I know that most of us have moved on from the Rittenhouse media spectacle and the Arbery verdict to more pressing cases but I wanted to point out something. While the media worked hard to shape a white supremacist narrative in the Rittenhouse case, one could have been easily made in the Arbery. So why didn’t the media do that instead? Why was the media so bent on making the case in the Rittenhouse situation tied to white supremacy? Because too many would have egg on their faces. It was a cover-up for a problematic media.
White supremacy is the newest big bad. Without it, the press has nothing to create a Thanos like villain out of. In fact, they are doing so poorly spinning on the economy that people on the left cannot ignore it; even if it’s a misinformation campaign. Simply put, they had to use white supremacy through this case to protect the debacle that BLM caused.
Here’s what I mean. Rittenhouse went to Kenosha because it had been on fire for a few days. Why? Because the Police weren’t stopping the rioting. BLM had gotten locals angry about a police shooting they had no reason to be upset about. Jacob Blake was on his way to hurt his ex-gf and in doing so, caught a bullet from police after he ate the taser charges and then went for a knife.
Although the media lied, Biden and Kamala did their rounds to console Blake. However, he was in the wrong and the police wasn’t. But you know what?! This whole thing stinks! No matter if you ask why a 17-year-old was there, why the prosecution was so lazy or even why those predominately white BLM supporters chose to burn down a black neighborhood; a more plausible case for racism was sitting right in from of us.
What do I mean? We have a system over in the state of Georgia in which a local prosecutor tried to push the Arbery murder under the rug. The defendants weren’t even charged for 74 days until people raised a stink about it and a video of the incident surfaced-power to the people- and she then was later charged with corruption. Apparently, we have a system of good ole boys going on because of the connection between the defendant and the prosecutor. Like, this situation was ripe for the left to go haywire and that was long before we got to comments about Black pastors and Jesse Jackson at the trial.
Why then was the Arbery case essentially ignored while the seed of division was being sewn across America over a 17-year-old? It was the good ole media. If the media had done its job, Black Lives Matter would have erroneously incited violence for a criminal who deserved what happened to him, a group that donates heavily to the left. If the media had done its job, it would have put a spotlight on the Kenosha Police who let the city turn crazy that night instead of doing their job, the police union also being another friend of the DNC. And especially, if we would have seen the true facts of the case as they had happened, we might not have a President Biden or VP Harris who both interjected their own opinions and were wrong. The most egregious sin of all is that people would have to admit that Donald Trump was right about something, oh no!
The crazy thing about the Arbery case that except but a few conservative personalities, the vast majority of Americans thought the McMichaels to be guilty. There is no real way to paint our system as forgiving to white defendants with this case. We even have one person who ran down the defendant with his truck, a stereotypical narrative for white supremacist and yet almost no peep. That is because despite the initial corruption and work by the public, the outcome was mostly one that many saw coming. The white defendants were going to go to jail. How could that happen in white U.S.A? Because our system is a lot more complex than that.
See even Donald Trump was able to lean sympathy on both Rittenhouse and Arbery, just like most of the American people. And, with proof from twitter user Drew Holden, what people majorly got wrong was the media’s fault. They are the ones that helped get people upset. They are the ones that paint pictures erroneously of subsets of Americans to gaslight us into fighting. The media did us this all wrong.
The media was so bad that this thread by Drew Holden needs further reading. I mean it was blatantly bad. The media is a HUGE problem and people on every side needs to check this out:

It’s time to revisit the coverage of Kyle Rittenhouse.
With the news that he has been acquitted on all counts, don’t forget the ways that Dems and the corporate press came together to craft a false narrative in his case.
Let’s break down how we got here⤵️

Those people who called Rittenhouse correctly out the gate where mostly those who chose to ignore the media and look at the case. Those who got Arbery right did the same thing. And the make-up of both juries was irrelevant as they should always be in the court of law. For some reason, a jury of 12 were able to get it right.
Is our justice system perfect? Heck no. I am hoping that the way Bringer, the WI prosecutor in Rittenhouse Case and the prosecutor in the Arbery case acted shines light on how our DAs are a huge issue. But more than the imperfect criminal justice system, we have a media that has fanned the flames of hate across this country and they pay no price for being so utterly wrong and dangerous. For decades, minorities have been screaming that our media has been adamantly painting certain groups as either grossly bad or overtly noble, which is the utmost lie.
Our media is our biggest foe. And unless the American people turn off the tv, stop reading all the articles and do the work themselves; we are headed to a Civil War. And let this be known that it is not all on one side. There are players on both sides of this duopoly that make bank lying to the America people, stroking fear and counting their dollars on a hill of lies. Many of us catch heat for our unwaning call of wrong no matter which side does it, and a need to set the record straight. Because at the moment, the mainstream media never will do the right thing.
It is independent media, bloggers and podcasters that will be the reckoning we need in the next fight. But will the American people stayed glued to their comfortable familiar media? Or will we refuse to be lied too again? We have an election cycle in full swing and I won’t be holding my breath for real change any time soon.
