The death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway train has the usual suspects in the media making their spin machine work overtime.
Check out how USA Today framed the story:
Jordan Neely, a beloved subway performer, grew up in a family of musicians who want him to be remembered as a "human being," a family lawyer said. https://t.co/mXJVudDMpF

Greg Gutfeld spotted more propaganda being churned out:
USA Today is now a propaganda arm for violent criminals and the cowardly white liberals who would never step in when crisis calls. https://t.co/DtzKHXSXap

USA Today’s tweet is getting the ratio it was begging for:
The entire story sounds like it could have been written by the Neely family’s attorney and not a “reporter.”
A New Yorker in need should never have been killed, advocates say
Advocates are calling for justice for Neely after New York City police released Penny following questioning Monday.
“What public safety looks like is when everybody has all of their basic needs met and they don’t have to fear for their lives,” said Eric Tars, legal director for the National Homelessness Law Center.
In a Friday news release, the law center said Neely’s death is directly linked to the fact that people of color are overrepresented among the U.S. homeless population, and that people experiencing homelessness are routinely criminalized.
“It is no coincidence that Jordan was murdered on the subway, because the NYC subway system has long been the target of dehumanizing campaigns that condition the public to view unhoused Black men as disposable,” the law center statement says.
It’s also worth noting that in the lengthy USA Today piece, it is not mentioned that Neely had been arrested on more than 40 previous occasions.
Wow….The violent 44 times arrested felon is now an artist!
