If Darrell Brooks have been a white man who drove a automotive right into a crowd of black folks, the media would nonetheless be speaking about Waukesha.
The identify Darrell Brooks hasn’t been uttered a single time on CNN since final Thursday, November 25. At present marked the primary time anybody on MSNBC talked about Brooks by identify since final Wednesday, November 24. The scant protection got here within the type of a hasty (34 seconds) information temporary that ran as soon as every on the community’s two morning packages, Means Too Early with Jonathan Lemire and Morning Joe.
How about the truth that Brooks is a felon who has reportedly expressed hatred for white and Jewish folks? Or the truth that witnesses report he seemed to be swerving his vehicle in order that he would hit as many pedestrians as doable? Nope, these info apparently aren’t vital sufficient to make it onto CNN or MSNBC. No one on both community has breathed a phrase about any of that.
Why?
You understand why – everyone is aware of why. It’s as a result of the media are peddling a nasty portrait of America through which numerous violent white supremacists and racist law enforcement officials run rampant, finishing up calculated assaults on folks of shade with alarming frequency.
This simplistic narrative has no room for any particular person of shade who hates white folks. These folks, even when they did exist, someway could not be racist.
If that’s not how our esteemed fourth property are desirous about this story, then why are they out of the blue so disinterested in it? Why are they intentionally skimping on the main points? What’s with the obfuscatory headlines verging on parody, like this one from CNN claiming that the assault was perpetrated by “a automotive?”
That’s not a rhetorical query this time – let’s see any person from CNN or MSNBC attempt to clarify why their community is dishonestly framing Waukesha as some type of freak automotive accident, when they are often bothered to speak about it in any respect.
Let’s hear an evidence from CNN’s sniveling media reporter, Brian Stelter. Let’s hear from MSNBC’s hatred-peddling Democratic loyalist, Pleasure Reid. Till they provide a convincing various, it’s laborious to not conclude that they and their colleagues are deliberately forcing this story down the reminiscence gap as a result of (1) Brooks is black, and (2) his victims are predominantly white.
In the event that they wish to show me incorrect, they’ll cowl the story then. Your complete story.
