How would the US Department of Justice, President Obama, the entire world press conspire to engage in a campaign of lies, deception and misinformation?
We used to believe in an objective investigating press in the Western democracies, US, Europe, elsewhere. But political correctness utterly corrupted freedom of press and academia. Hate crime laws prohibit true information about race, crime, and iq, feminism corrupts academic research about domestic violence and legal due process. We bemoan our loss of freedom, our constitutional rights, are dumbfounded and still seek explanations for such misinformation campaigns. Do these journalists, prosecutors, opinion-makers self-deceive and really believe in their own lies?
Political correctness creates hate and mayhem
Had Press and Government told the truth about George Zimmerman‘s clear self defense, the New Black Panthers would not seek vigilante justice, Blacks would not feel entitled to commit violent crime "in revenge for Trayvon Martin: Remember the misleading edit of the 911 tape, cause of a law suit by George Zimmermann against NBC?
Had the press chosen to always show the following photos of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, the trial would have never happened, or the verdict readily accepted.
George Zimmerman’s head 2 minutes after the shooting. Below recent photos from Trayvon Martin’s own social media.
Instead the press chose to show Trayvon Martin as an angelical 12 year old boy, and used Zimmerman’s heavyset mug photo, falsely suggesting a huge weight and fighting advantage for Zimmerman, and, falsely, a criminal past for George Zimmerman.
By any objective standard, the prestige press has shamed itself by its repeated distortions of the facts to make them fit its desires for a tale of White Privilege, Innocent Black Victimization, and Stereotyping. (Of course, by controlling the narrative, there will be virtually no accountability.) As I’ve mentioned before, when the press decides to go all in on a race story, they seem to pick ones that unravel into travesties at a higher than random rate. This story began to fall apart the moment George Zimmerman’s picture was printed.
The central mechanism that leads the press astray is its War to Wipe Out Stereotypes, to wipe clean the collective mind, to render the blank slate as blank as possible. The fundamental problem of journalism, in the minds of the more elevated sort of journalist, is that its readers can notice patterns for themselves 9
The trial was based on an illegally lying prosecutor who would not have had a case, had she told the truth.
It turned out, once pre-trial discovery was exchanged, that the affidavit upon which probable cause was found had not disclosed a lot of significant exculpatory details. There was no mention of the significant injuries to Zimmerman, or of John Good’s eyewitness account that Martin was on top of Zimmerman hitting him Mixed Martial Arts style. All the Affidavit said on the subject of the physical confrontation was that there was “a struggle.”
The Affidavit identified the voice screaming for help as that of Martin based on an interview with his mother, but did not reveal what we now know, that Martin’s father initially denied it was his son.
The Affidavit also was inaccurate, such as alleging that the 911 operator “instructed Zimmerman not” to follow Martin — a false fact which lives on in the media mythology of the case. Alan Dershowitz vs. Angela Corey over misleading Affidavit of Probable Cause
How would the US Department of Justice, the entire world press
conspire to engage in a campaign of lies and distortion?
Our belief in a free and objective press in Western democracies lies shattered. The press, in unison with the US government and justice engaged in a successful campaign of lies, deceit, and omission.
The only one that actually tried to find a theory to explain this world wide campaign of lies is Steve Sailer from isteve and the excellent vdare site
As I’ve pointed out for weeks, the Trayvon Martin story is mostly interesting for what it shows us about what’s wrong with the media. Stereowiping and the Zimmerman Teletravesty
As an individual story, Martin-Zimmerman is more or less the same depressing Stuff Happens as occurs hundreds of times per year across this huge country. The main difference, in this case, was that the press initially got wrong the race of the shooter and thought it had, for once, its Great White Defendant.
Determining fault justly in each of these cases depends upon small details of who did what to whom first, details that shouldn’t be assumed a priori to Fit the Narrative. […]
That the Martin-Zimmerman story was foretold so accurately a quarter of a century ago in the most famous book by the most famous journalist since Mencken only underlines that lesson: most of the journalists who have huffed and puffed this local small-time tragedy have personally read Bonfire of the Vanities. Deep down, they almost get the joke of what they’re doing … but they can’t help themselves.

The central mechanism that leads the press astray is its War to Wipe Out Stereotypes, to wipe clean the collective mind, to render the blank slate as blank as possible. The fundamental problem of journalism, in the minds of the more elevated sort of journalist, is that its readers can notice patterns for themselves.
We can abbreviate this War to Wipe Out Stereotypes to stereowiping.
There are several reasons for why the prestige press is so fundamentalist in its fervor to stereowipe. The first, of course, is money: Man Bites Dog stories are more profitable than vice-versa. Another is class: "Two-Headed Calf Is Born" stories are always popular, but they’re not very exalted. The press wants to have their cake and eat it, too by pretending that they are dealing with the massively important issue of white-on-black street violence or the lacrosse players raping black hookers epidemic or whatever is the latest two-headed calf story to come down the pike. The third is ideology: learning from the news is evil. The fourth is the sheer will to power.
That raises a final question about the Zimmerman Fiasco that probably can’t be definitely answered, but is worth thinking about: why now? Why the frenzy to take a run-of-the-mill bit of bad news and get it so badly wrong?
I suspect Obama’s re-election run plays into it in various complicated ways.
But, I suspect something that hasn’t been mentioned much is a technological change brought about by cell phone videos and YouTube. The last two or three years have seen a flood of footage posted online by amateurs of Blacks Behaving Badly (much of it, indeed, posted by those behaving badly themselves). I don’t see much statistical evidence that African-Americans are behaving worse than in the past, but, wow, there sure is a huge amount of video that has gotten past the national news gatekeepers to the public. If you’ve read a half dozen James Q. Wilson social science books since the mid-1970s, none of this behavior will come as a big surprise, although it still is pretty fascinating to watch. But if you get your world view from The News, it’s hard to know whether you should believe trusted, authoritative media sources or your lying eyes.
The Trayvesty, therefore, would be media’s attempt to strike back, to put the genie back in the bottle, to get the National Conversation on Race back on its well-worn tracks where it belongs. Stereowiping and the Zimmerman Teletravesty
Even Fox News lies, after the verdict
Right leaning Fox news, generally a defender of George Zimmermann against leftist political correctness still prints rubbish like this
(sorry, later)
George Zimmermann Acquitted:,Victim of Government and Black Racism
Whistle-blowing state official fired after testimony in Zimmerman trial
Justice Department weighing civil rights case after Zimmerman cleared of all charges
Obama calls Martin’s death ‘tragedy,’ urges calm and says ‘jury has spoken’
‘Crackers,’ a ‘teenage mammy’ — the sorry truth about race and Zimmerman trial
Zimmerman trial: Should judge have stopped the case? 
They should give guys like Zimmerman medals every time they forcibly remove some human scum from society.
Of course, the media and the Obamanogs WANT race riots, so they are playing this up.
