🧵THREAD: Fox 45 News (@FoxBaltimore) - for several years - has been used as a tool of its owner, Sinclair Broadcasting (@WeAreSinclair), to forward a propaganda around Black inferiority.

What’s their goal?

✅Dehumanize Black people and Black children

✅Undermine Baltimore’s Black political power

✅Roll back the impacts of criminal/juvenile justice reform

✅Recruit Black people to their racist agenda by harnessing the worst experiences and perspectives held by our own community.
