Yeah, and if that had happened in Detroit, the AP and other services would have spread it all over the country....and beyond.
But the national media still talks about shit that happened in Detroit 25 years ago. Since then, we've had 3 NBA championships, 4 Stanley Cups, 1 NCAA championship, and 1 World Series with no riots.Quote:

Yeah, like before the Pistons killed the Laker's, Jimmy Kimmel said he didn't want Detroit to win because we'd burn the city down.Quote:

Now the liberals can see what media bias and double standards mean.

I beg to differ. I specifically searched the NY Times before posting.
That's ridiculous. You can be happy about a championship without rioting.
Most cities don't have rioting after a championship win.
I just Googled the story, and 4550 news items showed up....
and the vast majority of them aren't major US news outlets
Still buy that myth created by the right wing, eh.Quote:

What about the Fox News love fest with any propaganda put out by the right?Quote:

So that pretty much makes it a draw, yet wing nuts still falsely claim all media is left wing biased.
And I'd be curious to see where ABC said they wont sell air time to the opposing P.O.V., especially since many of their radio stations carry Rush, Hannity, etc.
Don't hold your breath for a link or verifiable fact from Cc, according to him, he is always right.
I'll give him that, although, he means only "right-wing" .
Ever watch Fox? Notice the ever present dissenting opinion presence?
oh, yes, i have watched. 90% of the time, they barely let the "dissenting opinion" get a word in edgewise, the other 10% of the time, it's a phoney "dissenting opinion"
Alan Combs, Juan Williams, Bob Beckel, and Papolino [[from Godowntv) are fake? Or weak?
