It seems like this story gets less attention than ones where a white woman called the police to snitch on black folks having a barbecue in a park.
Likely many folk are a tad more interested in the 10-12% loss of value in their 401k, than a local hate crime.

This idiot is not the face of her race.

Likely the media has a narrative that they adhere to, hence the differing attention paid to stories involving racial conflict. If the races had been reversed here, even if the physical violence was gone and only insults were thrown, the media, mainstream and social would be screeching to the skies.

"Barbecue Becky" is the greater sinner in the Current Year.

I don't know how to quantify media coverage of events but the name of the game is moving units.

Meanwhile, a simple google search brings up links to NYPost, DailyMail, NYTimes, Newstribune, Oregon Live....

"Barbecue Becky" is the greater sinner in the Current Year.
The NY Post picked up the incident in which that "thing" punched a stranger...nearly 3K miles away in Portland.

That's actually quite impressive.

Another poster mentioned the black-on-Jew violence in NYC. It took several high-profiled cases (complete with video) for even the local media to really pay attention there because that has been an ongoing problem for years. I'd be more upset with the fact that NYPD was pretty complacent this whole time. They "beefed up" patrols of some Jewish areas, especially in Brooklyn, as a response but only after the high-profiled incidents went down. That's not exactly a response most folks would like especially with the NYPD's long reputation of being an overbearing institution.

You'll definitely get a high percentage of liberal narrative from the MSM. No question about it. Don't discount a little "niche" reporting like we see here with the black on white assault in response to that though.

A complete psycho assaulting someone on public transportation is daily life in most large (especially liberal cities...which is redundant I know). I still remember the day as a kid my friend and I (I'm mostly black with the phenotype to match, he's white) sat through a public bus ride in which a black guy was ranting and raving about how "the white man was responsible for the buses being late and cramped" among other things.

When he exited, my friend and I just looked at each other and cracked up. No need to report it. No Tik Tok back then either which is another factor in these cases. Barbecue Becky had a lot of video to help move units.

Again, cultural conservatives need to write off the MSM. You'll get a little niche reporting as part of a response to the overall liberal MSM but other than that, and if there isn't juicy video, don't expect much.

Another day in Portland, another mentally ill person does something wacky and violent.

Nothing to see here.

You post the most vitriolic mean spirited hostility laced stuff all day long.
Yep. I sure do. It just comes pouring out.

Again, you really think she hates white people? Sounds more to me like she’s a nut.

The bolded reminds me of that CNN debates where they ask Sanders about the comments he supposedly made to Warren about a how a woman can win the presidency and after he denies saying that they turn to Warren and ask, so, when Sanders said that a woman can't win the presidency how did it make you feel......

She can think whatever she wants, just don't hit people, doesn't mean I think she hates white people.

What part of that do you not get here???

She may be a nutter or she might not like white people, I don't give a toss really. It's why I said she can think whatever she wants.

I didn't say it wasn't reported, but the attention and outrage are definitely milder.
