The Associated Press attempted to incite violence against white people by fanning the flames of racial hatred. They did so through their report of the murder by hanging of a black woman, Tasia Fortune, who was only 29. After a black man, Jarques Ratcliff, 51, was arrested for the murder, the narrative wasn’t changed, that white supremacism is causing a lynching epidemic.
AP continued to promote the original anti-white narrative, accusing white supremacism of murdering the woman. CNN, which reported on the story in a similar manner, failed to follow up on the story when it became apparent the murderer was not a white man after all. This is not the free press, this is a military operation.

EXCERPT:
The Associated Press can describe a Mississippi murder in the language of 1930. What it will not do, at least on X, is show the face of the man charged with it.
Why? Because doing so would completely invalidate their narrative that the killing was yet another example of today’s supposedly rampant white supremacist violence.
Tasia Fortune, 29, a mother of four, was found dead behind an abandoned Jackson, Mississippi, house on Aug. 3. The medical examiner later ruled the death a homicide. Police arrested Jarques “Jock” Ratliff, 51 for allegedly committing the crime. He pleaded not guilty and was denied bond.
51-year-old Black man Jarques Ratliff was arrested in connection to the hanging of 29-year-old Black woman Tasia Fortune from a tree in Mississippi.
CNN initially suggested that White racism was to blame for the incident.
