    Matt Walsh: Dishonest Media’s Obsession With Stoking Racial Division On Full Display | The Daily Wire

    Daily Wire host Matt Walsh blasted the dishonest media’s obsession with stoking racial division by reporting on a false story about a pregnant hospital worker accused of stealing a black man’s bike instead of covering the murder of white handyman Lawrence Herr by two black suspects in Louisiana.

    Walsh said police arrested two black men – Taj Matthews, 23, and Maurice Holmes, 25 in the murder. A lead detective with the Kenner Police Department testified recently that one of the suspects told police “they wanted to go out and kill a white guy,” according to 4WWL.


    “Now, no mainstream media outlet in the country has covered this story,” Walsh continued, noting he’s not seen it on Fox News, CNN, The New York Times, or any other major outlets. However, he said the one you are hearing about in the media is the false story involving a pregnant hospital worker Sarah Comrie — who was accused of stealing a black man’s bike.


    “Instead they spent the past week going wall to wall with an obviously fake story about a pregnant white physician’s assistant in New York City who supposedly decided to, out of nowhere one day, terrorize some black people,” the host added. “And yet no media outlets did any research or investigation into this version of events. We were supposed to simply accept it at face value, and many people did. And they did so based entirely on this out-of-context video.”

    It's not just the media pushing this racial bullshit, so is the leftist wackos, we even have several on TH.

    Par for the course. I started to really notice this back in 2012.

    I hope that lady successfully sues the media just like that one kid did.

    His complaint is that they should have covered a potentially racially charged murder instead? Lol ok, Walsh is one of the most vile people on the planet.

    I don't know a lot about Walsh, but from what I have read he certainly is trying to stoke racial tension, too.

    That said, yes, there is a double standard in national coverage depending on the race of the perpetrator and the race of the victim. White-on-black gets far more coverage than black-on-white.

    Good lead story this morning about a guy plowing a Uhaul into the White House with nothing in it but a Nazi flag lol. Convenient right after Biden claims white supremacists are the biggest threat.

    Matt Walsh refers to himself as a "Theocratic Fascist" in his Twitter bio. He believes that multiculturalism is a failed experiment and has not gone well for America - I'm sure American Indians find that funny. He often jumps in to question reporting or change the subject when it comes to White Nationalism. He's one of the last people who should be lecturing the media (of which he is a part) about stoking division.

    What’s wrong with division when it’s a bad thing to be united.

    I'm pretty sure he once posted about how more people should say the N word too (though it was more of a bizarre anti-PC rant defending a guy who had used it)

    I don't watch any cable news so I I'm asking....was there really "wall to wall coverage" over the past week on the bike story? Or was it just covered in the NY Post?

    Well, one thing he points out I think is true.

    It's not just that the left and right media always differ on the actual reporting. There are so many stories out there that they get to cherry pick which stories they want to cover and in how much depth, if any. They often suggest an initial narrative and skim over subsequent clarifying information. That's not exclusive to either side, particularly when videos go viral and everybody wants to have a hot take. Everybody needs to slow their roll a little bit.

    Maybe Walsh doesn't think media standards should apply to him because he's just an opinion guy. But these guys make millions and probably have more influence than journalists at the NYT and cable news. I've never heard a balanced or nuanced view from Walsh about anything.

    The best part of asking questions like this is that there is no metric or measure that will satisfy anyone. I'm not sure why anything mentioned in that article is news worthy TBH.

    That's your opinion, I believe what he said is very factual.
