I tend to think our media are bad for this but there is no question that yours are worse. <br /><br />The BBC is notorious for whitewashing the race of criminals... and yet it has a monthly programme called 'Crimewatch' which features dozens of mugshots and cctv clips of vibrant criminals, with barely a paleface to be seen (and you can be sure they include as many of the latter as possible).

It will at least usually identify a black suspect or criminal as black. And when it doesn't, it will publish a photo. Our newspapers--and I read news articles from all over the U.S.--are far more reluctant to mention the race of a non-white suspect or criminal. They even avoid publishing names and photos if the perps are non-white. Of course, let a suspect be white and prior criminal activity, gun ownership, white nationalist ties, etc. will all be stated or implied, if at all possible.Kylienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-12720477725411242762011-12-11T20:31:51.286-08:002011-12-11T20:31:51.286-08:00Something about some obscure sport called the leap...Something about some obscure sport called the leap and plunge or something to that effect.Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-89835226632148898422011-12-11T12:37:06.405-08:002011-12-11T12:37:06.405-08:00Oh yes, Whiskey's squeals of "don't t...Oh yes, Whiskey's squeals of "don't talk about this Steve!

The Rev Jeremiah Wright and Bob Barr being my favourite example.<br /><br />As for the Eye, whilst I occasional buy a copy to while away an hour on a train journey, its recurrent jokes and satire seem horribly stale. Its investigative journalism was always lefty establishment (Paul Foot, Francis Wheen), and it is as cosily mainstream as the BBC (for whom its editor Ian Hislop has written and presented many programmes) nowadays. The "from the messageboards" is a particular dull effort as the below the line comments at places like the Guardian contain the most interesting commentary on the news of today (and indeed led me to Steve's site some years ago).Salopiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-39539537109702312902011-12-09T12:49:44.531-08:002011-12-09T12:49:44.531-08:00By the way, Malcolm Gladwell pops up in this (only...By the way, Malcolm Gladwell pops up in this (only mediocre, considering the subject matter) <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b017srys" rel="nofollow">BBC documentary about Bobby Fischer</a>, which also had a very limited UK cinema release.<br />Malcolm points out that, although Bobby no doubt had a superior brain, he wouldn't have become a supreme chess player without lots and lots of practice.Drawbacksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-668437976817513782011-12-09T12:07:38.469-08:002011-12-09T12:07:38.469-08:00I tried to introduce the term 'Ken Beefman'...I tried to introduce the term 'Ken Beefman' (in part inspired by Steve's invocation of 'beefy winbreaker wearing men' who happened to be massacred by Omar Thornton), to describe a general type of bluecollar American worker.You know the tye, the solid middle class working stiffs who built America, large and brawny in build, of Germanic origins, stolid and reliable - but utterly, utterly stiffed by both Democrats and Republicans.<br /> 'Ken Beefman' was supposed to be a stock, cartoon character rather like John Bull or Uncle Sam, 'cept no one was interested and it died on its feet.<br /> Perhaps I should change my iSteve handle from 'Anonymous' (I'm responsible for a great deal of posts here) to 'Ken Beefman'.<br /> Posters only known as 'anonymous' - now there's a real iSteve beef.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-39921478632507661972011-12-09T10:21:46.814-08:002011-12-09T10:21:46.814-08:00"Private Eye was the inspiration for a short ...<i>"Private Eye was the inspiration for a short lived but memorable magazine called Spy magazine out of New York in the very late 80's."</i><br /><br />Yes, too short-lived and still missed.<br /><br />I was only able to reconcile myself to its demise years later--right here on this blog, when I first saw Steve use the adjective, "Gladwellian".
