Here's One That Got Away

I would have thought this story would have got a mention from posters who scour the Daily Mail.

"I would have thought this story would have got a mention from posters who scour the Daily Mail"
...not when it's the muslim that is the victim.

Is that what Yoshiyuki Shinohara was doing too, divebuddy?

Why pixelate him but give his name?

[ummmm]

Scary.

"man pushes a woman wearing a hijab into an oncoming Tube train"

This is classic DM manipulation, then again to all its xenophobic readers it wouldn't be a story if the headline was merely "man pushes a woman into an oncoming Tube train".

How often does that happen?

Why has his face been pixilated?

Do they know who it is and have got him banged up or something?

DB.
The part where they feel the need to even mention that she was wearing a hijab. Twisted DB TWISTED, before you go off on one about it being a lie - oh too late.

There is an absolute MYRIAD of stuff out there that underlines the DM's well earned reputation, most of which is not necessarily from 'hand-wringers' or 'lefties' so there is no need to get all butthurt about it.

It's nothing to do with naivety and you are proving my point very effectively.
"...man pushes Muslim woman under train is much more newsworthy"
For Daily Mail readers particularly because one of their favourite topics is muslims or immigrants. It's pernicious nasty tabloid manipulation at its spectacular worst.
The DM feeds on the anger of its right-wing, intolerant "had enough of bloody immigrants!" "Had enough of dole scroungers!" "Had enough of law breaking layabouts!" readership and this feeds into it just as it is supposed to.

"Still, you carry on living in some sort of parallel universe; where the truth is always the exact opposite of what the Mail says" NO I DON'T, you fool - where do you get this from? You fill in the blanks in what I say with made up rubbish in exactly the same way as Bazwillrun does.

You just gave me an option of "made up" or "twisting" and I thought I'd made it clear that it was their usual practice of "twisting" the truth - I've never claimed that the DM just makes stuff up.

[Answerprancer]

Oh dear you're still not getting it - there is no need for them to mention that she was wearing a jihab ..and it would only be "newsworthy" for anyone biased against muslims.
Just because you can't understand what I say doesn't mean it's "gibberish".
Most of what I say?? Do you read ALL of my posts or are you just picking up on what I say to you? There is no need to lose your rag just because I called you a fool.

Why is it that nearly all "newsworthy" stories are associated with the daily mail?
