And still no justice for Mike Brown : Does the media tell the whole story?
Everyday I turn on the news expecting to see something on the Mike Brown case. Sadly I see the same regurgitated crap over and over again.
Everyday I turn on the news expecting to see something on the Mike Brown case. Sadly I see the same regurgitated crap over and over again.
Then I log on to Facebook and I see a whole different story. I see a reality that your local news is not giving.
The news gives us one story if any story at all but social media is what is keeping me abreast with all that is going on. Via Facebook I see stories of individuals being arrested for essentially no reason. I see videos of abuse and disrespect. I see videos of supposed leaders doing nothing. But they dare not show these truths on the news.
Perhaps this is the reason why the American government wants to find a way to govern the internet. Maybe they don’t like how freely information can be exchanged without them being able to filter it.
Perhaps we are victims of propaganda more than we are willing to believe. Whatever the reason is, I know that my local news is not where I find truths.
We as a people need to begin digging deeper for what we not just want to know but need to know. There’s a whole world of f–kery that we are being sheltered from. We are being inflicted with ignorance without being able to make a choice.
For those who are relying on the news here are some videos that I’m sure did not grace your TV screen. We have to continue to fight for justice. As long as we don’t we will continue to be violated. And that we is totally beyond race. As a whole… There has to be a change.
