One would think this a major news story, a story with, as they say, legs. A madman drives through a Christmas parade, wantonly killing young and old alike. It’s horror on main street, a horrific attack on middle America, on American values. But no. It didn’t fit any social justice narrative. In fact, it obliterated them and threatened to call attention to D/S/C’s deadly pro-criminal policies.
The killer, you see gentle readers, was not a white supremacist, not a racist, not a transphobe or homophobe, not a hater of minor attracted persons. He was not at all sympathetic—to sane people. The killer wasn’t even gay or trans. He was a violent black felon, and the people he murdered were white. The media doesn’t care about them. There were no political points to be made, no one to cancel, no one to hate, no money to be made, no lying to be done in Congress, no blaming guns, none of the essential elements of the preferred narratives. Oh, they could have blamed SUVs—that’s what the killer used to murder—but for some reason, they couldn’t, surprisingly, stoop quite that low.
Please go read it all. This horrific mass murder spree, by an evil man, was swept under the rug by the media. The expression that “if it bleeds it leads” certainly is no longer true. Now, that must be updated, perhaps to something like “All the news that fits the narrative“ or something similar. That is, yes a very harsh indictment on our media, but it is an indictment the media richly deserves.
Our president, you know, the uniter, never visited to speak with support or comfort the families, not once. The victims were, apparently not demographically correct I suppose.
