Centuries from now, when archaeologists unearth the long-buried cities of the United States of America, they may find artifacts of what by then will be the forgotten craft of journalism. Just as we look today at the medical practices of antiquity and wonder how our forebears could have been so backward, those archaeologists of the future will marvel, as they sift through a newly unearthed newsroom amid the ruins New York, Washington, D.C., or Los Angeles, that American journalists were once burdened by such quaint notions as objectivity, fairness, and devotion to the truth. “Imagine,” they will say, “being so primitive as to present a news story without an agenda.”
Maybe some future historian, upon being presented with these archaeological discoveries, will draw the connection between the decline of American journalism and that of the country itself. And maybe that historian will look at a recent story in the Los Angeles Times as a luminous example of that very decline.
I refer you to the August 16 story that ran under the headline “Getting killed by police is a leading cause of death for young black men in America.” As is the intent, the headline is an attention-grabber. “My goodness,” the reader is expected to say, “those young black men must be getting a pretty raw deal from the police these days.” Most readers of course will not delve beyond the headline, but even those who do will not encounter anything resembling journalism as it was once practiced. Rather, they’ll find more than 1,400 words devoted to the racial-grievance agenda that drives so much of what appears in the Los Angeles Times.
And worse, not only is journalism itself perverted with the story, but so is science,

abortion kills more
Run ins with other black men is the leading cause of death for young black men!
I’d say ‘Liberalism’ is...............
93% of black homicides is black-on-black.
Add that to the tens of millions black babies murdered by the racist group, Planned Butcherhood.
Global warming and climate change kill more young black males than anything else. /sarc
HA!
Better said is leading cause of death for blacks is resisting arrest.

Is It True That ‘Getting Killed by Police Is a Leading Cause of Death for Young Black Men,’?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sure it is. I see it on TV all the time! ( sarc.)
Actually the leading cause of death of black men in Chicago
is black on black violence. When you see the numbers, thousands of casualties in Chicago alone every year, you realize the truth:
The Dems run Chicago as a Leftist inspired war zone that they want spread all over the country to destroy America as we know it. “It da revlooshun!”
NO. End of discussion.
a Leading Cause of Death for Young Black Men is Young Black Men !
I would venture a guess that more young black men get killed in Chicago in a month than are killed by police in a year, perhaps by a large margin.
The leading cause of death of young black men is young black men.
It’s not the major cause! but the media love it and have made it “a leading” cause.
Perhaps it is just bad luck. In the movies, I have observed the black guy always dies first like red shirted ensign ricky in star trek
And gang violence.
I’m gonna guess that most of those black men shot to death in Chicago every week are not killed by police.
Perhaps some statistical analysis should be done, and it’d likely show that blacks who live in rural environments are 99-percent less likely to be killed by cops or by weapons in general.
