       Tyre Nichols Was One of Too Many. “…major news outlets have a bad habit of treating cases like Nichols’ as isolated incidents, lavishing short-term, specific attention that makes the chronic seem exceptional. … Every time an incident like Tyre Nichols’ killing happens, …[media] should remind people…that police brutality is a national, systemic issue, and Black people are disproportionately targeted & killed.” | FAIR https://fair.org/home/tyre-nichols-was-one-of-too-many/ #PoliceViolence #SystemicRacism 1/3

       "major news outlets have a bad habit of treating cases like Nichols’ as isolated incidents,"@cmorris Same for mass shootings. #News #Media Inc thinks they just happen to happen, with 0 reporting on how USA became awash in guns and is now unsafe.To do so, would involve faulting Republicans who refused to regulate the sale of firearms, and still refuse any corrective action. Press looks the other way = helps GOP.
