Just how bad is the bias in the media in favor of its own oppression narratives? This chart quantifies some of it: Unarmed white victims of police violence get only a tiny fraction of the news coverage that black ones do — maybe about two to three percent as much.
Given the fact that there are tens of millions of police encounters every year, and that most of the shootings of unarmed persons are found to be justified given the situation, the overall performance of police seems like a miracle of restraint and competence.
Nevertheless, many people who self-identify as “very liberal” seem to be under the impression that thousands of unarmed black people are fatally shot by police every year. Now where do you think they might have gotten that crazy idea from?
For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites & Asians.
Same thing happened with elite colleges & high schools in America.
Maybe they can try not being racist.

Perception: A large number of unarmed black men are being shot by police officers in the United States.
Reality: 11 unarmed black men were fatally shot by police in 2021.
Was the true number a surprise for you? If so, you were likely the victim of Legacy Media disinformation. pic.twitter.com/oqhISvfNZX

The biggest lie the legacy media makes is narrative: choosing what to write about and what not to write about https://t.co/cdnoznSoly

Keeping racial animus stirred up is important to the left (so they can come in and “solve” the problem) and the media is, of course, an important part of the left.
I see Michael Brown was left off. Maybe because that was off the charts?
Day after day the M.S. Media shows us their Liberal Left Bias toward Conservatives and others and those who protect the People and their Bias toward Conservatives shows their gutter level journalism is leftists Propaganda
