Thank you! I agree that the media is more apt to accept the military on our streets while never talking about how police in LA treat nonwhite people and are essentially occupiers in nonwhite communities. Frankly, it's sickening.
Your thought provoking posts are always so inspiring. I’ve been working on a piece on dog whistle media treatment of the Latino community as “the other” as it relates to the LA protests and the media created “riots.” It is mind boggling to me mainstream media’s acceptance of the alarming number of federal agents, National Guard and Marines in Southern California as no big deal. Federal agents and LAPD racist and cowboy tactics get no attention. Is it because the victims are immigrants or brown skinned US citizens? Nobody cares or speaks out with conviction about injustice in our failing democracy like you hermano. You educate and call bullshit and exemplify freedom of speech.👊🏽👊🏽
Wow. You have gathered and stated the facts clearly and forcefully. Your clarity helps me see more broadly and wisely. Of course, I am having to ask now what? BTW, if your reporting did not threaten reporters from legacy media, they wouldn't bother to attack you. Kudos.
You make a valid point about legacy media. I'm noticing that the more I call them out for stealing our work, the more that go on the attack. With that said, I know some great journalists who work in legacy media, but I feel like they'd put out much better work if they didn't have oligarchal overlords.
