Stay woke

The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.

Malcom X

If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

Malcom X As I go through the news reports of the situation in Ferguson I've been finding that many of the first person accounts, videos, images and live streams I'm seeing about Ferguson drastically differ from the news articles I'm reading. Some of these articles have such blatant biases that I'm actually shocked. After seeing certain articles, I'm getting more and more skeptical about the accuracy of presentation on the events. The only news clips that I'm seeing that match what the situation visually, audibly and through the live streams and collective first person accounts are ones that are being spread through tumblr and other social media sites like twitter, (and they're still from legitimate news sources) but when I search Ferguson online, or see the articles posted on Facebook by larger organizations the discrepancies are not only frustrating but also quite stressful. Many of us have already begun questioning whether or not we can trust the police forces tasked to protect us, but now I am also wondering (more so than usual) how much I can honestly trust these news sources. In a time like this especially, the spread of Accurate information is vital. During this time, the above quote from Malcom X comes to mind.

It's just like when you've got some coffee that's too black, which means it's too strong. What you do? You integrate it with cream; you make it weak. If you pour too much cream in, you won't even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it'll put you to sleep. This is what they did with the march on Washington. They joined it. They didn't integrate it; they infiltrated it. They joined it, became a part of it, took it over. And as they took it over, it lost its militancy. They ceased to be angry. They ceased to be hot. They ceased to be uncompromising. Why, it even ceased to be a march. It became a picnic, a circus. Nothing but a circus, with clowns and all. You had one right here in Detroit — I saw it on television — with clowns leading it, white clowns and black clowns. I know you don’t like what I'm saying, but I’m going to tell you anyway. 'Cause I can prove what I'm saying. If you think I'm telling you wrong, you bring me Martin Luther King and A. Philip Randolph and James Farmer and those other three, and see if they'll deny it over a microphone
