Mainstream media burying Ortiz details

Manny was banging the wife of a major D.R. Gang leader, an insult to his macho Hispanic manhood, so he had to get revenge.

Boston Globe will never report that cuz of Manny's god-like rep. there and that paper always has to be PC.

For days they have scrambled for a (false) alternative narrative to explain why Papi got hit.

Now they are saying it was planned in prison and another guy was the target and Big Papi got shot by accident.

All the suspects’ lives are in danger; anything negative about Ortiz, true or false, only hurts their chances. Possibly even whoever ordered the hit isn’t powerful enough to face any association with this crime. The whole truth may never be known, but the suspects have few options. It’s a tough deal, but mainstream media seem more dignified than anyone else.

Damn those media bastards. Not only did they suppress the drug lord's girlfriend story, it turns out it was Manny Ramirez the whole time.

Ha ha, yeah & manny had a bad rep & they’ve reversed it!

MSM are so PC, they can actually tell all those Latino sluggers apart!

Oriz was anointed a "great guy" by the press a long time ago because he was affable and always gave them time. It's why they handled him with kid gloves over steroids and why they won't dig on this story.

So the WAPO should send an armed, Spanish speaking reporter down there and have him roam the streets until he finds someone who knows the "true story" ? Maybe they should wait until the police finish their investigation, instead.

Eh, theyre all the same to me.

There had been a thread on Letsrun for months calling Muslims all sorts of names.

I copied and pasted the original comment in the thread, and replaced Muslims with Jews this morning, and then put that comment into the thread. I then commented to those asking why the thread was still up that it would be down soon now.

Checked back early this afternoon -- Gone.

Yes. Lying to us about the motive is very dignified

The OP is lying?

Now one of the suspects says the Red Sock slugger was not the intended target, he was just the wrong guy shot.

Who's buying that?

To which you comment: The OP is lying?

Anyone ever tell you to keep your expectations low?

Nobody has lied about the motive. The police have not completed their investigation so there is no verified motive to report.

Lying by omission. They will come up with a fake motive this week (hit the wrong guy is what they are trial ballooning) and will then lie by commission.

You really have to drop this fake narrative that the mainstream media is responsible and careful and care about putting out the truth.

There's another rumour making the rounds that Manny Ramirez was the guy banging the bad guy's girlfriend and Ortiz was shot in a case of mistaken identity.

“A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth.”

It is true that Ortiz was a great baseball player and a good guy. From what I've heard, he is very friendly and respectful when he meets fans off the field and frequently goes to hospitals to visit sick children. He was also played a role in the Boston Strong deal.

This story, if true, does not change any of that. It all boils down to adultery and so what? Great men like JFK. MLK Jr. and Trump have all done the same thing.
