Jordan Neely vs Brian Thompson (hexbear.net)

Are we all supposed to forget how the news portrayed Jordan and his murderer? Jordan was constantly referred to as dangerous, mentally unwell and that the guy who murdered him was protecting passengers, and now suddenly they find their humanity for UHC's CEO; an insurance company with a shockingly high amount of denied claims?

The people working at news companies are absolutely monstrous people.

Jordan was starving and hadn't had anything to drink and was desperate, and the guy who choked him to death didn't even stop when the poor guy was completely out and had even soiled himself because he'd died; of course the news was given two people: a homeless man and a former marine, and they decided the latter was of more worth.

Are we supposed to forget the heinous behavior of these journalists and their devaluing of the life of homeless people? Their devaluing of the life of a black homeless person?

Its maddening to see these two stories currently unfolding side by side.

One report on the Jordan Neely murder trial started with the newscaster talking about how his murderer appeared in court in a suit... like, what? Are ya'll really trying to paint this guy as a prim and proper, upstanding citizen while he's on trial for murder? And throughout the coverage they keep on emphasizing what the defense is saying, in particular the "everyone on the train was afraid" angle. At one point they even said that the prosecution made no attempt to refute that the other passengers were scared as if that's justification for Neely's murder.
