If Pundits count, Shaun King spread news about a Texas DPS who was accused of sexually assaulting someone he arrested
Too lazy to check; people know Dankula's second appeal was rejected and that Canadian judge ruled against HBR?
Completely exonerated after police body cam footage was released
But as a result of Shaun King reporting false information
he got not one, but two DPS officers and their entire families threatened
Sure enough, he turns around and turns himself into the victim of the story as well.
Perhaps we should be thankful at least the media haven't gotten people killed way more often.
I'm surprised how difficult it is to find an example.
Given the Lynch Mobs of the Left, it's a damned miracle.
Lies get people killed all the time, but I can't think of anything specific to the news.
I think it's more that it's hard to find a micro-example.
The entire situation is so large in scale
It's hard to find specific instances you can point to without months of context
Once it happens once, if the media doesn't condemn it enough, it'll open the flood gates
On a more conspiratorial side, how many suicides are reported after lynch mobs?
Suicides are generally not reported by news organizations on ethical terms.
--OH
Well I know how the media gets people killed.
Not fake news.
But showing the faces of school shooters and shit.
Mmmhmm
I mean it's not fake news, it's highly fucking irresponsible horseshit news.
They shouldn't show Serial Killers' faces on the news for the same reason they shouldn't report on suicides.
well there is a flip side, depends on when they report it
I didn't even see the face of that last shooter.
if there is face of a serial killer they are trying to catch, should they not show it?
And I guess that's because I follow Daily Wire.
they're aiding in terrorism too by sensationalizing terror and helping people be scared of it
Ben absolutely hates that shit.
terrorists win when people are afraid
Threatening people with violence WORKS!
i think i can make the argument that news cause economic harm by giving an exaggerated perspective on violence about countries so they lose tourism unnecessarily
countries? They do that with flyover states all the time
The youtube video about muhammed and the whole benghazi peopledied there
That's pretty funny.
That was fake news apparently
The sheer cowardice in the aftermath of Charlie Hebdo was the most pathetic thing I'd ever seen in my life.
The attack was apparently planned well in advance of the video being released
"Yeah but... don't you think they deserved it?"
