Look at these two tweets from the LA Times. The 1st downplays the racist attack against Larry Elder by describing it as a “hostile reception.” The 2nd makes it seem like the LAPD is investigating Elder by using a photo as if he’s slapping a woman. This wasn’t an accident. At all.
Even the woman who appears in the photo is calling out the LA Times for using that image for its tweet. And of course, her reply was somehow buried w/ all replies that “may contain offensive content.” Why couldn’t the LA Times simply use the 1st photo from the actual assault? 🤔
Look, we get it. The LA Times is on Team Newsom. They’ve made it clear time and time again. But these tweets go far beyond just having a political bent. One attempts to erase the assault against Larry Elder and the other makes Elder the assaulter! This crap is so maddening.
UPDATE: The LA Times finally swapped the photo in its tweet after roughly 20 hours.
