TL;DR:
Now comes the story of Zac Kriegman, who, until not so long ago, was a director of data science at Thomson Reuters. Kriegman’s crime? Questioning the Black Lives Matter narrative. Kriegman is a person who loves numbers and statistics. As you’ll read below, he didn’t just voice an opinion to his colleagues. He made an argument after having done extensive research. He thought logic would win out. He was wrong.

The media has always done poorly on the topics of race. All they do is base their stories on what the masses want to read and believe when it comes to race. This was true back when they referred to descriptions of black men as “negro menace” to how they’ve covered or didn’t cover crimes in minority neighborhoods. Even today they weirdly selectively choose to display the race or remove it based on hurting feelings. The media has been and will always be terrible at reporting issues involving race.
