Grooming gangs 'are abusing girls across the UK', victims and investigators warn

Why aren't the BBC reporting on the Iran uprisings? Am I only person who feels that if the Iranian regime falls that could be existential with regards to what we've seen in the West? Crickets.
 
When major unrest or revolt occurs in Iran, Western nations often mishandle the moment, either by acting too cautious, too blunt, or on their own short-term interests rather than Iranian political realities. I'm not saying the West caused or causes Iran's issues or has any obligation to act (properly or not), but I am saying we tend to fuck up the chance to capitalize on openings in Iran. Don't get your hopes up.

Anecdotal, but I've noticed that often many media sites put up articles but don't promote them. It covers their back so when people say "Why isn't the main stream media following X story" someone can search for it and wave it back in their face telling them that they are. But they only find the article by specifically searching for it.

When people say that MSM aren't reporting on a story it often means that they aren't promoting it like they are others.

I just had a look at the BBC front page and I don't see one article on Iran. You have to search for it to see anything.

Bingo. They know the average person just looks at the headlines and only sees what they want you to see front and center in the 8 second attention span cycle.

This has quietly been happening in Berlin and there is no media coverage whatsoever

A far-left terrorist group called Vulkan, who also attacked and vandalized the Tesla Gigafactory in Berlin (that's the only reason I know about them), destroyed critical power infrastructure and knocked out power for 45,000 people in the dead of Germany's winter. Sources claim they learned how to sabotage the infrastructure from Russian groups and were able to do it so effectively that nearly a week later power has not been restored

Europe seems helpless against even the tiniest disruption fomented by outside forces

I saw a report of this on the TV at the gym. A quick google search shows that it's been widely reported by just about every media outlet worldwide.

For example:

CBS three days ago:
www.cbsnews.com

Berlin mayor calls left-wing arson attack behind massive power outage terrorism that endangers lives

As left-wing extremists claim an attack that's plunged Berliners into the dark and cold, the mayor says it isn't "just arson or sabotage," it's terrorism.

Oh wow! One whole article instead of wall-to-wall coverage applying pressure as people freeze.

If they were 'far right' groups, it would be wall-to-wall 24/7. Bet.

That's a great example of creating just enough evidence for plausible deniability.

They do mention the activist group in the first five lines, but they don't use the term far-left until way down in the article (where few will bother to read to), but it's important that they do because now someone can turn up with the receipts and say "Hey look, I specifically searched for the article you mentioned and it does exist and states far-left, so this is just another conspiracy".

It's almost as if I wrote the exact playbook in this very thread on Monday:

Do you want me to post every single article? There's probably a hundred. I'm not going to do that. Just try googling it. It's everywhere.

Googling it will get you the results because you're searching for it. How do you search for news you don't know about? You don't, you go to a site like the BBC and look at the front page.

I was quoting the CBS article. Regardless - climate activists are almost always far left, so I'm not sure why you think this is a distinction even worth quibbling over.

It's running on the news cycle - like I said, there's been TV coverage of it for the last few days. Most of the people here who complain about the MSM spend more time reading about caricatures of the MSM on social media than actually watching it, so it's not surprising you folks don't know what they actually report.

As far as Iran goes, its the no. 1 news story on the BBC world news twitter page and their news splash page, it's the no. 2 news story on the CBS world page after Venezuela, no.3 on CNN after two stories about Venezuela, is one of the 5 headline stories on ABC world splash page, not covered on MSNBC, no. 2 on the CBC world page after Minnesota, is one of three headlines on DW English.

On Monday the BBC had nothing, which was where my original point came from.

I do look at the front pages of news websites to compare what is being shown vs what is known to be happening. I also subscribe to feeds from a range of news outlets covering most angles. This isn't an exclusive left wing media thing, you can be sure as shit to see other bias on the front pages of things like the Daily Express or Mail as you can on The Guardian or BBC.

I just noticed how there was a flaw in when people say things like MSM aren't covering X because you'd often get someone turning up with evidence that they were, but it's often in how that article is handled.

It's no revelation, watch any insider story on the news, or watch a fictional show like season five of The Wire. News always has an angle, it's why we have phrases like "Bury the lede", and talk of front page news, headline news, cause someone in the system decides what goes up top, front and centre.

Yeah but they hid the left wing four words into the title - no-one reads that far, and they use terrorism instead of calling the actual people terrorists.
It's clear as day how they are trying to hide it. Most people will just read 'Berlin Mayor' and not even know anything happened.
 
We have all sorts of strange new laws that don't make any sense about what is and isn't allowed when it comes to internet porn. So with grok making nude women they'll say it's "revenge porn" and ban it for that reason I guess.
 
I despised Twitter for years. I don't really like X. I never thought I would advocate for them let alone consider joining an actual protest. What a state we are in.

Even so though, they wasn't actively employing rapists in their police force overseeing vulnerable young girls and women.

This is a whole other kettle of fish.

Yeah women are catty and do ridiculous things to each other to get a leg up, but this?

This is evil. It goes way beyond the usual stuff.

A state-funded computer game is warning teenagers that they risk being referred to Government counter-terrorism programme Prevent if they question mass migration, with even researching immigration statistics online portrayed negatively. The Telegraph has the story.

Article:
Pathways is an interactive game designed for 11 to 18 year-old pupils and funded by Prevent, a Home Office programme for tackling extremism.

Young players are directed to help their in-game characters – a white teenage boy and girl – to avoid being reported for "extreme Right-wing ideology" after discussing migration online.

Characters can face extremism referrals if they choose to engage with groups that spread "harmful ideological messages", or join protests against the "erosion of British values". Even researching online immigration statistics is portrayed negatively.

Other in-game pitfalls include sharing a video that claims Muslim men, rather than homeless veterans, are being given emergency accommodation.

An in-game meter monitors how extreme the character's behaviour is. Those who "lose" may be given counselling to deal with "ideological thoughts" or referred to an anti-terrorism expert.

The game was developed with Government backing by councils in East Yorkshire over growing concerns about immigration and tensions about migrant accommodation in their communities.

School pupils asked to play Pathways must first choose their character, either a boy or girl named Charlie, who has recently joined college after leaving school.

Charlie – described throughout the game using the pronoun "they", regardless of the gender chosen – is faced with a number of choices, and players make decisions based on multiple-choice questions. These are marked red for bad and green for good.

The first is whether or not to download a video shared on a gaming platform: players are asked to choose between telling an adult; discussing the video to find out more, or sharing it.

Then Charlie, who is outperformed by a black student at college, must decide whether or not to accept his misfortune or blame immigrants for "stealing jobs".

After this, Charlie comes across a video that claims "Muslim men are stealing the places of British veterans in emergency accommodation" and "the Government is betraying white British people and we need to take back control of our country".

Charlie can scroll past it or "engage directly with the post". Choosing to engage leads to the message: "Unfortunately, Charlie didn't realise that some of the groups they were engaging in were actually illegal."

He or she can also "find out more about the topic", but this research is framed negatively. The character is shown being bombarded with research papers, statistics, information about protests and other material regarding the "'replacement' of white people".

After this, he or she continues browsing and encounters "lots of harmful groups who agreed with these sentiments". The game adds: "Charlie began taking in a lot of harmful ideological messages. In fact, some of the groups were actually illegal."

Charlie is asked to join a group called Action for Britain, with the option of ignoring the request. He or she is later invited to attend a protest against "the changes that Britain has been through in the last few years and the erosion of British values".

The character can decline, but if they attend he or she is almost arrested and learns that the protest seems "more about racism and anti-immigration than British values".

After the player completes Pathways, a screen says: "Congratulations! On completing all the scenarios. Let's explore the consequences of your character's choice and see what lies ahead."

Then, if Charlie has made moderately bad choices, the character is referred to Prevent by a teacher. He or she is given counselling and attends workshops to learn to "engage positively with ideology and the differences between right and wrong in expressing political beliefs".

What does that even mean? Do they mean "Charlie was referred to Prevent and Channel"?, whatever Prevent and Channel is.

At least support the British values of spelling and grammar.

So far boiling frog effect in action. Modern British people are too docile and changes are too slow to trigger revolution style event (like in Iran right now).

Voting out of it is IMO not possible, all parties are the same shit (this is my perspective from the outside), they represent the same agenda behind the scenes. Revolution is needed or it will keep getting worse.

And here I was thinking that the rape of 3000 girls by Muslims was extremist. Or Muslims plowing cars into Christmas markets. Or Muslims shooting up Synagogues were extremist. Or Muslims blowing up Metro stations, airports and busses was extremist.
But I guess I was wrong. Not wanting to get murdered or raped is the extremist attitude.

Conservative party that ruled before labour only accelerated migration and just like all other ruling parties turned the blind eye on child rape.

Farage party is some hope but personally I think he will sere the same overlords as all others.
