The best way to spark violence in the streets is by telling people something that isn’t true, especially if that something stokes hatred for one group by another group. Just ask Hitler. Or if he’s too dead, try asking Jalen Rose of ABC and ESPN.
Either Rose wants to foment racial hate and violence says false things in order to do that, or someone else was trying to foment hate and violence and told HIM the wrong things, and he believed it.
Either one is scary and dangerous, and perfectly typical of the press, whether sports-focused or otherwise.
Take a look and listen.
@ESPNNBA @JalenRose just told a bold face lie on national television and @stephenasmith is siding with pedophiles on national television pic.twitter.com/19tphmCR1f

“Here’s the thing: Black Lives Matter protests was actually taking place because Jacob Blake was shot and killed by police officers.”
Uh, no. Every word of what you just said was wrong.
It wasn’t a protest, it was riots. And Jacob Blake wasn’t killed. And … well, here, Clay Travis sets the record(s) straight.
Hey @JalenRose Jacob Blake is still alive, not dead. And he was shot by police because he had a knife, refused to drop it, and a woman he’d sexually assaulted called police asking for protection. This is embarrassing @espn. pic.twitter.com/9ykTEq88tn

This is completely unacceptable @espn, you employ thousands of employees. If your talent is too dumb to know the facts, you have an obligation to educate them. And when you fail this badly you owe all your viewers a correction and public apology for your stupidity.

This is the same kind of disinformation that started the riots in the first place. This is what the media does every day in America. Because guess who they are the enemy of?
