In Germany, friends and readers describe to me how they are learning anew how to read their daily newspapers. When the news says that ‘A person was killed by another person’ for instance, and no names or other identifying characteristics are given, people guess – correctly – that the culprit is probably of migrant background. For the time-being serious crimes are still reported, but the decision has been taken that the public should not really be informed about them.
Douglas Murray on things you mustn’t notice. One of these.
Not unique. Back in the 1970s I recall newspaper articles in the ‘Cleveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer’ omitting the race of suspects and fugitives when describing them…
“A person was killed by another person”
Increasingly common in crime reporting here in Canada. One wonders why the media even bother.
(Also often accompanied by weasel-worded statements from officialdom: “I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation, etc., etc.”)
So a degree in journalism will take less time…W4…
WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY
No more who? Oh well, the names are similar-sounding, we get it.
The news will now be in code. No worries.
It is actually just W3… they have also taken out of the why (think – honor killings). And often the where (reserve) , if it might be racist or Islamphobic.
People still read that stuff?
…
Why?
There is a venomous snake outside your door. Your paid security guard opens the door and lets it in. The snake bites your child and the child is dead. You give the security guard a raise.
Who is at fault? The snake, the security guard, the child or you?
like the newspapers in the USA that got tired of racist (or “racist”) comments and refused to mention the ethnicity? But used words like “Was wearing a doo-rag”?
We had two people shot in my community last week. No info about the perps (or victims in this case — may have been gang related), so this is common practice now. The deliberate obscuring of the truth so that the grand social experiment in diversity can continue. Do read Murray’s complete article as it is thought provoking.
Read his book on the death of Europe. Excellent.
Old German folktale:
There was once a stupid farmer who left the doors and windows open in his chicken coop. So the weasels got inside and started killing all his hens. And then the stupid farmer said, “Mein Gott, mein Gott, zee wiesels are my hühnerstall in. I must a hammer get and nail shut zee door!”
I wrote about this a decade ago. Sadly, nothing’s changed.

“a group of teens” is the american news media way of describing a gang of minority teenagers perpetrating a flash mob robbery
I suspect most of us have adopted the same strategy in interpreting media news stories and identifying their blatant pushing of that truly evil narrative…. white/Christian=bad, color/Muslim=good.
As per Sweden, France, Britain, Germany and the other major victims of the EU, I do see a backlash from non-immigrants coming, but will it be faaar too late? I refuse to give up hope…. yet, anyways. When it does happen, there will probably be much blood shed, but hopefully it will be followed by many treason trials for the politicians who aided and abetted these nation-killing foreign invasions.
No party affiliation means it’s a good story about a conservative or a bad story about a liberal.
“youths” means black people
Names and descriptions missing means some guy named Mohamad did it
Our media has taken it upon themselves the very rewarding task of hating our guts and believing we’re idiots.
Heh,
the other day, a radio station in Vancouver heroically reported that the culprits in an assault were “non-white”.
Isn’t that cool?
Could it be some kind of newspeak?
It could even be non-people.
Could be anything as long as it was non-white.
Or it could be described as non-white people kind individual of undetermined gender when a description of a perpetrator is required!
Dindo tribe.
This reminds me of the code that my family used for many decades. If an extended family member in the Soviet Union died of natural causes the letter would read, ‘Johann died of a heart attack’, but if the death was by government then the letter would read, ‘Johann died’. The Soviet ‘World Joy Bringers’ never caught onto the code.
Btw, ‘World Joy Bringers’ was my paternal grandfather’s favourite description of the communist filth.
You think it’s any different here in Toronto?
For the last few years the Toronto newspapers have been hiding the race and descriptions of most non-white criminals. But if a white man commits a crime in Toronto every single detail about him is reported including whether or not he has bad breath, LOL!
Now remember people are people, unless they are white men, or Christian, or Satan Jew, or Trump likers , or NON-progressive, or … umm, mean spirited, or not Louis Farrakhan, or ….
Never mind, racist. Obviously it’s impossible to carry on an unserious conversation with those intolerant people they can’t stand.
I read German online news daily and it is surreal: everybody knows the code words (a “man” or “several men” did this or that) used in the articles and it would be funny to read the comment sections if it weren’t so deadly serious. The subjects of these news stories is invariably knife attacks, honor killings, rapes, gang violence, etc.; the flow of such stories is continuous; it wasn’t like this in Germany some 4 years ago. It seems here to stay now.
In Germany we also have tax-funded media (ARD, ZDF) like Canada’s CBC; brainwashing and mainstream opinion journalism at its finest; anybody who informs themselves exclusively from these sources cannot have a clear idea of what is really going on.
