#blackcrime — Public Fediverse posts

Disinformation kills.

🎺 Disinformation about people of color never disappeared. It has flourished on talk radio, on #FoxNews and on websites like Newsmax and Breitbart, which for a time featured a “#BlackCrime” menu option and regularly traffics in stories about “illegals,” the “border crisis” and “migrant crime.” #Outlets with no journalistic #ethics don’t just happen to dabble in these fictions; they bank on them. #Disinformation is part of their business model.
