Jordan Neely Protest Takes Unexpected Turn
Why Troubling News:
In general, the article does not have egregious misinformation issues, but one section that particularly stood out as problematic was the analysis of a quote from New York BLM leader Hawk Newsome in response to the not-guilty verdict for Daniel Penny. The article responded to Newsome's quote as if it was a fully direct call to violence for the black community, though it in reality is much more likely a rhetorical remark aimed at calling out what he and others believe to be hypocrisy and racism in the justice system. By not acknowledging this alternative perspective and jumping to portray Newsome and his supporters in a violent light, the author is expressing at least a minor form of bias against the BLM movement and their intentions.
