national messaging? nobody outside of La and TD has any clue about st george.

It is a combination of inherent leftist bias in the media with an equally strong desire by the media to not learn the nuances of a story fully.

I used to work in a newsroom. You can trust me when I say the room is full of people who develop a vision or opinion of a story in a snap, and don’t veer from it unless they uncover overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They do not care about accuracy as much as just blurting something out and moving to the next story. It’s really sad.

They don’t report that St. George was an unincorporated area that was never a part of Baton Rouge to begin with because they can’t explain that nuance in a headline, and that’s as deep as they want to go. They are okay with being wrong about that detail. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story. That’s how they think.

I certainly didn’t feel rich growing up in the prestigious St George. My parents built a modest home when I was two/three, in Quail Ridge then upgraded to build another larger modest home in Oak Hills a couple years later. This was a young (in his 20s) chemist’s salary with absolutely zero family money or second income.

At least for most of my life we were the typical STG residents.

(Also lived and my mom and step dad still live in a house that cost under $80k in Iberville Terrace and briefly in Wimbledon—that was as fancy as it got.)

These national news outlets are not basing their reporting on their own efforts, they are mining the local news stories for their articles. Direct most of your anger at the completely corrupt and complicit local media (WAFB, WBRZ, WVLA, The Advocate). They have consistently towed the line for those against St. George.

Growing up is realizing that you can't trust any large news media anymore. They're out to spin a story and get viewers. Salacious and scandal sells.

Then you start to think back to all the historical news stories that were reported over the years and wonder how much of it was factual.

The national messaging

It’s all just the same pitiful Marxist deconstruction of every single issue. Too vapid for serious people to waste time on and relying entirely on an audience of readers and viewers who don’t possess critical thinking skills and who are susceptible to the woke mind virus . This country is in serious trouble, folks. Idiocracy unleashed.
