Mainstream Media Colorized Headlines Mask the Bigger Problem of Same Color Violence

Writer: News Digger ResearchNews Digger Research

In our latest dig, we examine how the Mainstream Media (MSM) uses intentional and deliberately incendiary and selectively colorized headlines in coordination with the Biden administration's policy agenda as it suppresses black-on-black violence.



In World War II, the Germans had a word for what we are unfold today under the current administration. They called it Gleichschaltung (or coordination). This was a technique used in Germany to coordinate all aspects of society and societies "from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture, and education" (Wikipedia, 2021). We see Coca-Cola Corporation, United Airlines, and Major League Baseball following the media's narrative. We see it echoed on college campuses and all spearheaded by the administration says. Love him or hate him, Donald Trump never wielded this level of authority during his presidency. The latest flare-up, post-Derek Chauvin verdict, took place in Columbus, Ohio. The police arrived, and Ma'Khia Bryant immediately charged towards another woman to try and stab her. The officer is damned if he does, and he is damned if he does not—a black-on-black attack. There is very little time for anyone of any color to make a judgment call. Watch it yourself.


Even when it's a black-on-black crime and white police are actually trying to save black lives, they are demonized by black and whites alike on Twitter. Policemen and policewomen are trapped in a much-needed job where they are not respected and cannot win. LeBron James tweeted this threatening message today 4/21/2021. However, he immediately deleted the Tweet, so we can longer properly cite the URL properly.

We are living in strange days right now. We have to wonder if it can get any weirder than "leading Democrats, the NAACP Columbus Branch and leading liberals attacking police for shooting a Black teen girl as she was in the act of attempting to murder another Black teen girl with a knife" (Taylor, 2021). It's interesting because we hear about White Police officer killing a Black teenage girl even when she was attacking another Black teenage girl with a knife. What does the media put on page 6? What do they try to hide from us? And what does it look like when we colorize these headlines.

Do you remember when this happened?


Original Headline: Idaho man fatally shot in own backyard after officer mistakes him for suspect, police say (Sorace, 2021).


This just happened in February of 2021. You might have missed it in the headlines. It did not fit into any narrative that the mainstream media could get ratings and exploit. It doesn't instill fear or division among people. If they tried to add color, which we refer to as Colorizing the headline, for the reader, you can see why this sounds idiotic and potentially counters the narrative that the MSM wishes to portray.


Colorized MSM Headline: White Idaho man fatally shot in own backyard after White officer mistakes him for White suspect, police say.


When you colorize white on white death from a Police officer, it erodes and negates common stereotypes that the left can be found often echoing about the Republican party, For example, "Oh, he was Black, and all cops are Republicans and Republicans think all Black people look alike" A horrible comment and stereotype, but one that can easily be found online uttered by the extreme fringes of the Democrat party on Twitter. Does this mean that we should assume that all white people wearing khaki pants look alike? The very premise sounds completely ridiculous and dumb when you read a headline like that one. Adding color to white on white crime diminishes the narrative. It works the same way when it is black-on-black as well. So what happens? These stories get deprioritized and pushed from headline to page 6 with little to no national recognition by the media. The same principle holds when a Black officer kills a White criminal. It removes and diminishes the notion that only White Police are attacking Black people. It's the Uno Reverse card to the narrative that the media and the administration wish to paint, so it goes straight to page-6. The bottom line is that people mistake people for other people, and the reality is that color has nothing to do with it. It happens. What about Black on Black crime? Let's test the headline.


Original Headline and sentence: 40 shot, 5 fatally, in Chicago this weekend – Fifteen of the shooting victims were wounded in a single attack early Sunday during a party at a South Side business (The Sun-Times Wire, 2021).


Colorized MSM Headline: 50 Black people shot, 5 fatally, by Black People in Chicago this weekend - Fifteen of the Black shooting victims were wounded by Black shooters in a single attack early Sunday during a party at a South Side business.


It's only about a person's race when the news wants it to be about race. If it doesn't fit the narrative, the headline is neutered and barely gets national attention. We call this Page 6'ed at News Digger. There is a story on the Associated Press and on Reuters, but it won't appear on their home landing headline page. You actually have to dig to find the articles and contents. It's all about shock value and pulling on heartstrings. The faster you realize this, the better off the United States of America will be.

If you watch the News Media, the events surrounding George Floyd's death are tragic, but you probably don't know Angelo Quinto's name. In February 2021 he died after a police officer similarly placed his knee on Angelo's neck for approximately 5 minutes. No riots. No national headlines. No calls to prevent knees on necks as it relates to Angelo. Instead, communities across America have chosen to hold up George Floyd as the poster example of wrongdoing, even though he has a criminal past and by all accounts died from a drug overdose and not by anything that Chauvin did that day. Angelo is Filipino, and the officer was White, so it did not fit a good narrative. Let's look at colonizing the headline the way the media normally would.

Original Headline: Man dies after police kneel on his neck for nearly 5 minutes, family says in wrongful death claim (Chan & Ashmelash, 2021).


Colorized Headline: White man dies after White cop kneels on his neck for nearly 5 minutes, family says in wrongful death claim Entire cities and small businesses are not burning down. I wonder why? You notice that nobody ever shares statistics in these stories. Recorded statistics and narratives that the media wants to paint are two completely different things entirely. There is a reason why CNN ratings are down nearly 50% since Trump left office. That’s not the only reason they should be plummeting. The mainstream media paints each narrative how they want to paint it and only when they want to paint it that way. Look at every single weekend in Chicago over the last year. I only searched for the keyword “4 killed.” Up the numbers and change the months if you are finally ready to eat the red pill and stop believing what you hear from CNN and these other television entertainers. Search Chicago 4 Fatally Shot and then change the months and years. Many of these were multiple homicides at one scene. Look at the dates. These are all deep into the Pandemic.

Black Lives Matter calls attention to blacks "murdered" by police, and they received over 90M in donations (Valerie Jarrett, 2021). Where are the organizations and the donations to prevent black-on-black violence and/or white-on-white violence? There is no acknowledgment of this type of violence at a national level. The media suppresses these stories. The amount of police officer interactions compared with the deaths of all people of all colors is statistically and staggeringly low compared to the population. True, Black people have a higher likelihood of being killed by a police officer. This is likely due to living in denser populated areas and having more encounters with police overall. That said, every one of us has a much higher probability of being killed by a person who is not a police officer of our same color. The Democrats and media are wrongly and hurtfully using disinformation, skewing statistics, and suppressing information to keep our country divided. It really needs to stop. In a mere three months since the administration took power, people are actively calling upon one another to take out people on Twitter. This is not unity, not even remotely close to unity.
