🤔 But the station you work say the opposite every single day. @FOXBaltimore / @WeAreSinclair literally advances a narrative that Black people are more violent from the stories that they run. And you - a Black man - directly participate in making it happen.

FOX45 is not concerned about transparency. They are using white supremacist dog whistles to cast aspersions on Black organizations. We need to stop them from doing this.

What I’m describing isn’t necessarily new or groundbreaking. But it is important that we don’t look at @FoxBaltimore/@WeAreSinclair are some independent journalistic news organization. They are parasites that are working to destroy our community. And that’s how we need to

THREAD: @FoxBaltimore/@WeAreSinclair actually uses white supremacist propaganda to dehumanize Black Baltimore Residents. What’s dangerous about it is that we can miss it, unless we’re paying attention. Let’s discuss how Fox45/Sinclair is doing this in a few ways…
