    Steadman™ Retweeted Kasie Hunt

    Respectfully, this frustrates me re: media conversation abt objectivity. There's often little thought given to how our vocal deference to institutions like police or FBI also reveals bias -- and impacts public trust, esp in communities where these orgs have often acted unlawfullyhttps://twitter.com/kasie/status/1042593486049091584 …

    I would just like to say as a journalist and a Christian I know no person or organization is perfect, but I do appreciate the work our law enforcement officers at the FBI and across the government do to protect this country every day. 👊🏻 https://twitter.com/peterbakernyt/status/1042392612689334272 …

        This is such an important point/discussion. The trap I think some outlets fall into is thinking that just reporting/passing along what official sources say is the objective thing to do (who are we to withhold that info?) when in fact that practice can be distortive.

        And I think there's sometimes a gap btwn what news orgs intend to convey & what the public perceives. News org updates a story w a detail provided by police (often w/out putting new detail in larger context) & assumes ppl will have seen earlier pieces that provide greater context

        That's why you often see these takes from those speaking from a position of privilege...if the FBI and police had conducted itself during the women's suffrage movement as it had during the civil rights movement I don't think they'd keep that same energy...

        No reporter covering a law enforcement institution should ever defer to it. That's what press officers do

        Normally I would agree with you but right now we have a clown trying to destroy our FBI because it’s investigating him. So yes I am going to support them and not jump on the Trump anti FBI band wagon. Right now it is all hands on deck to save the institutions of this country.

        James Comey who people have been falling over themselves to praise oversaw the creation of the “black identity extremist” label for BLM activists. So as a black person how exactly should I feel when I see the media making no mention of that and rushing to paint him as a hero?
