Psychic Geller Recieves Visit From The Antisemitic Krylon Fairy
“Celebrity psychic Uri Geller says vandals have spray-painted the word ‘Jew’ in red letters on a fence at his home near Reading. The 57-year-old Israeli-born spoon bender told Reuters on Wednesday he was shocked and afraid for his family after spotting the graffiti while walking his dog.”
Gotta love Reuter’s unbiased reporting. The lead essentially intimates that he did it himself. Fuckers.
Celebrity psychic Uri Geller says vandals have spray-painted the word “Jew” in red letters on a fence at his home near Reading.
How does that intimate that he did it himself. Is it the fact that it says “[he] said”. Is it the fact that it talks about the low rate of antisemitic incidents in Britan, which Geller mentions himself. Or is it because the press usually doesn’t take a “Celebrity psychic” that seriously. But maybe I just don’t understand. Please, enlighten me.
it is exactly because “Geller says”; if the lead was:
Celebrity psychic Uri Geller’s home was attacked by vandals who spray-painted the word ‘Jew’ etc.
…howevever, by leading off with “Geller says”, it suggests that the vandalism is not a fact, but rather a questionable event.
