Trib and Slum Times Slanders

Goebbels had nothing on these media assholes:

• Plainfield man fatally stabbed 6-year-old Muslim boy after listening to conservative talk radio, prosecutors say

That's the Slum Times headline attempting to tie-in conservative talk radio with a nut job. Here's how tenuous that connection actually is:

• .... a Plainfield man became increasingly concerned about what he was hearing on conservative talk radio....
• Czuba’s wife told detectives that he regularly listens to conservative talk radio and was very interested in current events
  

That's it. Imagine the outrage if this same asshole wrote something like:

• The non-demonized yutes were observed in the car listening to rap music before speeding off and committing three drive by shootings.

Correlation does not imply causation. This is crap "reporting" and is actually closer to gaslighting, exactly like Clinton/Reno blaming Rush Limbaugh for the Oklahoma City bombing.

The Tribune gets into the act (remember - there is no coordination among the media!):

• Community condemns ‘hateful rhetoric’ as factor in 6-year-old Palestinian child’s death at Plainfield vigil

That's the headline. Here's the attempted tie-in:

• Will County prosecutors said in court Monday that the suspect in Wadea’s death, landlord Joseph Czuba, had grown “heavily interested” in the conflict between Israel and Hamas through conservative talk radio.

We had pizza the other night. If we had ended up in a shooting, we suppose that would be the headline?

• Cop who ate pizza shoots Knife-Wielding Maniac who community described as "lovable teddy bear" after he stabbed three
  

You know what we listen to most days? Conservative talk radio. Because they tell the truth far more often than the Tribune or the Slum Times propagandists.
