4/9/2021 - In this episode, we look at the narrative around the Derek Chauvin trial now that we're a couple weeks in. We talk about the corporate press' framing of the prosecution and the likely situation where Chauvin could be acquitted. We also talk about the potential fallout of any outcome that doesn't convict Chauvin and what agendas will likely benefit from more protests/riots. We also go through a piece on Vox that talks about Floyd's drug use and weirdly omits that Floyd was saying he couldn't breathe well before he had a knee on his neck. This episode isn't a defense of Derek Chauvin; it's more an admission that he will not be guilty in our court system and thinking out loud about the narrative the corporate press is shaping.
