The heroes of Hurricane Harvey the divisive media need to cover.
At times when America needs to pull together, it would be nice if the media could pay heed to the following message which was posted on facebook:
"Attention CNN, Fox News, NBC, CBS, ABC:
I want to see days and weeks of coverage about Dickinson, Texas, a town that is approximately 1/3 Black, 1/3 Hispanic, and 1/3 White. I want to see editorials discussing how neighbor helped neighbor, regardless of race, sexual orientation or which statuses they think are appropriate. I want to see nightly discussions of the human response to seeing their fellow man in need. I want to see video of a white good-old boy helping a black man and his family onto his boat so they can escape flood waters. I want to see video of a Hispanic man whose parents were migrant farmers workers helping a white man and his family onto his boat. I don't want to hear how Trump supported or antagonized anything. I want to see these things because they are actually happening right now in Texas. This is America today. That's what I want to see.
You are purveyors of negativity and divisiveness because that's what gives you ratings and income. You intentionally deceive us. Because in all this human suffering along the Texas coast, you don't even see that love and decency abound in America. Maybe you do, but that won't make you as much money, will it?"
Now more than ever, America needs to hear the message shared by the author of this facebook post, instead of the hate-baiting agenda of divisiveness pushed by some sections of the media.
To be fair, some reporters do share the sentiments of the author of the above message. For example, Fox News have featured several hurricane updates talking about people helping their fellow Americans in need. These are the stories we need to hear. This is what makes America great. Good people offering real help to those who truly need it. It's that simple.
