Ooh, ooh, I know this one!
The poorly-framed and dehumanized photo that directly appeals to Foxâs racist consumer baseâs biases!
Bingo!
I thought it was the one with the red shirt. Because police are enraged by the color, which is why matadors are often their #1 victims.
I just canât with this shit.
It doesnât matter which photo FoxNews uses. They all look the same to its audience.
Sad, but likely.
At a Dutch news site nu.nl this was mentioned.
I could not handle the last alinea.
"Het is niet voor de eerste keer dat er wordt geprotesteerd. Het doodschieten van Afro-Amerikaanse verdachten heeft in de Verenigde Staten in de afgelopen maanden herhaaldelijk geleid tot grote betogingen en onlusten."
Roughly translated it says something like this:
âItâs not the first time demonstrations occur. The shooting of Afro-American suspects has have led, for the past months, to big demonstrations and riots.â
I spent some time to send an e-mail to the âcomplaintâ address of that site. If the journalist in question was aware of the fact that âmissingâ some information or not giving it to the readers, conscious or unconscious, both bad, makes a total different alinea. And a journalist should be aware of biases.
So, that adding something in the line of âexcessive amount ofâ or something alike would make a whole different sentence. And feel.
Got a reaction back from there redaction, they would look into it⌠yeahâŚ
Severely beating a suspect --> baton rouge.
They probably think he looks a lot like Obama.
Nice passive language, too: âPolice-involved shootingâ
Donât know. I refuse to subject myself to Fox News.
But if form holds: Either someone elseâs entirely (âThe Gameâ as Trayvon Martin, for example), or the most unflattering, dark picture they can find or photoshop. Let the victim-blaming commence!!
There was an article within the past couple of years about all the steps involved in transforming âpolice shot a personâ to âthere was a police-involved shooting.â I think it was posted here on BB but I canât find it now.
So what can we do to change that?
I honestly donât know.
If I had any viable solutions, Iâd be working on them already.
Itâs such an important question. I donât have answers either, but I feel like that would be what would really, deeply make something (anything) of this tragedy
Well, hopefully Gretchen Carlson will bankrupt Roger Ailes and FauxNews will go down as collateral damage.
Hey, I can dream.
