TRUTH & JUSTICE BRIEFING: Fox & other outlets are exploiting survivors of crime & their families. "The grief & suffering of these families is incredibly real. Using them to push false narratives is exploitative." 2 recent cases highlight this pattern. More:justicenotfear.org/debunk/fox-new…
"In 2 recent stories, Fox News exploited mothers whose lives have been directly affected by violence. Fox repeated the women’s positions— based on the same misunderstandings of the law that have been aggressively and intentionally circulated by anti-reform groups—as fact."
"In the first case recently used by Fox News, a mother was in the car with her 11-month-old daughter in the Bronx when a stray bullet struck the baby in the face. There is no evidence tying bail reform to this senseless gun violence." 
"In the second story, a mother whose son was murdered in 2018 details the pain of her loss. States her mistaken belief that bail reform is to blame. But bail was set & paid. And all in 2019 before bail reform even went into effect. Fox News repeats & amplifies."
The above critical context comes from a new project launched this week to fight misinformation & propaganda about bail reform w/ facts. Legal & policy experts responding w/ accurate information about bail policy to the public, reporters, & decision makers. justicenotfear.org/new-york
