you're stressed out. We put chickens in cages, not hawks.
The media are sneaky little bastards aren't they?
Its a reasonable use of the term allegedly. It just indicates an unsupported statement. Should probably have just stated who told them.
My wife likes the crossword puzzle in the fibune, so I have a subscription (happy wife...happy life). To me the only benefit is that the plastic sleeves it is delivered in makes a good thing to put over my hand to pick up dog shit in my back yard. A kind of shit mitten.
It's so interesting, that a scumbag can "allegedly" shoot a cop, and yet, the cop wasn't "allegedly" shot, he was shot IN FACT. Funny, how those alleged bullets make holes so similar to real ones.
Now if the scumbag who allegedly shot the cop were to DIE...it would seem that those "exceptional" clearance things would mean no more "allegedly"? One can hope...
Sun Times hateful reporting, By Luke Wilusz and Jermaine Nolen
Well done, fellas. You are now proud members of the Journo Hall of Shame. Tell your grandkids someday what a difference you made.
Let it go.
No chases of any kind.
Just drop paper and leave.
A present day take-off on a Royko statement...
"No self-respecting fish would want to be wrapped in a Sun Times newspaper."
Ditto for the Trib
The Slum Times continues to have a problem of never letting FACTS getting into the way of a biased story. No wonder it suffers a slow death as a newspaper.
COPA loves allegations - it’s their bread and butter.
COPA loves “attempt” too, as in “alleged (armed) offender ‘attempted’ to run away”.
Plenty for COPA to dissect, from generalizations and colloquialisms and to uniform infractions and on-scene demeanors.
They have their work cut out for them, may require a budget and staff increase before summer comes.
BY the way...
Which BWC will get released first;
3600 Ashland or the October Man Slumped Over the Wheel ?
The gun may have “ jumped up” and started trouble on its own. Liberal mindset.
but hey... it's all the fault of the Police, right?
"Incidentally, the slum times is only good for rolling up and picking up dog shit in the yard. Who the fuck actually pays for this propaganda crap?"
Exactly. I don't watch local news, definately never PAY for that crap they write in their papers. Media is so biased nowadays, can't believe any of it.
Very good point SCC. They are f'ing caught red handed. Proof they are biased against the police and always have been.
We all know, this will never see the light of day though.
But bookmark this page and you can bring your liberal friends here to point it out.
Why no ID on offender?
The Sun Times almost has to say allegedly after they printed their headline today “10 years for one bad shooting,$10 million payout for another”. That the agenda

Here at the suntimes we don't report the truth, we cover our asses!
Start calling out the reporters by name that write these articles not just the newspaper name.
So the next time an officer shoots an offender, will the Slum Times report the offender was "allegedly" shot by the police?? Fat chance!
fake news slamming an officer for being trained in MMA which came in handy to arrest a person that spit in his face and resisted arrest . That violent thug also committed an aggravated battery on a security guard while attempting to escape an arrest for theft.
Fake news , politicians love the violent criminals , hate the police ,
none of them would live anywhere near these thugs or allow their children to hang out ,date them .
hope they soon become victim from these violent thugs let out on bond
Heh!
Just you wait until one/some of the avowed joyful haters
in the local media gets rubbed and petted on by members
of Dude Inc.
It'll be a double ass-pocket full of Mea Culpa
and petitioning for peace and letting bygones be bygones.
>Snicker!<
May their eyes be moist.
May their hands wring in fear and be damp.
May their pant legs be wet in terror as they
come to the belated understanding that all they
thought they knew, believed, cherished, espoused
and loudly touted has turned out to be not so...
Meanwhile?
Police Like You Have No Friends.
I really wish there was the ability to click "like" on some of these comments!!
Chris Fusco of the scum times and Bruce Dold of the Tribune are jokes. They always kissed Rahm’s ass, now they kiss toad faced loris ass. They are truly an insult to journalism. Look at their staff. Steinberg, a drunk wife beater, Glanton and Laura Washington, totally racist cop hating white hating garbage, Zorn, another cop hater, Issa, an incompetent anti American. Mary Schmich, a frustrated whining loser, Matt Hendrickson, a total Cabrini Kim salad tosser and on and on and on. The sooner they go out of business, the better.

Attacks by the media are not the delivery drivers fault, they’re just trying to make a living.
Reporters are a different breed.
Reporters are seeking revenge for failing the CPD recruit test.

Heard crimesha is at it again cutting loose 94 criminals and blaming crooked LEOs for their incarceration. She need votes before they haul her off to prison. After all, she feels more comfortable with the criminals.
Is it true? Will the "Boy That Cried Maga Hat" actually face justice?
Nothing new here. I recall many years ago the illustrious Chuck Goudy “reporting” on a police shooting how the young miscreant was “gunned down by the police”.
I think it’s easier to prove you were shot than shot at. Police never lie. Thanks for another 10 million of tax payer dollars.

Still nothing further. Not a peep. That can only mean the shoot was perfect and they can't find a single relevant person to bad mouth the police.
What happens when 90% of the media is controlled/owned by (6) corporations?
What happens when those same corporations are operated and controlled by a political ideology?
What happens when the news is no longer free from bias?
What happens when the news is no longer reliable and independent?
What happens when the news is no longer trustworthy?
What happens when the news simply becomes an extension/arm of a political party?
Fact becomes fiction?
Fiction becomes fact?
When does news become propaganda?
Identity creation?
How does the average person, who is under constant financial stress (by design), find time to research and discern fact v fiction?
Majority of people more prone to believe someone in power sitting behind a big brand ‘news’ name?
Do people [human psyche] tend to follow the ‘majority/mainstream viewpoint’ in fear of being isolated and/or shunned?
‘Mainstream’ is used for a reason [dominate trend in opinion].
[If majority of people believe ‘x’ then ‘x’ must be validated / true]
Why do ‘mainstream’ media heads, within different orgs, always use the same keywords and/or catch phrases?
Coordinated? By who? Outside entity providing instructions?
Do they count on the fact that people [human psyche] are more prone to believe something if heard over-and-over again by different ‘trusted’ sources?
Do ‘echo chamber’ tactics provide validation / credibility to the topic/point being discussed?
Threat to intellectual freedom?
Would control over[of] these institutions/organizations allow for the mass control of a populations viewpoint re: a desired topic?
Read again – digest.
Would control over[of] these institutions/organizations allow for the mass control of a populations viewpoint re: a desired topic?
Logical thinking.
Why, after the election of 2016, did [D]’s and media corps jumpstart a [coordinated & planned] divisive blitz intended to create falsehoods re: illegitimacy of election, character assassination of POTUS through sexism, racism, every other ‘ism’?
Pre/post 2016 election?
Why were violent [masked] terror orgs such as Antifa immediately created/funded?
Why were these orgs tasked w/ immediate intimidation/shut down of any pro-POTUS rally[s] and/or events?
Why were marches immediately organized to counter and silence pro-POTUS rally[s] and/or events?
Why were marches immediately organized which divided people into sex/gender, race, [ism]?
When you control the levers of news dissemination, you control the narrative.
Control of the narrative = power
When you are blind, what do you see?
They want you divided.
Divided by religion.
Divided by sex.
Divided by political affiliation.
Divided by class.
When you are divided, and angry, and controlled, you target those ‘different’ from you, not those responsible [controllers].
Divided you are weak.
Divided you pose no threat to their control.
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or stable [livestock kept – sheep].
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
THIS REPRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
