Paying attention to both sides of the aisle in political norms can be a grueling task. To show both sides I try to do it daily. But it is very apparent to those attuned to the news that both sides do not report the same stories. In fact many times they don’t even report the same story in the same way. With the facts right in front of them they will twist and turn a narrative to their liking. One that doesn’t fit the actual story. As you might guess those folks not really watching but skimming the news can be swayed easily. That’s what these peddlers count on.
One of these narratives I came upon yesterday. I watched as the right side leaning media covered a story of police officers throughout the streets of New York City showing the love for their fellow fallen officers. Words from the spouse of one of the officers and fellow officers on the news to show their support.
This in a simple world would be a near copy on every network news and website. Something we all can get behind, that of two officers ambushed and slain in the prime of their lives. Going to CNN’s website I anticipated decent coverage and a slant to the left due to the nature of the news itself. But, I found nothing. Not one story on the streets flooded with a sea of blue. Not one story on the slain officers. Not one story on how crime is becoming rampant in our big cities.
Literal crickets. Silence speaks a thousand words they say, and their silence will ring through the minds of many of us. This was a story that all of us could get behind. I could have even put up with a little of their gun scare tactics if they had reported on the story. Yet, I have nothing to show you for a comparison on what they said or thought. Except, silence which becomes a cover for their narrative to stand tall.
Every time you come to see an article I write here I will try to compare the two sides. Yes, I will lean my way most of the time. But I will never stand in silence on any story you may want to talk about. I will try to compare, contrast and cover as my eyes see it. Nothing flashy or eye catching, just the real truth. I pray you continue on this journey with me as I get more and more in depth of the daily happenings in our world. The things that effect us, the things that may effect us, and shinning the light on those who will not stand in it.
