Qasim Rashid, Esq.

How media enables white supremacy.

First pic: How NY Times depicted an unarmed Black teen killed by law enforcement—“problematic & no Angel.”

Second Pic: How NY Times depicts a white woman who unapologetically stole $700M & harmed countless people—“a loving mother & a new beginning.”

@LairdJames Was gonna say that. She's a serious sociopath, to the point that you can even see it on her face, which is saying something, because most sociopaths are subtle enough to hide it.

@predicterOfShroomsLight @QasimRashid while i don't think race is not a factor (because come on), i think this, much like so many other bullshit injustice happenings in the world, reeks more of the familiar stink of wealth and its influence on mass media.

Show threadClaudia MilesMay 8, 2023
@QasimRashid It's especially disturbing as the NY Times masquerades as liberal-ish while simultaneously permeating our culture with this white supremacist imagery. An unarmed Black teen was *murdered* by law enforcement. Labeling him "problematic," and "no angel" is as good as saying he deserved it. And the angelic depiction of Elizabeth Holmes whose greed and crimes devastated people's lives, as a new mom starting over, is vile. (Plus, call CPS.)

Sometimes you can see their history, political leaning, racial bias, and more importantly whether they are just freelancers who are paid to create clickbaits.

Also, why the fuck are people still reading NYT. How many white supremacists do they need to put on their op-ed before you can stop reading them?

@QasimRashid you are referring to a media source that has openly sold out to the highest bidder. When your newspaper is a profit driven entity that gets its profits from ads that manipulate people, the entire enterprise inevitably turns into a machine engineered to manipulate people.

The media can be manipulated into washing a reputation so easily on behalf of established interests.

Nixon. Bill Barr. Pompeo. Mohammed bin Salman. Kissinger.

Corrupt. Murderous. Fraudulent.

It doesn't matter to the public relations firm tasked with these lies.

Really curious which PR firm was funded for Elizabeth Holmes "reputation rehab"?

@QasimRashid But yes, isn't the NY Times slightly on the right of the spectrum?

Personally, let's be honest, the white b%t$h is irresponsible to the max. Getting pregnant, twice, while having this tiny legal issue unresolved. Purely to play devil's advocate here, if they decided to throw the book on her, 20 years or more of free accommodation could have been hers.
