I doubt you could find a more representative story to exemplify the current state of American journalism than this one.
Summary Version: A 62-year-old guy in New Jersey was minding his own business – walking down the street, wearing a Donald Trump T-Shirt….
He was attacked by a motorist who stopped his car, got out, and beat the 62-year-old Trump supporter with a crowbar.
The New Jersey news article was written by a reporter named Jessica Mazolla. Read The Article HERE. Please notice The headline reads:
“Man’s Trump T-shirt sparked crowbar attack, cops say”…
So the Trump T-Shirt caused the guy to get beaten with a crowbar…. You getting this?
It’s the “her skirt was too short” argument customarily heard from rape apologists. But, oh, wait, it gets better. The reporter, Jessica Mazzola, gets called out on the ridiculously biased presentation by a few readers in the NJ.COM comment section.
She responds:
Again, focused on “what was on the shirt“.
I guess you never know….
Perhaps the 62-year-old guy was wearing a T-Shirt that says:
“Please beat me with a crowbar”!
Oh yeah, and way down the page you’ll find this little paragraph (emphasis mine):
[…] Witnesses in the parking lot told police they saw the alleged attack, as well, authorities said. The description of the attacker, however, was vague.
The description of the rage-filled guy wielding a crow bar to brutally attack the victim was “too vague” for a mention…. I mean, surely the “eye witnesses” were lacking some filtered perspective of specificity…. but let’s dig into the T-Shirt angle a bit more shall we.
C’mon, we all know he deserved it right?
Right?
Good grief.
Ms. Mazzola hit every single aspect of “journalistic cultural marxism” in one article.
- Step one – Don’t describe the attacker. Then, if possible…
- Step two – Find a way to blame/shame the victim. Then, if possible…
- Step three – Avoid framing the obvious motive against your own political ideology…
- Step four – If confronted, refer to step one.
