Bari Weiss Discovers ICE Agent's Pain, Ignores Woman Shot Dead
Bari Weiss, formerly of the 'New York Times' and now a purveyor of 'intellectual dark web' content, reportedly pushed CBS News to highlight an ICE agent's alleged injuries after he shot and killed Renee Good. This was despite internal staff concerns that the focus should remain on the deceased. The convenient timing of such narratives, always framing the state's agents as victims even when they
are the aggressors, is a staple of media that normalizes state violence. One might wonder if Ms. Weiss applies the same robust journalistic scrutiny to those killed by state actors. This isn't just about CBS or Weiss; it's a pattern. The media often pivots to the 'trauma' of state agents after they've exercised lethal force, subtly shifting the blame. It’s the same playbook used when journalists
humanize soldiers occupying lands abroad while dehumanizing the civilians whose lives they've shattered. The 'legitimate concerns' of enforcement personnel routinely overshadow the stark reality of those they kill. How many 'internal injuries' does a dead woman's family get?
