Show no picture.

That’s what I was thinking, that there is always, always, always going to be bias at play in the choice of the photo to run. I would really like it if there was a standard method that could help guide media outlets towards picking as neutral a photo as possible, and your guidelines seem pretty reasonable. I’d almost…

Even more sad: I’m about to go to work.

It’s Thanksgiving.

What completely bias-free method would you recommend for selecting a picture of a victim?

Showing a more recent photo of James doesn’t make his shooting any more justified. He literally looks like a baby in the photo most of the press is using.

“Your White, Liberal Thanksgiving Better Come with a Hearty Donation to the Dakota Access Pipeline Protesters”

It is true that mostly the Masters of the Universe are white dudes.

Sorry, I have limited funds to donate, and I chose to donate to a local community shelter that will directly help those in my community.

I am all for offering a suggestion of some way to support those who are doing good work and making sacrificing for the betterment of others. While I make regular charitable donations, I could do better, no doubt.
