So much fact and fiction mixed together here.
Depressing to even attempt to respond and refute...

"One black man in his mid-50s was stopped 30 times in less than four years, despite never being charged for anything."

i wonder how he feels about it.

Did any Americans ever get depressed attempting to respond to and refute Tokyo Rose's broadcasts?

When you realise that the 'main stream media' is literally nothing other than a united propaganda industry - literally, as in cold war Pravda and Izvestia - then you pretty much cease to even pay attention to it, and life becomes much more focused. And peaceful, too.

Be of good cheer, the dinosaur media is so-called for a reason, it's literally dying and drying up. Only a minority of people even pay attention, and an even smaller number of people actually believe their garbage.

But even if the whole world bought into the lies, it wouldn't matter - enemy propaganda is enemy propaganda, not 'news and opinion.'

Toguri was only one "Tokyo Rose". There were many all known by that moniker.

hmm, struck me as one of the more thoughtful articles coming out of Vox. What are you guys objecting to in it? The stats check. He references several federal reviews. What?

I didn't read it. I don't care what Pravda says, I automatically chunk it in the trashcan of 'mainstream credibility' as a default response to Minitru.

No, the stats do not check.
So many holes in these studies.
But, it takes so long to go through the methodologies, to find where the bias was injected.
I can point out the obvious issues, but there are so many studies trying to prove their points.
And usually financed by the feds.
Studies are usually done by eager college students "helped" by their professors.

i suggest that your issues here contain a bias, inevitably, and without a minority here to referee, all you will get is meaningless agreement.

Shaz - nice way to imply that I am racist.
You know nothing about me and to imply that shows your own bias.
This is a low blow and I expected better of you.
If you want to continue down this track, just let me know and you will be totally embarassed.
