Dear Armchair Critic,

Breitbart News Network is known to paradoxically publish
falsehoods and conspiracy theories, as well as intentionally
misleading stories. The New York Times describes the
organisation as having "ideologically driven journalists"
who "generate controversy over material that has been
called misogynist, xenophobic and racist."

Here is a recent case where a bloke only on one charge of sexual intercourse with a person under care is denied bail. He is named in the paper and even a clear picture of him is included. Note there is no rape charge.

If one looks at the example I gave in my OP the difference in treatment can be seen.

In the case involving the temporary immigrant student, he has many serious charges but was granted bail. His picture is pixelated and name suppressed even though he is 21 yo.

It is reasonable to ask why the difference in treatment

Hey Foxy,
Breitbart, Drudge Report, Infowars, Fox News, etc are all being targeted as fake news.
Yesterday Google moved to cut access to Infowars ad revenue.

Really good short interview at 19:00.

Armchair Critic,

I'm encouraged to hear that Google is cutting ad revenue to fake news sites. Facebook is apparently doing the same.

I'd like to learn more, but unfortunately you've only linked us to more fake news for further information. I guess I'll have to Google it.

I'm seeing a lot of this on OLO lately. The last one was about the rape crisis Sweden isn't having. I suppose when academia is unable to produce the facts that you lot want, you have to invent your own.

"Managed by Alex Jones. [Infowars] previously claimed that millions of people have voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election, that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, and that the Democratic Party was hosting a child sex slave ring out of a pizza restaurant."

It may be because the teacher groomed a teenage school kid. "According to online profiles, Mr Majoor taught holiday sports programs for primary school students, ."
The Kenyan case was a woman who was able to travel overseas.

nnn,
Can see reason why the teacher was denied bail, its a serious charge. Pity to see two young lives ruined for a quickie, but not the first time it has happened, and won't be the last.

But can see no reason for the African bloke to get bail as he has a heap of serious charges, including life threats to the victim. He is the greater risk of not turning up at court. 20 rape charges is not very common!
