Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

Until recently, I was a director of data science at Thomson Reuters, one of the biggest news organizations in the world. It was my job, among other things, to sift through reams of numbers and figure out what they meant.

About a year ago, I stumbled on a really big story. It was about black Americans being gunned down across the country and the ways in which we report on that violence. We had been talking nonstop about race and police brutality, and I thought: This is a story that could save lives. This is a story that has to be told.

But when I shared the story with my coworkers, my boss chastised me, telling me expressing this opinion could limit my ability to take on leadership roles within the company. Then I was maligned by my colleagues. And then I was fired.

  1. This is endemic. It is everywhere. I spent the last year in ‘conversations’ with the board of my professional association, of which I was an honoree life member based on my contributions to the assn. over many years. I noted they were suddenly supporting BLM, inviting Phd’s in grievance specialties and ‘encouraging’ members to adopt personal pro-nouns. I and many of the long-term membership were aghast but the board and their ‘Diversity, Inclusion and Equity’ committee’s solution was to proclaim me a racist and a bigot to the nation-wide membership. I was brought before their ‘ethics committee’ via Zoom after which I was banishing from the organization with the proviso that I could apply again in twenty five years – when I would be 97!

    I was tempted to call a lawyer due to the defamation and slander, but at my age I just can’t be bothered. There’s nothing they can do to me and I at least have apparently created a schism in the organization, with many long standing members revoking their membership out of disgust with their heavy handed ways.

    1. Spanish inquisition, Witch hunt of Salem, and now Woke Leftism.

      The left has taken us back to the middle ages.

      They invented crimes that only a certain demographic group is ( supposedly ) guilty of , and that is how they justify persecuting that group.

    1. On an average year, 18 unarmed black people and 26 unarmed white people are shot by police. By contrast, roughly 10,000 black people are murdered annually by criminals in their own neighborhoods.

      Again … I ask WHY does a grocery store in a Buffalo, NY zip code of predominately black people require an ARMED security guard? What is it about a local culture that causes a GROCERY STORE to hire armed guards? Answer: 10,000 dead black people … kilt by black people.

      Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta
      A real gangsta-ass nigga plays his cards right
      A real gangsta-ass nigga never runs his fucking mouth
      ‘Cause real gangsta-ass niggas don’t start fights
      And niggas always gotta high cap
      Showing all his boys how he shot ’em
      But real gangsta-ass niggas don’t flex nuts
      ‘Cause real gangsta-ass niggas know they got ’em
      Now, everything is cool in the mind of a gangsta
      ‘Cause gangsta-ass niggas think deep
      Up three-sixty-five, ayo, 24/7
      ‘Cause real gangsta-ass niggas don’t sleep
      And all I gotta say to you, wannabe, gonnabe
      Cocksucking, pussy-eating pranksters
      Is when the fire dies down, what the fuck you gonna do?
      Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta

  2. He blasphemed. He talked heresy. He was purged as an unbeliever. This is how all religions would react.

  3. Control the message and you control the masses.
    But most black people know BLM is bullshit, but the media hides it because a lot of white people are morons.

    Feelings get hurt when the truth gets told.
    These days, Fat & stupid walk around in a delusion of superiority.

  4. “The job of journalists is to report the stories that don’t comport with the prevailing or popular narrative. We desperately need them to do that again.”

    When did they ever do that?

    Journalists are paid to flog whatever their paymasters are selling. Telling the truth gets them fired, if they’re lucky.

  5. There is no journalism journalism, its propaganda wrapped in journalism.
    Most of the ‘journalists’ know this and eventually, if they have any sense, they got to get out and go to independent organizations.
    If the large media cartel organization’s pay well, so far anyway, there are and will be enough of so called ‘journalists’ to take the job and volunteer for propaganda.

    Its interesting to note that the so called ‘centre’ have shifted so much to the extreme socialism/fascism, that normal people are called ‘far right’.

  6. Thou shall not challenge Burn Loot Murder.
    The heart of Progressive Liberalism.
    They FEELZ,so all facts are wrong.

    We need a new country,to make our stand,then as we emerge victorious from that,to start the campaign for Fortress North America.
    Where deluded persons hostile to civilization shall be banished..
    Let us show these Libtards what real intolerance is,for they have sorely abused our patience and tolerance.
    It does not matter what label it chooses,a pervert and a parasite remain what they are.

    Can Ahh Duh is a rotting corpse,where “What is not PERMITTED is FORBIDDEN”.
    And we wonder why it is all falling apart..
    These three generations of maintenance free wastage.

  7. Media “follows the Science” in the same way that Government “follows the Science.” Greta Thunberg is a world-renowned authority on climate, and the death knell for Western Society rang about 2014. The velocity of the decline is on the increase.

  8. “A decade ago, my experience at Thomson Reuters would have been unthinkable. Most Americans probably think it’s still unthinkable. That’s what makes it so dangerous. Most of us don’t understand how deeply compromised our news sources have become. Most of us have no idea that we are suffused with fictions and half-truths that sound sort of believable and are shielded from scrutiny by people whose job is to challenge them.”

    This problem goes well beyond the issue of race. There is a whole constellation of topics where only one side is deemed appropriate for public consumption. In one recent example many media sources promoted a flawed mathematical model claiming unvaxed were a greater danger for Covid transmission than vaxed. The claim was thoroughly debunked. Only the Epoch Times bothered to correct the misleading claim. All other ” reputable” news sources allowed the misleading information to stand.

  9. BLM
    Burn
    Loot
    Murder

    Nothing but a crew of butt ugly fat black mouthy bitches – all of whom are Avowed Communist garbage. (much like the crew of the View)
