Marion Barry was a well liked activist politician in his community. He was arrested in an FBI drug sting. He received a 6 month jail sentence and a $5,000 fine. James Traficant spent 7 years in jail for bribery and racketeering. He was expelled from Congress. What is the difference between their crimes? Marion Barrys conviction was for a personal failure that affected none of his constituents financially or otherwise. James Traficant used his elected office to provide favors and bribes. He indirectly leveraged taxpayer dollars. Yet in the memorial, Meet The Press featured Marion Barrys drug sting and featured James Traficant giving a speech. This type of racial media bias is constant throughout the corporate run media. It has a purpose. It is to keep one segment of society either fearful of another, feared, or marginalized. It is to keep divisions to ensure we are ultimately controlled. Thoughts
