they’re straight up arresting journalists and reporters now in minneapolis for doing their jobs.
This is an attempt at an information blackout to control the narrative about what’s going on right now in Minneapolis. Any news coming out of police or national guard sources should probably not be trusted if this is how they’re treating folks covering the current events.
If I ubderstand correctly, a crew of black CNN journalists was arrested. White crews and reporters have a different experience.
Specifically arresting a black journalist and camera crew under the grounds of: “they’re black so we arrested them,” Is still an attempt to control a narrative … and still a form of information blackout or whitewashing, if you will.
If they’re arresting people providing a specific perspective and not arresting people who cannot provide the same perspective that’s not better.
How can we trust news sources if cops are targeting certain types of reporters [black] ?
Racially targeting reporters is still a form of information control. Minneapolis police are targeting black voices to silence.
