Reading your piece, I was reminded of this quote.

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing."

Malcolm X

While I am overall, not a big fan of Malcolm X, he was right on the money with this quote. We all know that the media has the power to control the minds of the masses. We saw that with Covid. It is very unfortunate that these acts have occurred and they must be condemned in all cases. However, it is particularly disgusting when one side uses it for a political advantage. It is both irresponsible and dangerous. Sadly, it seems like most politicians and members of the media don't care, as long as their side retains power; consequences be damned. Power is the goal and they use everything they do in a justifiable manner as a means to this end. Of course, it's all for "the greater good." Ethics and morality seem to have left the building long ago. We're living in a time period devoid of civility.

Parallel to the endless and explicit Jew-hate from the campus groups in the US immediately being buried when a two-second clip appeared of a white frat guy making an inappropriate joke toward a black female protestor. 10000 examples of (much worse) misbehavior from our team will be ignored in favor of endless repetition of one minor offense from your team. Media is nothing but regime propaganda now.
