You have a point Charles, but be precise. The story was written by WJLA, not KOMO.

WJLA is an ABC affiliate also owned by Sinclair, but blame the staffers in Washington D.C - not Seattle.

"... [KOMO]'s dumping its pro-white terrorism trash in the heart of progressive Seattle."

What exactly should one expect, from a wholly-corps-owned neoliberal mass media? We long ago sold out 'our' precious Airwaves.

More Kochs' Klean Koal, everyone? (Have you tried their new ChoKolate koal? It's truly to Die for.

As they sow upon us their Lifestyle™ such shall we, the peeps now reap.

We used to watch KOMO4 news every day, but we now make a point to switch the channel anytime Boris Epshteyn or any other Sinclair flunkies show their mugs to start shilling for President ShitForBrains and his cadre of cretins..

@4 made a funny! He's so funny! Republican and right wingers are so quick witted with their cutting jabs and sharp humor. Seriously, here's a comprehensive list of all the super funny (like @ 4) late night talk show hosts:

Yes, this is from Sinclair, and not KOMO.

I remember that a group of visitors from Rhode Island were attacked in Seattle in August of 2015, just a little over 2 years ago. The attack occurred near the bus tunnel; the victims, 2 women and 1 man, were white and the attackers were a group of black men and women. While the attack was going on several other people on the street, also black, joined in the attack. Simply put, an attack on a small group of whites by a large group of white-hating blacks. The Stranger didn't even bother to report the event yet Charles Mudede decries KOMO 4 for not mentioning the fact that the attacker in that story was a white supremist.

Good work, Charles. Sinclair's editorial stance is Corporations Rule, Citizens are Viewer Demographics, hence their recent fine, as reported here. However, Charles, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming are stunningly beautiful states with many, many wonderful (even liberal) people. Yes, there are many Trump voting, anti-immigrant, gun toting yahoos there, as well. But Places are not people, and Places are populated with all types....Why, even Seattle has its fair share of blithering idiots and tone deaf morons....just look around :)

Read the Washington Post article.

The 16 y/o girl went to her parents and told them her “boyfriend” (he was caught in her bed) had told her that the “Jews were responsible for the 60 million who died in WWII!” They tried contacting the boys’ parents—nothing.

They then freaked out when they found him in her bed, told him to get the hell out of the house.

He went home got his gun(illegal to own a gun) went back and blew the parents away.

Shot himself but didn’t die. Critical condition.

Yeah posting swastikas and pix of Richard Spencer who coined “alt-right” on Facebook and blaming the Jews for the carnage of WWII?

Yeah he qualifies as a skinhead...or just got his history confused?

John Oliver devoted a show to Sinclair WAY back a long time ago in a galaxy...

No wonder LWT w Oliver keeps winning Emmys. Now if we only had leaders who would pay attention to Oliver!

@7

Where do you get your information that the people attacked were white and the attackers were all black? And if you have that information, then you should be able to say how many attackers there were--or if now, what the minimum number was. And if you do have verifiable evidence that the racial make-up of the people involved were as you claim, then do you have any evidence that this was a racial based attack, you know, the way there's actual evidence that being a Nazi was the reason the killer in Virginia murdered the girlfriend's parents? Because otherwise, it sounds like you're just peddling race-baiting bullshit that belongs on your dinner plate.

@12 I'll refer you to Seattle Times 08-26-15 as well as Christine Coleridge who wrote the story, ccoleridge@seattletimes.com, for details. The number of assailants were unknown but Q13 news did have some photos from surveillance cameras at the scene. As to proof that the attack was racially motivated why don't you try to get real. One of the black women try to burn one of the white women with a cigarette.

This is not race baiting; Mr. Mudede was complaining about cherry picked news reportage, this is just another example that occurred here in Seattle. You probably didn't hear about it at the time.

Excellent detective work @7! Too bad you had to go back more than TWO YEARS to dredge up a complete false-equivalency, because, for those of us who actually read the post, the incident (which, happened in Virginia, so not sure why you felt the need to mention a TWO YEAR OLD robbery & assault that happened HERE, NOT in Virginia) in question involved a White person murdering two other White people. No Black people anywhere in sight, but hey, why let little things like facts or context get in the way of some good whataboutery, am I right?

So, sorry to say but you're going to have to do better if you want to earn that Jeff Sessions approved "Junior G-Man" badge, but keep digging lil' buddy!

@13: Here's that article. However, only one assailant was described as black and the motives appear to be robbery rather than racial.

You must avoid extrapolating to preserve integrity.

@13

That's the article I did find, and as @15 pretty much says, you're making shit up on the basis of your own prejudices. However, just because you are offering a racially biased opinion does not mean you are offering facts.

Oh, and I guess @14 also says you are making shit up.

@13

I thought your handle looked familiar. I guess it was because of the gem of a comment the other day telling you that you have poor reading skills.

WJLA, KOMO, Kochs, Sinclair, ad nauseum--however you slice the Twitler bar of poop, I am SO glad I don't have a TV anymore. I fully agree with a Stranger Headline: The Midterms are Coming! The Midterms are Coming! Let's hope the outcome of 2018 proves infinitely better than everything since November 8, 2016.

Well, comrades what can I say? The article after all was about selective reporting and the incident I described just happened to come to mind. I didn't do any "detective work" until @12 asked for it. You go on with your selective reading and make up your own beliefs as dogma. As for my reading skills I'm still slogging through Dick, Jane, and Sally; a pity those works were not written in the stream of consciousness style. Could you imagine the series written as one long sentence. Maybe you guys can get a sinecure at the Stranger too.

@19:

Well, you got one thing here right: with your abilities Fun With Dick And Jane probably does feel a lot like what reading Finnegan's Wake does to most of the rest of us...

Such is the desperation of Mudede, he has to sift through the news of one killing (2,300 miles away) to find a perceived racial slight, and then chalk it up to corporatism, fulfilling his commitment to monotony.

And yet, just a bit closer --- but far more evident -- is a wholesale injustice, propagated by the hands of his political ilk, and abetted by community apologists. And yet with the death count steadily climbing in cities around the country, not a word from Mudede....

@10,11 I see your avatar used on a few twitter accounts. Who is the woman in the picture?

The one incontrovertible truth is that it would have been reported very differently had there been terror links to a non-white/non-Christian group. Radicalization foments in poverty, alienation, lack of positive role models and other root causes unrelated to religion or race.

Dotard has unintentionally set a high bar for his wing-nuts (e.g. 7, 19, 21). Not only do they have to LOOK at the news (hard enough), they have to PROCESS news articles thru their new TRUMPY FILTER to determine if they are ALLOWED to believe it. These are the rules:
1) Professionally written and fact-checked articles = fake news about reality.
2) Articles describing bad White People behavior = fake news, reverse racism by blacks and all others.
3) Mention of Guns = anti-christian fake news.
4) Mention of holocaust = fake news.
5) Mention of Nazi White Supremacists = many sides, or fake news.
6) Articles portraying wing-nut hypocrisy = anti-christian fake news.
7) Articles about mass shootings = anti-christian fake news.
8) When in doubt? WHATABOUT-ISM???

Please wait...
