If it wasn't for fake hate crimes there might be none at all

What a horrible spin on a fake hate crime. In no way is it positive and it's not the only time it has occurred. What it does is take away from real hate crimes, cases like this should always be examined before journalists jump to conclusions. If conclusions haven't been determined by evidence concurred by law, they shouldn't make conclusions in their writings. They repeatedly do that which makes the value of journalism as a whole dramatically drop. The huge issues it can cause is by people not reading updates and just assuming the first conclusions were correct.

As example, I recall watching a black guy explaining a story that widely spread through media of two white men doing a drive by and killing a little black girl. It thrived in media, then the actual truth was finally discovered by law enforcement. It was a drive by done by two black males and very few media outlets or journalists even updated people on the real facts that eventually surfaced. In a sense, doing something like that is a hate crime, intentionally driving wedges between blacks and whites. Too many Journalists and media outlets really suck today. With the material they produce, it's as if they intentionally wish to divide people.

On the upswing I hear Elon Musk is trying to produce a fix for this problem by creating a site used so people can rate journalists, as no surprise many journalists are attacking him for it. So he put a poll up to see what the people want and over 80% of the people who voted said yes, they would desire a site where people can rate journalists.

Polls have been done to get an understanding of how many people can trust media sources and the percentage of people that felt news was largely untrustworthy was pretty high, I think 65%-75%

Hate crimes are still very real and most of them are done towards people with disabilities. They don't seem fake to me.

I'm not looking for a fight...but...
You seem to be engaging illogical thinking...
Your reply indicating hate crimes by the Republicans in no way refutes Darmok's "full of shite"comment you posted above...
I am convinced(know) hate crimes are perpetrated on both sides of the political divide...

Bwahahahaha!

OMG!
For once I agree with you!
Oh the humanity!

Edit: The Smollett media disaster is one of the best things that could have happened for the Republicans...
Trump must be ROTFLHAO!
The egg on the faces of those who jumped to conclusions to feed their confirmation bias could feed the poor of the world for a year...

This applies to the other side of the political divide when it happens...
I am omni cynical...

Then he treats his opinions like it is a religion, you try to reason but he still couldn't listen to anything that contradicts his own little opinion. Where else do we see that sort of thing?

Jackson [Michigan] gay rights leader accused of burning down own home

Jackson — When the home of Nikki Joly burned down in 2017, killing five pets, the FBI investigated it as a hate crime.

After all, the transgender man and gay rights activist had received threats after having a banner year in this conservative town.

In the prior six months, he helped open the city’s first gay community center, organized the first gay festival and, after 18 years of failed attempts, helped lead a bruising battle for an ordinance that prohibits discrimination against gays.

For his efforts, a local paper named him the Citizen of the Year.

Authorities later determined the fire was intentionally set, but the person they arrested came as a shock to both supporters and opponents of the gay rights movement. It was the citizen of the year — Nikki Joly.

Right:

1) The OP is clearly trolling, with particular reference to the egregiously offensive title, as well as the later claim that only right-wing people care about Chicago's murder rate. WrongPlanet's rules do not allow users to post in a provocative or belittling manner; it is not surprising that this OP has drawn some irate responses.
2) The OP has a long history of support for far-right extremists. This is generally done within our rules, however on this occasion the OP has pushed the boundaries and clearly crossed the line.
3) The OP is clearly trying to push their far-right agenda by using a single incident to deny the existence of hate crime. This is horrendously offensive.

While WrongPlanet is aware that members with extremist opinions can be valuable members of the community, we won't allow far-right propaganda to, erm, propagate.

Consequently, thread locked.

Edit: in the interests of transparency, another post came in as I was preparing this one. The locking decision was not related to that post.
