Local News Site Crosses The Line Into Racism

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!

This morning, Jan 10, 2024, an article appeared in NewsBreak, “Alamogordo Public Schools Special Meeting Agenda 1-11-2024” from the Alamogordo Conservative Daily/2nd Life Media/KALH “media empire” as claimed by Chris Edwards. The picture that headed his article was a NOOSE! There is absolutely no excuse for this picture except to get CLICKS! Everyone knows this is a symbol of racism and has been investigated by the FBI and other law enforcement entities across the nation many times as a hate crime, with or without context. It carries emotional significance and hurt to our black community members.

Do you remember the incident with NASCAR when Bubba Wallace claimed a noose had appeared hanging on the door of his competition garage? Big major investigation. There are many others.

In an attempt to be relevant and “knowledgeable,” the Alamogordo Conservative Daily continues to publish totally incorrect information regarding what is going on in relation to the APS system. It is speculative at best and “rumor-mongering” at worst. Yes, they have their problems that should be made public, which apparently they are taking great care in revealing to the community at this time.

We believe Chris Edwards and his “media empire” should issue a sincere apology to everyone hurt and offended by writing another article on NewsBreak and anywhere else this article and picture was published, like Facebook, within the same distribution areas. He then should remove the article. ENOUGH! He has disrespected our community by his actions. It was not a “cute” move but one of gravity, lacking wisdom and WRONG by using this emotionally charged image.

This was an unnecessary and hurtful move by the Alamogordo Conservative Daily on Chris Edward’s part. Stop this nonsense now. The community does not appreciate this type of incendiary reporting.

We will not print a screenshot of the article due to its hurtful nature.
