And just to expound on this. There's now the story of the black man that was literally suffocated by a Minneapolis police officer that the MSM is in full-on sensational mode, which is actually causing riots in the city as we speak. Now I think most would agree, this was wrong, and tragic and hopefully justice will be served. But there was another tragedy of a black man in a nursing home brutally beating a white elderly man that got very little to no attention, certainly not anywhere near as much as the former story. Persoanlly, I don't believe either story should have been sensationalized, particularly for political reasons, and the reason I believe this is WILLFUL deceit on the part of the MSM is not only the lopsided attention the two stories are being given, but the fact we don't know if the police officer's motives were racially motivated (this is assumed), whereas the man beating up the elderly man was IN FACT racially motivated. I don't understand why the MSM is intentionally doing this -- creating these racial and political divides (even using false narratives to do it) -- but it's disgusting to me and dangerous.

But the main point is the MSM going out of their way to create lopsided societal divides, whether it's racial or political, even if it means creating false narratives -- like they did in the OP video -- to do it. It's bizarre to me that they're doing this, and it's clearly having negative repercussions.

Originally posted by seanD View PostAhmaud Arbery wasn't killed by a police officer, and again, the racial motivation behind that is assumed, whereas the black guy brutally beating up the white elderly man WAS racially motivated. The fact that these instances can be construed as racially motivated (as white racism) is the reason they're being sensationalized. It's very clear pattern.

Let me ask you this -- do you understand the difference between something being true in technicality and something being true in spirit? And do you understand why we might prefer to present something as true in spirit at the cost of technicality sometimes even when our goal is to be as truthful as possible?

I watched the first minute of that video and couldn't figure out what point you were trying to make.

Originally posted by seanD View PostIt is, but there's a greater point to it. They fake these narratives to create societal division (though I don't know if that's their motive, that's always the end result). As in the case of the masks, they're perpetuating the narrative that there is a stark political divide between the left -- who wear masks because they adhere to the SCIENCE -- and the right -- who adhere to Trump/anti-science. This creates political tension and results in hysteria and violence that we're seeing manifested in pockets of society (you just pointed out one instance of it). They do the same exact thing with race as well.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I haven't found a single police officer who hasn't expressed absolute 100% disgust and disdain. "It makes our job so much harder...."The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
