Malkin\’s Media Experiment
336 words.

Michelle Malkin is looking to prove the infamous liberal media bias again: Meet The 7-Year-Old Racist Poet.
Apparently, a while back, there was a young pair of cute blonde-haired, blue-eyed girls spreading messages of “white nationalism” (aka. white supremacy) with bubble-gum pop music. (I’m just assuming it’s bubble-gum pop music, I haven’t actually heard it.) The cute girls were, of course, merely puppets of their white nationalist mother. Malkin says the MSM was all over these girls like, ahem, white on rice.
Now there’s a 7-year-old black girl reciting poetry condemning white nationalism and generally speaking out about how much white people screwed over her people (there’s a news flash). The poem on Malkin’s site apparently caused an outrage at some school somewhere or another, though I found it fairly tame.
Malkin clearly hasn’t learned how the media works in today’s world. Journalists are inherently lazy; they are basically spoon-fed stories from the public. White Supremacist Girl Group most likely called up the media through their mom/publicist(s), sent them a bunch of talking points, and invited them to conduct interviews, hoping to gain popularity (and sales) through the exposure. It probably worked.
So Malkin’s media equality experiment will be meaningless unless Black Supremacist Poetry Girl does the same kind of publicity stunt.
But even if she does… uh, black people condemning white people is not exactly news. It’s like, everywhere all the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in television, movies, and music. On the other hand, white people celebrating white nationalism is a little more unusual these days. (At least on the record.) So I’d say the chances are pretty good that Malkin is going to be happy with the results of her experiment, and we won’t be seeing Black Supremacist Poetry Girl on the nightly news anytime soon.
- I keep forgetting to put my name on these. I know it’s silly, but I get a cheap thrill out of seeing my writing show up on web searches.
