Spot the Idiot
April 1st 2008 19:44
I've found 'The Sun' to be quite the newspaper... if you're an idiot. As an example let me present to you one of their articles. Keep in mind I'm not going to reproduce anything here besides the title, you can go see the article for yourself here.
The title is:
Clearly misspelled to poke fun at the Palestinian boy.
My question is, how many American kids his age could write that same sentence in a foreign language? Not necessarily Arabic or Chinese or Russian, any non-English language will do.
Heck, let's make it even easier.
How many Americans can write a word from a foreign language?
Let me make it even easier.
How many caucasians can write a word in a foreign language? Just look at it statistically and get back to me on this.
Let's just sit and think for a moment.
Anyone who considers "The Sun" to be a serious publication should ask themselves one simple quesiton. Is the sarcasm crude sarcasm warranted and has the writer of the article even back checked the facts?
If you look at it with any sort of intelligence and objectivity it would be quite obvious that boy is pretty damned smart for writing in a foreign language. While some kids his age in the first world can't even write in their native toungue this kids doing quite well with a broken education system.
Is there any more proof needed of the outright bias this article has? If you still aren't convinced then nothing can convince you. If you like to side with cowards who not only refuse to treat a story with any sort of objectivity but also are too afraid to reveal their names for fear of ridicule then by all means.
