The AP picked up a story of a small town family run newspaper whose 90 year old owner/publisher resigned in shame after printing a “racist” cartoon about defunding the police.
The story was also posted on HuffPost, AOL, Washington Compost and many more national and local news outlets across the nation.
Why is it newsworthy across the nation what one old man printed in his own newspaper, except to send a message to all news outlets: deviate from the narrative and we will end you.
This is the second white man to have his life upended in this small Missouri town in the past 2 weeks. The other was a farmer who shared a “racist” meme saying that if the looters put in an honest days work, they would be too tired to loot.
So far no reports of any POC lives being ruined in this town.
