Weekly Example of Media Bias - April 15, 2021
1. What type of bias did Twitter display by blocking well-known sports journalist Jason Whitlock when he pointed out the hypocrisy of BLM's Marxist co-founder?
2. After the lock on his account was widely publicized, Twitter unlocked Whitlock's account, sending him a note saying he was "locked in error." Twitter locked the account by falsely claiming he violated a rule. It was not an error - Twitter regularly locks the accounts of people who express opinions that do not fall in line with progressive/leftist beliefs, or of people they do not like. Twitter is a private company, but a public forum. Being blocked on Twitter silences the free speech of users. What is your reaction to Twitter's censorship?
3. Watch the discussion between Jason Whitlock and Curtis Scoon. Do you agree with the assertions the two make about BLM? Explain your answer.
