National Media Completely Ignore NY Man
Left Brain Dead By Attacker Shouting 'I Hate White People'

NewsBusters asked Saturday
if the media will report a New York man becoming brain dead as a result of an
unprovoked attacked by a man saying "I
hate white people."
So far
with the exception of local New York coverage, the answer is a resounding
"No."
Analyses of Google News,
LexisNexis, and closed-caption transcripts found absolutely no national
reporting of Jeffrey Babbitt, the 62-year-old retired train conductor now in a
coma at Bellevue Hospital.
Not one
word on ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, or NBC.
Potentially
even more curious, the largest newspaper in New York, the New York Times, appears to have not
reported this attack despite it occurring in its own backyard.
If
Babbitt were black, and his assailant shouted "I hate black people"
before inflicting what appears will be a death blow, would America's media be
so disinterested?
Or would
this be headline news much like what we saw with Trayvon Martin and George
Zimmerman?
Sadly, we
all know the answer as our media have once again shown that they are only
interested in white on black hate crimes.
The other
variety just don't fit the agenda.
*****Update:
It turns out the New York Times did report this
matter at its website Friday and in print Saturday. Unfortunately, the name of
the assailant was wrong and the article didn't include Babbitt's. That's why it
appeared this event had gone unreported.
Readers
are advised the errant report was a total of 152 words buried on page 21.
I guess
that's the importance the Times gives to
black on white hate crimes.

UPDATE - THE MAN WHO WAS BRAIN DEAD, HAS NOW BEEN RULED DEAD. MURDERED BY A RACIST BLACK.---HM
……………..
The M60 bus
An attacker pummeled a bus passenger so hard he smashed the
bones in his face after calling the victim a “cracker” in Manhattan – marking
the second time in two days that people appeared to be randomly targeted in
racial tirades against white people, authorities said.
In the latest incident, the suspect passed a 31-year-old rider
on the M60 bus riding through Harlem, on West 127th Street, between Amsterdam
Avenue and Morningside Drive, around 2:45 p.m., Friday, when he shouted the
racial slur and punched the victim in the face, breaking his nose and eye
socket, cops said.
The victim was treated for facial fractures at New York
Presbyterian Hospital and released, police said.
The incident occurred as authorities reported that Jeffrey
Babbitt, 62, fell into a coma after being punched and knocked to the ground in
Union Square Park on Wednesday. He was taken off life support and died Monday,
sources said.
In that case, a 31-year-old allegedly yelled that he was going
to “f— up” the next white person he saw, before clocking Babbitt so hard that
witnesses reported hearing his skull crack on the pavement.
Two people who tried to help the victim were also punched but
refused medical attention at the scene, law enforcement sources said.
The assailant waited for police to arrest him and Police
Commissioner Ray Kelly said the assault was being investigated as a hate crime.
The suspect in the Harlem attack is 5-foot-11, 185 pounds and is
believed to be in his late 30s.
