...And there haven't been any more protests or riots as a result.

And that kids is called the power of media. I'm guessing because I said that I will be suspended for 3 days now, just because I proved someone wrong or said something someone didn't want to hear.

Seriously though, it kinda disturbs me that people in this country are so easily manipulated.

Are you seriously implying that BLM caused riots? lmao

No, I'm saying that the news used a story to get people fired up and it worked.... interesting to me that no one blames them.

Can't respond to that One_Day because even though you brought it up, I'd be in the wrong for talking about a modded post.

No, people got fired up because the police kept killing people and getting off scot-free for it.

Yeah but how did they know about it?

You realize that in a lot of cases, videos of police brutality, or just vigilantism in general in the case of Ahmaud Arbery, became viral through social media right?

Social media is bad too because that's how it spreads so fast, but the origin was the news. For example, there was a black lady in my city the other day that was punched by police, but nobody is rioting or protesting because the national headlines aren't telling them to.

Yep, it sucks, but it's nothing new. Did people get fired up over Andrew Finch, or Sean Monterrosa? Do you know who they were? Nope, because the news didn't use them to manipulate people.

Talking about it is one thing, but showing the same 20 second clip over and over again isn't just innocent news at that point. They had an agenda.

Btw, Attn Mods:

Why's it okay for people like One_Day_Remains to bring up posts I had that were modded and nothing happens. But if I take his bait and respond, I get a 3 day suspension? Was it just the way he worded his post? Just wondering if you can shed some light on that for me.

Yeah, now that Orange man is gone the news and big tech really dont care about the dead black people, or anyone really. It only mattered during the election year. Now that creepy uncle joe is in office, its all sunshine and rainbows. Well, unless you live in Somali, where ol sleepy joe started bombing a couple weeks ago. Almost zero coverage of that though. Wonder why.

Those poor Al-Qaeda associated terrorists, they should have been left to continue bombing Somali schools, stores, hotels, bars, and continue murdering citizens in efforts to gain control and conquer that land, how dare us step in and help a country that we have been financially assisting and supporting for 15+ years. Bad Biden! So many civilian lives are safer now, you monster.

But again, people were pissed because Trump had Syria bombed. But when Biden did it it was okay? Again, the media.

I know there's someone else called Kitt but she was mainly active on some chat website where people here would go to and was called something else here. I'd never stoop so low to become a lolmod.

Also, that's Michelle Branch making a derp face. She's everywhere.

That's an interesting question, it's different people for each news station. For example, yahoo news is owned by verizon communications, and their CEO (I don't know about the actual owner) is a Swedish business man named Hans Vestberg, so if I had to guess I would say he has some say so when it comes to them.
