I was curious so I did a bit of research into the allegations that the CIA pumped drugs into LA, found out it's basically bullshit. First off, that's not even what the original article series claimed, second three outlets responded questioning the validity of the claims it did make: The New York Times; The Los Angeles Times; The Washington Post. Here is an article written by the Executive Editor of the outlet that originally released the series, taking responsibility for poor practices which allowed the article to contain misleading characterizations https://web.archive.org/web/19971119070955/http://www.sjmercury.com/drugs/column051197.htm

The argument that the CIA funneled cocaine into Los Angeles via the Contras in the 1980s, so as to cripple the black community, is commonly used to characterize he United States government as being explicitly hostile and oppressive towards black americans.

maybe we need a news channel

So it was a white dude

dishonorably discharged from the USAF, court marshalled too

I'm guessing he wasn't the most stable of people then

Nah it's usually average Joes that go on killing sprees

As long as they're white males

You can't deny the stats bro

The majority of crazy men come from the majority racial population? Really makes you thunk

🤔

The funny thing is they give you enough statistics to show that whites commit less than their share of population

But they cut the population # in half bc "white men"

The most retarded/dishonest manipulation of statistics I've seen

The fact that his skin color is in the headline, is shitty enough

Plus, get ready for the "white men is the devil" articles

We already got a fire hose on that

I want to collect some of that shit for a meta-news type project that shows the narratives of media over time

It would be a good idea

Historians can look back and say "oh that's why there was a civil war"

Also, would be better if you did that with politicians, since usa have a 2 party system would be interesting to see their narrative throughout the years

Public statements could be cataloged but they are more difficult to deconstruct many times

It ok to demonize white men in the news.

With inverted pyramid stories, the theses are very explicitly laid out

It's more than okay

Weren't the Dems the more pro-segregation party decades back or was that just a meme people made up?

It's your journalistic duty

That's why I'm saying it

People paint the party thing both ways

I can't think of this shit culminating in any way other than banning white males

From what?

Progressivism

I think that would be far enough to make the racism apparent

I guess it could be done by degrees
