my latest — they’re part of the problem; pressrun.media/p/how-the-medi…

“The whole controversy is fabricated, and it’s getting a ton of media attention. It’s the kind of media attention that plays right into the hands of conservatives.”

the press constantly ignores 2 stunning facts:

1. critical race theory isn’t taught anywhere in US schools

2. GOP has no idea what critical race theory is

WashPost ran 3K-word (!) critical race theory over the weekend, omitted both those key facts

but WP did manage to quote 8 Republicans in the story

critical race theory is the new "9/11 Mosque"

and the press is helping fan the flames
