My first awakening experience to the Mainstream Media was the murder of a Black man, James Byrd, on June 7, 1998 in Jasper, Texas.
According to the media, three white supremacists (Shawn Berry, Lawrence Brewer, and John King) killed Byrd by dragging him behind a pickup truck for three miles. The media claimed it was all a big racial incident and it was a random attack because the victim was Black. It set off a national medial storm, protests, etc... .
The thing is, James Byrd and two of the three killers KNEW each other very well. They had all been in the same prison together a few months earlier and shared the same dormitory style unit. They ate breakfast, lunch and dinner together for months, had clean-up detail together and were around each other basically 24/7 for months. There were arguments and physical confrontations between the perps and Byrd, threats exchanged and people certainly knew that that three men hated each other. Their constant bickering was always getting the prison unit in trouble and caused grief for the other prisoners.
When the perps were released, they KNEW where Byrd lived and they went looking for him. It was targeted and was a prison fight that happened outside of prison. It wasn't a random attack at all.
What happened wasn't right... but the press totally LIED about it. ALL of the news stations knew that the men were all former prisoners together, that they all knew each other and that there was bad blood between them. They knew. Instead, the press lied to the public and made it sound as if it were a random attack.
There is a park now in Jasper Texas with a statue in James Byrd's honor. The guy was a total scumbag. I only know a little about James Byrd, but none of it was good. The other guys were bad news as well. What happened was obviously wrong.
However, I learned from that incident how quickly the Main Stream Media will LIE to the American Public. They manipulated the incident to push a false narrative and stir up racial hatred in America. They HID the truth.
That was the last time I ever trusted the media on anything. From there on, my eyes were open to just how they manipulate news stories, how often they lie or hide the truth... to serve their own agenda. I never listened to national news again except with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Anything is possible... but NOT in the prison unit where they were last held together for several months. I doubt it ever happened like that.
They just hated each other and kept getting on each other's nerves. That's all it took to cause altercations. It didn't need to be anything more than that.
The point was that Main Stream Media acted like it was a completely random incident. Three white men happened upon an innocent black man walking down the road and decided to chain him to the back of the pickup truck and drag him to death. The poor guy was just an innocent victim of racism. That was the whole narrative.
The truth is that none of the people involved were innocent. The media knowingly lied to our entire nation... and got race riots started as a result... just to cause more division.
