Watching football and #CBS is relentlessly promoting their evening lineup: Marshalls, Boston Blue, Sherrif Country, NCIS, CSI, FBI, CIA…basically a complete lineup of #copoganda. Heroic law enforcement getting the bad guys.

The problem is what we are seeing in this country right now is the complete opposite. Armed political militias cosplaying as law enforcement, murdering innocent bystanders, rounding up people without due process, serving as judge, jury, and executioner. All without oversight or accountability.

If you care about #media, #policing, #propaganda, or anything related, this is a must-listen episode.

@taylorlorenz interviews Alec Karakatsanis about his new book "Copaganda: How Police and the Media Manipulate Our News" and it's a great conversation.

It provides no answers for the obvious cover-up and fails to hold anyone accountable. However, the report didn’t shy away from naming names.
Although damning, the DOJ stopped short of filing any charges or recommending the firings of any local, state, or federal law enforcement officers or authority figures involved in the failure to save lives for the sake of promoting themselves as heroes. Despite the obvious negligence, and ultimately, culpability, the report doesn’t mention the word “negligent” or “negligence” once.
