Shockingly (not really since the Weekly Standard is a neocon (aka liberal in disguise/controlled opposition) rag), no mention of the UVA Rolling Stone case last year, where Jewish “journalist” Sabrina Rubin Erdely fabricated a rape hoax story against the White members of a fraternity. In a just world, the individuals who pulled that story apart and exposed the hoax would have deservedly received Pulitzer Prizes for investigative journalism. Instead it got memory holed and Erdely kept her job.

When it comes to the actual reality of violent crime, one need look no further than the statistics. A little known fact is that the DOJ until this year counted Hispanics as Whites in their criminal statistics reporting.

Quote:
Using figures for the 2013 racial mix of the population–62.2 percent white, 17.1 percent Hispanic, 13.2 percent black–we can calculate the average likelihood of a person of each race attacking the other. A black is 27 times more likely to attack a white and 8 times more likely to attack a Hispanic than the other way around. A Hispanic is eight times more likely to attack a white than vice versa.
...

We can also calculate how often criminals of each group choose victims of other races. As indicated below, when whites commit violence they choose fellow whites as victims 82.4 percent of the time, and almost never attack blacks. Blacks attack whites almost as often as they attack blacks, and Hispanics attack whites more often than they attack any other group, including their own.

I would not go as far as to say tbe WS is how you described it. It has some very good writers on staff. But, I do not read every article.

On which point, perhaps the story you mentioned had run its course and would be somewhat of a distraction?

Since the article goes so far as to mention the “presumed rape” of a different girl at UVA who as it turned out was abducted and murdered by a black guy at about the same time, it seems bizarre that they would leave out the rape hoax story that single-handedly tarnished what little reputation Rolling Stone had.

I don’t read the Weekly Standard so they may well have some good writers on staff. However, the leaders of the Washington neocons are former Trotskyists/communists who suspiciously switched parties during the 60s and 70s. They were kicked out of the Reagan administration for being Israeli warmongers, came to power during Bush II’s reign, and are still influential insiders under Obama, who constantly push for military escalation in the Middle East. The head honcho of the neocon movement is Bill Kristol, the founder of the Weekly Standard. Most of the neocon leadership are dual-citizen traitors who belong in prison.

You should look into the ‘alt-right,’ I think you would like it, trueblue. That’s the source of the rights’ real news media of today, whereas sources like the Weekly Standard are mostly for yesteryears' conservatives, and are too often out of touch. Radix Journal posts a lot of articles about this recent split in the conservative movement, especially with regard to the National Review.

And keep the threads coming.

Good point(s). And , I would like to say a few things about RS Magazine, which surely are not in an affirmative or affectionate context.
