The media tells us what to believe and what to care about. The graphs below show how effective they are in doing it.

In a series of tweets and graphs, Kanekoa, a popular Twitter user, said, “Look at the increase of news articles mentioning “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” “diversity and inclusion,” and “unconscious bias.”

Since 2010, especially after 2012, the concerns about these issues have risen at the same rate as media reporting about them!

Kanekoa asks, “How does the media’s focus on identity politics and critical race theory contribute to the division and polarization of society?”

Other terms he put on graphs that were mostly non-existent until 2010 and especially since Biden’s second term included “whiteness,” “intersectionality,” “critical race theory,” “diversity training,” “discrimination,” “social justice,” “people of color,” “racism,” “social justice,” “people of color,” and “racism.”

That’s a good question. Why do you think? It’s more than about selling papers. The mainstream media is owned by five companies shaping and manipulating our thoughts and actions. They tell us what to believe and what to care about.

Elon Musk responded to the following data, saying, “WOW.” Kanekoa answered that it was “remarkable” that “until 2013, racism had appeared to be a non-issue in traditional measures such as reduced racial discrimination, an increase in interracial marriage, and the election of a black president. How much did the media’s obsessive coverage of racism alter this?”
