Shaun King Was Wrong Again, Young Turks Delete Their Videos

Shaun King Was Wrong Again prompting the Young Turks Delete Their Videos.

Initially the left wing activist sought out a 40 year old white man as a suspect. But it turned out the white man was likely a witness to the event and was fleeing for his life. Police eventually arrested a suspect thanks in part to a tip received by Shaun King.

But the social justice activist has now repeatedly pushed false narratives likely creating more harm than good.

Shaun King should never be trusted - I've seen him leap to conclusions like this many times, and when he's proven wrong, he never corrects the record.

He also wrote about my former paper, calling it "extremely far right," which it most certainly is not, and didn't even bother to get the name of the paper right.

He's all agenda with no allegiance to fact as far as I can tell.

He seems a complete race baiter and makes racism a hundred times worse

What did he claim about your former newspaper?

I hope your paper make him look like the liar he is.

There was a police shooting of a man in Arlington, TX named Oshea Terry (still under investigation) and one of my colleagues did an in-depth look at the holes in the police story and what a witness said happened.

He wrote an entry on his blog where he called us, I believe, the "Fort Worth Star" (it's the Star-Telegram) and said we were a really far-right paper, so it was stunning we didn't try to whitewash the shooting.

Blimey, did you counter his blog article?

Young Turks? Is that the programme where they jump to conclusions?

The startlegram or Jim Wright gazette has never been right wing, even though they let that sanctimonious prick Richard Greene do editorials.

And the police did lie about that shooting. I actually got a private message from the police spokesperson (Cook) trying to "explain" things to to me.

Do you mean Jim Witt? He's been gone for years.

I don't think we ever published anything refuting his post, though the reporter who wrote the article on Terry may have replied on his blog. I never followed up; I just know she was really pissed off

This is what King wrote, and it was actually on Facebook:

My apologies to anyone from the Fort Worth, TX area but it happens to be one of the most racist places on earth. That’s why this article published in a very conservative paper, The Fort Worth Star News, blew me a way. It is an example of journalism with integrity. The writer took an under reported shooting, objectively gathered facts, and presented them in an informative and neutral way. That should be common enough ... but it is not. In Fort Worth, TX it’s unheard of. After learning a little more about this writer it seems she’s new to the paper, and this important article is, not surprisingly, not doing so well. It needs more “clicks” or engagements. I think we can help. Here it is. Enjoy: https://www.star-telegram.com/…/arlin…/article218995140.html

King is an elitist, whiney fake black dude with a shitty beard.

Just to refute some of his points here:

1) the Fort Worth area is not "one of the most racist places on earth." King's obviously never been here. Eddie, on the other hand, has spent two weeks here, going to all sorts of places, so you could ask her about the people here as an outside perspective.

2) It's not the "Fort Worth Star News." Lazy, sloppy, easily checked but he just didn't even bother.

3) It's not a "very conservative paper." I don't think a very conservative paper would have endorsed Beto O'Rourke for Senate.

4) That article wasn't ever "not doing so well;" I remember seeing it dominate the metrics board in the newsroom for days, with well over 100 concurrent readers for a lengthy time. I'd estimate that article was read by at least 20,000 people, perhaps as many as 50,000 (which is a lot).

5) He'd have no way of knowing how the story was performing without access to our metrics or by asking someone at the paper. We didn't know he knew about the article until he posted on Facebook, so he pulled that out of his ass as well.

Hahaha, he should start by retracting what he said about the Texas State Trooper falsely accused of sexually assaulting a black woman during a traffic stop. I wrote that one up:

https://www.star-telegram.com/news/state/texas/article211734544.html

By the way, Sherita Dixon-Cole promised to tell me her side of the story after I contacted her through Facebook. I never heard another peep out of her.

Anybody who believes that Shaun King character is a "black" person needs their eyes checked;
(Looking at those online photo's of him and comparing them to that video clip, I also wonder if he slapped the fake tan on before that appearance..).

I'm darker than that race-baiting hatemonger, yet I also have stated before that I usually think of myself as "caucasian", as that makes up around 7/8th of my heritage..

Down here, people with mixed backgrounds are often referred to as a "fruit salad" mix, even among themselves -- especially when some Aussies can have 4,5, 6 or more "ethnicities" thrown in there.

Never mind this Shaun King person, what about the videos which were deleted? As I understand it, Shaun King was hired by Young Turks, yes? What happened then? I can't find much info about it. Did he say things which the presenters just accepted without checking?

I have to say that I find those presenters a little biased, and they don't seem to check much before they spout off.

A few points:

* At least King had the decency to turn over a lead that appears to have exonerated the original suspect

* The Washington Post should realize it's the Texas Department of Public Safety and there is no Texas Department of Safety

* In America, you're traditionally considered black if you have enough black ancestry that you don't look white: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule

But he again never apologised for his false accusations, which raising racial tensions and death threats Ben

He is Mixed ethnically as you state, but raised by two white parents, though his dad was his adopted father.
His biological dad, is mixed race.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_King#Questions_regarding_race

But to say people dont look white, is what exactly when he has mixed racial features? Its as if the white features are some how wrong and bad. This is what is wrong with people like this. They are emphatically racist themselves looking at everything through a coloured glass lens on skin colour. He should be happy with both his heritage but clear sees something inherantly wrong with people classed as white. To me he has aspects of both white and black ancestry.

Again the man creates as much racial problems as the Far right with his constant hate and lies

He turned over the information  and was bragging on his page the next day how HE solved the case!  

Shuan isn't really the problem.  His tens of thousands of supporters that worship him and hate the white devils are.

I can easily point out the differences

Shaun is an advocate on the Internet and media

Nathan Phillips is generally at protests against taking Indgineous lands and at peace rallies

How are they even similar?

Shaun has countles times, (you compare this to two incidents with Nahan) spun stories for his own political agenda and has been caught out countless times

By the way he is also mixed ethnically

That's usually what folks that hate black people say.  After all, calling out one member of an ethnic group means you are racist towards all members of said group.  That's what I have learned the past few days.

I never once called you even racist

I said you had a subconscious racial or racist bias. Which means you are unaware when you do

You mocked the significance of the traditional song, basically being ignorant of their culture

So you have clearly learn plenty of the American right wing media to even skew over what I said to you

No surprise there then
