Is The Media Going EASY on Ben Roethlisberger???
Posted by Media Outrage on March 10th, 2010
It seems that if you’re a black athlete the media goes IN on a whole different level as far as their coverage is concerned. When Kobe Bryant was under fire after being accused of Rape, he was the only topic on every station, and you already know what happened with Mike Vick. Do you think the media is protecting Ben Roethlisberger’s image by not providing non-stop COVERAGE on TV???
We all know the first girl who said he raped her, got no play in the media. Do you believe Roethlisberger strong armed the p*ssy? MO readers, weigh in…

You already know that are discrepancies in how situations are “handled” for different people.

Hmmmmm Mike Vick gets accused of dog fighting and before an investagation could even get started they not only sidelined him but they started snatching his endorsements. But this PECKAWOOD get accused of rape twice and nothing happen to his money.

This is the second girl within the year that is accusing Roethlisberger of sexual misconduct and the media is handling him with kid gloves, I guess being a white sexual predator is not news worthy enough for the white media.

Kobe got alot of coverage when he was accused and you dont see this incident all in the front pages of the Daily News. There is a double standard. Sad but true.

Hell yeah! Look @ Kobe and Tiger. They had CONSENT to smash but they got punished as if they strong armed the pussy (as MO would say it. LOL!). Mike Vick didn’t do anything but fight dogs. You would have thought he went into Charles Manson mode on folks. This WHITE dude rapes this chick and the media acts like nothing ever happened. SMFH!

Yeah the media is shady like that. But I don’t think Ben did it.
Just like that chick lied on Kobe and made up shit, this first one is doing the same thing to Ben. Now I don’t know if enough detail about the second one, but I still don’t believe he did it.

The point is the media has been all hush-hush with the allegations against him. On the other, the media crucified him for the same allegations. Kobe was only accused once and this is Ben’s 2nd time being accused of the same thing. The question is why is the allegations against Ben being kept quiet whereas Kobe’s was blasted all over every possible outlet known to man?

The point definitely isn’t about whether they did it or not, the fact is the media is really shady. Kobe, Mike Tyson, Tupac….all blasted in the media before trial for accusations on rape.

Most definitely. That’s why I put that they were indeed shady. The rest was just me answering MO’s question about if we think he did it or not.

Hell yeah! If he were another color, he’d be already out of the NFL. So sad people care more about animals than humans.

Of course, he’s receiving preferential treatment because he is white. The media wants you to believe that all white entertainers, and athletes are the greatest…athletic wise and morally. So as soon a black athlete is accused of the same crime they become the scapegoat to take the heat of the dirty white athletes. The same with Tiger Woods, if he were great white golfer do you really think it would have been a great media circus?

Moi je pense que l’ecart de recouvrement des medias sur Big Ben par rapport a Kobe et Vick est degueullase.
