#2022_FIFAWorldCupQatar
Addendum and here's me thinking that the meme was an obvious parody of flawed logic... i.e. that instead of the more obvious #EpistemologyAmateurExegeteAbduction interpretation being that the prohibition of #LiteralSubstanceAlcohol was the single most important contributing factor, instead supposedly it was the fact that Qatar has been criticised for its legislation around #IdentityLGBTQIA rights and ethical concerns around its employment practices.

Context #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimes "Ashli Babbitt had been preparing for this day, the day when world events would turn her way. When a discouraged friend on Twitter asked last week, 'When do we start winning?' Ms. Babbitt had an answer: 'Jan 6, 2021.' Her name will now be connected to that date, and to shaky footage showing a crowd of rioters smashing glass on the door leading to the Speaker's Lobby of the Capitol. At the front of that crowd is the small figure of Ms. Babbitt, wearing snow boots, jeans, and a Trump flag wrapped around her neck like a cape. 'Go! Go!' she shouts, and then two men hoist her up to the rim of a broken window. As she sticks her head through the frame, a Capitol Police officer in plain clothes fires a shot, and she falls back into the crowd. Blood starts pouring from her mouth." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/us/who-was-ashli-babbitt.html #2020_CapitolSiege #NMUSNBCNews "Video licensed from a self-described civil rights activist shows the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." https://www.nbcnews.com/video/capitol-shooting-that-led-to-ashli-babbitt-s-death-captured-on-video-99180613572

Addendum I wonder how much perspectives such as this are shaped (determined) by strategic efforts to undermine the neutrality of UK media - namely, the #NMUKBBC's mandate to report with impartiality and the limited opportunity for those with money to unduly influence public debate through privately sponsored television (as seems to be the case in the US). I'm thinking here specifically, of Vote Leave CEO, Matthew Elliott's criticism of the BBC here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0xo8uDzi6Y&t=42m02s (42:02 - 43:10) Vote Leave CEO, Matthew Elliott speaking at the US Mackinac Center (5 May 2017) https://www.mackinac.org/23515

Supplementary "Another topic commonly 'associated with minorities and immigrants is crime and violence.' (van Dijk, 2012: 23). Often, crime is talked in conjunction with influx of 'illegal' immigrants, and as a result of this crime reporting becomes 'ethnicized'. An example of this is a Daily Mail article by Jack Doyle and Stephen Wright in 2012[3], of which the title is ''Immigrant crimewave' warning: Foreign nationals were accused of a QUARTER of all crimes in London'. The setup and layout of the headline sets out to demonise the 'foreigners', the sentence is graphically emphasized through employment of capitals to increase tension and build drama. The techniques employed are 'involved in the enactment, expression or inculcation of negative beliefs about immigrants and minorities, and thus contribute to racism.' (van Dijk, 2000: 41). This form of discourse continues throughout: 'A string of horrendous attacks carried out by Eastern European criminals in recent months has raised concerns over the lack of checks on new arrivals.' The word 'horrendous' is used here to emphasise the feelings of terror and shock. The article finishes with a statistic, 'More than 11,000 foreign national offenders are behind bars in England and Wales.' This statistic is obviously going to have a shocking effect on readers, yet they haven't elaborated on what type of crimes they are imprisoned for, which obviously makes a difference. Writing the article in this way indicates hatred towards the foreigners, with almost xenophobic attitudes. The hyperbolic journalistic style employed here alienates the foreigners and therefore creates racist attitudes that get read by the public." https://medium.com/@anyaphillips1/racism-and-the-press-77c8e8180382 van Dijk, T.
