Media Bias in Black and White - Graphing the Great Awokening
If you believe the mainstream media - that is, the national leftwing media - you would think that racism in America has become a frightening problem. Yet, while America remains the most free and open country on earth, it is actually media coverage that has become exponentially biased.
Zach Goldberg has been tweeting out research on the use of specific phrases in the national news media. The trends he has revealed truly are scary because they illustrate the degree to which the national leftwing media is focusing on politically-correct coverage.
One might ask: why the relatively sudden media focus on race-baiting? One answer is that the 2020 election is coming up. The Democrat party really doesn't have national issues to run on. So they and their mainstream media cohorts are fabricating racial and identity group conflict as election issues.
And as Steve Sailer states points out in Graphing the Great Awokening (Unz Review, May 28, 2019):
... Something to keep in mind is that the NYT [New York Times] figured out a while ago that it could cheaply generate a lot of clickbait content without sending out expensive foreign correspondents to Rangoon or wherever. Instead, it could just pay its intersectional interns to generate cheap content in genres that they would obsess over for free anyway, like “The White Patriarchy Is Trying to Erase My Hair.”
You can view Zach Goldberg's graphs on Twitter. Here are his current set of graphs, here in case Twitter decides to censor him. Take a look at the data. Wow!
