Visual Representation of the 2020 Black Lives Matter
Protests: Comparing US Mainstream Media Images to
Citizens’ Social Media Postings

"This study compared visual rhetoric portraying the 2020 BLM Protests in the US. Overall findings reveal
variations across the media, and especially between the (CNN and MSNBC) and (Fox News) media websites.

"Our analyses indicate that while the progressive media was pro-BLM protests, i.e., images emphasizing the
BLM signs and symbols, the conservative media platform seemed to be anti-protests, i.e., images depicting
BLM protestors as violent and looters. Particularly, more than 90% of the images analyzed from the
progressive media websites had a sign or symbol of the BLM movement and most images showed a racially diverse group in support of the protests (Figure 1).
On the other hand, most recurring images from Fox News website were characterized by their news
anchors, especially Tucker Carlson, and his criticism of the protests (Figure 2). Other images were long shots
and mostly not focused on individuals and depicting protestors as violent. A few that were close-up shots
were accompanied by anti-protest captioned like 'Protesters carrying BLM signs vandalize CA police station'."

I understand the sentiment behind people saying we "need" conservative media to "balance" against potential groupthink, but consider that the so-called "liberal media" has advocated in the past 7 years, through both op-eds and journalism the following:

-trans people are gross and weird
-that Ron DeSantis, he sure is a maverick, huh?
-these goddamn liberal college kids keep getting mad at racists, like a bunch of pussies
-we should impose martial law to get these ni-, I mean, thugs in BLM off the street
-man, these Nazis are pretty dapper!
-why do people not want to date Republicans? Just because they keep espousing racist, homophobic, and misogynistic ideas? That's fuckin weak, bro.

So, in all honesty, y'all can miss me with that "we need conservative opinions in the media" bullshit, because we have that ALREADY. Like, ALL THE TIME.

After reading this, I'm grateful that #Elon didn't own #Twitter (or #Facebook) on #Jan6. It would have been much, much worse.

The next time someone cries #LiberalMedia to you, show them this article. It's clear now that nearly every social media site bent a knee for #trump and his cult. And they will do it again if we let them.

One site, however, isn't mentioned at all: Mastodon🐘 Good!

What the Jan. 6 probe found out about social media, but didn’t report

#TRUMP, IN IT TO WIN IT! TRUMP ANNOUNCES #PRESIDENTIALRUN. Despite the #liberalmedia and #Democrat #RINO naysayers, Trump’s #election record of endorsed #candidates is nothing short of impressive. “89% success rate with his general election picks, having eked out 233 victories and 28 losses”

I couldn't stop watching this!

What a great beat-down of a real pretentious piece of fluff by Stephen Crowder, debating [just barely], trans women in women's sports.

"When Crowder does a "Change My Mind," people who engage are mostly cordial. But every so often, we get a real douchelord. Meet Steven Monacelli. #liberalmedia #girlssports #changemymind"
