Damn that's fuckin wild
How dare they
I really appreciate that we're aggregating this information and starting to call out racist bullshit like this in the media.
I haven't watched or read any actual news in a while because it was obvious to me that they're only reporting on stuff they want to report on.
It always boiled my blood when they're talking about irrelevant shit and the stats say that in the past hour there have been x crashes, y deaths, and z other serious issues that have happened.
It annoyed me when they would make headline news stories about commonplace things like "82 year old grandmother died of old age".... When there's war, famine and death from not "natural causes" happening continually. They'd lengthen the story with interviews of people that knew the person, and interviews with old folks asking "what's the secret to a long life" and get bullshit answers from them.
Who cares? Why are you taking time and attention away from the people who have been shot and killed because the government sent them overseas to fight for the profits of some oil company that wants to rape another country of its natural resources? All those people killed... FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.
Then I remember, they get funding from those oil tycoons. They've been bought and paid for. The whole thing is corrupt and idiotic.
