It's not racist unless you use the 'N' word.
No /s because that's the rule in 2024
Or if one anonymous source on FB indicates it might have a sliver of truth to the statement, nevermind it was debunked by 6 media outlets.
Part of the problem is that for the 6 debunking it, there are 26 uncritically amplifying that statement in a flagrant act of journalistic malpractice in service of ending democracy for clicks... Not that anything would change the minds of the MAGAt cultists at this point.
It's also thousands of literally-fraudulent AI-written propaganda sites misrepresenting themselves as local news: https://www.newsnationnow.com/business/tech/fake-news-sites-outnumber-us-newspaper-sites/
I think the 1st amendment has run amok in this country. Plenty of occasions where lying will get you in deep shit. Calling yourself a "news" org and lying should be illegal.
