"Had a white Capitol Police officer shot and killed an unarmed Black Lives Matter protester on January 6, instead of a black officer having shot an unarmed white Ashli Babbitt for protesting the numerous irregularities surrounding the 2020 election, would the officer have been treated as a hero and celebrated by corporate news? Would Congress and the White House have applauded law enforcement's killing of an unarmed black woman waving an American flag? Would a congressional committee have been formed to torment the families of those killed and those imprisoned to hype the incident as somehow far worse than the U.S. Civil War that took nearly a million lives? Would courts have gone out of their way to punish black Americans for trespassing in the "people's house" because judges believed that it was important to intimidate them into compliance? Would military generals have written editorials encouraging the Pentagon to purge all Black Lives Matter–supporters from the armed forces because they represented an inherent threat to the national security of the United States? Would the FBI have called Black Lives Matter members the single greatest threat to the country?"

I have posited this exact scenario on this forum a few times.

I find that the tool of putting the shoe on the other foot exposes the absurdity of situations quite well in many cases.

Excellent article. Thanks for posting it.

much of the problems we face as a nation today would go away because those accountable would be held accountable by the media.

The media holds no one accountable! That is not their job. The citizens hold those accountable who need held accountable. The citizens failed way more miserably in holding elected officials accountable than the media failed to report the news.

I would submit to you that the media is the peoples representative in Washington. The media “reports” what is going on in DC and that gives us the information to decide. I do concur that we hold Washington accountable by voting and if that process is corrupt, we are screwed.
