This is actually a really smart move. Get angry and violent and you prove his point. Showing him love and that you don't care most likely infuriates him

[–]Nickkcuf 278 ポイント279 ポイント  (28子コメント)

I dont think that's love in the picture, more like humiliation.

[–]imsrslyyouguys 124 ポイント125 ポイント  (25子コメント)

Even better.

[–]Gopackgo6 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, you're right. But still showing it doesn't bother them.

Yes, but they are doing it together

I've seen this tactic employed at every single pride fest I've been to.

I went to the Gay Day Parade or whatever it's called in Cleveland this past summer, and all I saw was some very vocal, angry people trying to argue with the protesters there. I wish they would have just done what you've seen and/or just ignore them.

That's a bummer, and it's not really helping anyone.

I grew up in this town (Bloomington, IN). The Klan tried to organize a march/rally a couple years before this and the local newspaper responded by refusing to report on it. I assume it didn't happen, as surely someone would have seen it, but really I have no idea. They rendered it completely irrelevant by ignoring it.

They tried that shit in Toledo, bricks were thrown. So, I mean bricks work pretty good too.

I don't want my news sources to play moral arbiter on what I am and am not allowed to know about, I want them to report on significant things that are happening around town and I want to make my own decisions about them.

That one newspaper is not the only source of information available to you. All news media has political leanings and can choose to cover or not cover anything they like. It's not censorship, they just made an editorial choice not to provide a hate organisation with a platform.

If they wanted to cover it and were told they weren't allowed by government, that would be censorship.

If they were depending on the local newspaper to get the word out for their rally, there was never going to be a rally.

[–]fortrines 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

OP said he wasn't sure if it happened or not. Aside from that, what if the newspaper was on the other side of the coin and decided not to report on a black pride or a gay rights parade? They're a news source, not a nanny

[–]Brackner 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm not arguing for the okay of the censorship. I'm just saying it all sounds very fabricated (not by OP, but probably by small town gossip). How would OP know that the newspaper refused to report it? Did they announce that they were not going to? By them taking such a stance, they would (almost knowingly) be drawing more attention the rally.

It's a red herring!

lol

[–]bluntmasterflash -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I would vote for you on that statement alone!

[–]case9 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (4子コメント)

fuck the klan, but also fuck that newspaper for censoring itself. the press should be free and open, not constrained to only a single view point.

[–]plooroo 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Most newspaper's are private organizations. They're not obligated to report on anything.

[–]case9 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

– Support the open and civil exchange of views, even views they find repugnant.

They don't have to report on it, but they probably should as a local paper. I can't imagine there is much more important news in Bloomington.

To me it's a little scummy to purposely not report an event because you don't agree with it.

[–]plooroo 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not trying to be remotely snarky, but I want to point out that SPJ is also a private organization and its code of ethics does not apply to any and all newspapers. Most local newspapers are strapped for money, time and resources as is. They have to be discerning in what they spend their time reporting on, so while I'm personally neutral on the issue of whether or not to report on a KKK rally, I can understand why they would choose to not feature it in their publication. It could have way more to do with the KKK being a hate organization, you know?

I kind of feel you, but I also kind of don't. I'm a journalist for a local newspaper. The main reason I took this job was because I grew up with one newspaper that was so shitty that if you tried to wipe your ass with it, you'd end up worse than where you started. Hence, I chose to work for this start up that broke the monopoly on that publication and provided another viewpoint.

That being said, I think the whole point of--especially local--journalism is to improve the community. 90% of the time, the best way for a newspaper to do that is to report newsworthy events objectively to inform the citizens. The newspaper made a decision that in that scenario, they could help their community out more by not providing that organization publicity rather than covering an event, which from the sounds of it, may not have even been newsworthy anyway.

Also, that's not the newspaper censoring itself. That's a deliberate editorial decision. Censoring implies that some higher authority blocked the story from happening. It's more than a mere intellectual difference because the publication still holds the power to make that decision.

It doesn't prove his point, it only appears to.

If you get upset about some racist douchebag being an incredible racist, it doesn't prove his point. It's a completely natural and understandable reaction.

[–]Gopackgo6 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agreed. But ignorant people would use it to try and prove their point. Regardless, taking the high road is the better decision
