OF COURSE the @nypost Hunter Biden story is potentially flawed and a bit partisan. But, is that the new standard for censorship, as re Trump's tax returns, the Steele Dossier, "Russiagate," etc? The issue is the deployment of fake morality to cover up glaring double standards.
(2) This is the basis for frequent critiques of the media from ~every right-leaning pundit or soci-sci. NO, I don't think the right is much more moral than the left. But, I'm amazed by the total memory-holing of stories like "Spygate" or the Reade/Broderick/etc. rape allegations.
(3) This isn't s/t we're making up. Absurd stories circulate freely and globally, if they make the right (or actual CLASS-focused left) look bad. Remember the pe tape? The pre-Mueller report allegations Big Orange was a literal Russki asset? Him screaming "nig*ger," per Omarosa?
(4) This goes beyond politics. 75% of police shooting victims are not Black (washingtonpost.com/graphics/inves…). They receive ~10% of coverage. Inter-racial crime is 80% B-on-W (bjs.gov/content/pub/pd…) it is presented as the exact opposite. And so forth. Don't go off-grid, but be awake.
(5) I'll add my usual caveat here: serious inter-racial crime is ALSO 5% of crime - 600K violent B/W incidents as versus 12-20M serious crimes annually in our huge country (see above). Don't be terrified of ANYTHING, country(hu)man - but especially not what you're supposed to be.
