The news media is screwing up the reporting around Ma'Khia Bryant because it has moved away from focusing on reporting the facts. In this new paradigm, facts are only worthwhile insofar as they promote a single Narrative. https://www.inquiremore.com/p/narrative-journalism-isnt-journalism
Narrative-driven news media can't report honestly about violent crime because it doesn't recognize it as a thing that exists and impacts the lives of ordinary people. If it's not about racism, the police, or racist police, the media just ignores it. https://www.inquiremore.com/p/narrative-journalism-isnt-journalism
Police shootings are rare and declining. Shootings and murders committed by criminal are more common and increasing. Yet the former gets so much ink and attention and the latter next to none because the media is obsessed with Narrative over truth. https://www.inquiremore.com/p/narrative-journalism-isnt-journalism
One day before Bryant's death, a 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death in another Ohio town. That story will never break out into national media, and neither would the events in Columbus if police weren't involved. https://www.inquiremore.com/p/narrative-journalism-isnt-journalism
The media isn't simply highlighting the loss of life or human tragedies. The media is promoting a Narrative designed to drive clicks and promote division. That isn't journalism, and it isn't good for the country. https://www.inquiremore.com/p/narrative-journalism-isnt-journalism
