    I think they sign on because they want to help people.

    What doesn't matter anyway? You make it sound like because american media is overall biased nothing matters anymore anyway. Although they do play a large role in fearmongering and polarizing the issue and different sides there's a little more to this issue than just the media. It is also reasonable to consider that many of this onesided 'news' reporting is done for money purposes (sensational news sells better) and not all simply pushed by 'the gubberment'.

    I believe it was a bit of sarcasm. There are people that influence the media, it's their job. It's all okay now, the media will sooth and comfort you, now Jim with the weather.

    So how is this dubious focus on sensation and polarisation of the media regarding news keeping the government in control?

    If black lives actually mattered to Black Lives Matter, wouldn't the organization be shining light on this issue? The issue that leads more blacks to be living in substandard conditions. The issue that more blacks are dying at the hands of other blacks. Because it seems to me they don't give a shit about any of that. In fact, they encourage rioting and distruction within the black community whenever a black person gets killed by a cop. Instead of rallying to destroy the communities and livelihoods of their fellow black man, why not rally to improve the situation?

    How do you improve upon that situation? It's like saying the Jews in concentration camps had a chance.

    There are psychological warfare personnel at all major news stations.

    It's a warfare, the media.


    In October 2012, News Corporation welcomed Uribe to the Board of Directors upon the retirement of Andrew Knight, John Thornton, and Arthur Siskind.[91]

    Just wonder who's influenced Alvaro all these years? I'd bet the CIA put him into office and has a lasting relationship with him. News Corp runs FOX news among others.

    Just saying it would take a lot of research to private info to know just what all and who all is pulling strings and in which direction.

    Many are shown examples of what not to do but few examples of what to actually do.

    was speaking more to the unsympathetic notion toward blacks deserving this due to black on black crime or the General idea that if your a criminal you accept the consequences even if those consequences mean being shot in the street for minor offenses

    I have known people that perhaps deserve violence against them. But generally that's not an ideal policy.

    I'm a criminal and I don't engage in crime just because I don't want to be the subject of violence in any direction. I do understand that many people of any race are upset about being criminals due to drug policies of the United States. That alone as created a great deal of culture that responds in violence with both sides.

    A white person is as likely to be arrested for having a felony drug agent. I don't care what the statistics say but it helps not booming the stereo and rolling 'dirty'. Being loud in any manner of dress is going to cause attention. Using drugs should for all purposes be a covert operation and it can be difficult to maintain that attitude, for so long!

We can just assume we all live duplicate lives with duplicate circumstances. Either way these poor cops get George Bush as a speaker .

    Evil is a theory and a perspective.

    Media is a fact Jack!

    When Ferguson happened I watched a LOT of youtube videos of the protests. I saw a video of cops setting fire to a car. Video of some people looting, yes. But mostly just people marching and peacefully protesting. I think it is a myth that "they" destroy their own communities. A minority of people sometimes do destroy communities that may or may not even be their own, either out of anger or just because they're opportunistic assholes. Who knows. There have been BLM protests all across the cou try for the last few days and no one has rioted or destroyed their own community.

    There is a low income, historically black, high crime neighborhood in my city (as i'm sure there is in every city ) and every once in a while something will happen and the media will swarm the neighborhood and interview some elderly people about the loss of their peaceful neighborhood amd what they're doing to change it. The last time this happened an 18 year old black kid killed a cop. The big story this go round was the bicycle club this kid was apart of until he was 15 or so. The neighborhood backs up to a rails to trails bike trail and this club was esigned to keep kids out of trouble Obviously it didnt work in this case, but my point is cities all across america have programs like this. So it is also a myth that no one is doing anything to improve their communities or help their disenfranchised youth.

    And the black leaders in this community, as in others all across America, do try to shine a spotlight on its troubles - hence why the local media actualy does a somewhat fair story on it every few months - but no one really cares. Do you?

    You're taking the worst of the black community, a minority of the whole, and using them to paint a.picture of the entire black world. Like if I assumed you live in a shitty trailer park with a bunch of white trash and spend your days smoking meth and throwing litter everywhere. Because, you know, thats what white people do and I dont get why you arent doing anything to change it or shine a light on it.
