NY Post Tries To Make Alleged Killer Kyle Rittenhouse Look Like A Decent Person, Simultaneously Vilifies Jacob Blake - Blavity

It was only a matter of days before police shooting victim Jacob Blake , shot seven times on Sunday night, would be criminalized by mainstream media. So the New York Post's midweek headline saying Blake had a knife in his car was perfectly in tandem with the media's criminalization of Black victims. Amid a nation in peril, Blake's shooting wasn't the only devastation we'd see this week. Just three days after Blake's shooting, a white teen, Kyle Rittenhouse, fatally shot two people protesting Blake's killing and injured another as Blavity previously reported . This offered no greater time for outlets like The Post to showcase their flare for racial bias. Rittenhouse is a Trump supporter who showed up to a Tuesday night Wisconsin protest over the shooting of Blake, a Black 29-year-old father. When Trump glorifies one, we inevitably get the other. If you don’t see how uplifting the McCloskeys emboldens people like Kyle Rittenhouse then you’re not paying attention....
