Crime? Homelessness? Drug Use? These are NOT newsworthy subjects for ABC/NBC/PBS/CBS/EIEIO! San Francisco's drug, homeless crises exposed by citizen journalists | Fox News
The human misery and squalor on the streets of San Francisco has fed up residents taking to Twitter, posting grim and graphic images that spotlight problems they say are only getting worse.
"It's my city, my home. I love it. And to see it destroyed like this is just devastating," says Erica Sandberg, who calls herself an "SF War Correspondent" on her Twitter page.
Armed with her cell phone and a sense of purpose, she chronicles the decay and drug use along San Francisco's famed Market Street, just steps from the city-run Tenderloin Center that claims to address these very problems.
The usual suspects are having kittens. "She is shaming the homeless." "She is mean." "Reeeee!" Whatever.
But, according to Sandberg, "The most ethical thing you can do is to shine a light on the actual situation. To turn your back and to say it's not happening, or I'm not going to take a picture of this, videos of this, I'm not going to share it … What that does, it hides it. It pushes everything under the rug. And then they don't get what they need. So it's wrong. It's wrong *not* to show it."
The "establishment" media won't do their job, not if it makes Democrats/Progressives uneasy (Unbiased media? What color is the sky on your world?) so people are taking up the slack.
Just Leftism doing what it always does, destroying everything
