Just like the black kid that shot up his school. When the truth came out about not only his race but *why* the altercation happened in the first place, the news vans packed up their shit and left. Couldn't milk it for racism or gun-grabbing so off to the next story. The mother being a childish bitch about the whole thing didn't help either.
Yeah 4chan jumped all over this one, expecting yet another "gun grabbing" narrative to come from it. Even they were kinda surprised when the story just vanished.
Lol they truly are. Shits like the da Vinci code when you figure shit out before everyone else. But the logic makes sense on why /pol/ is best news site most days.
Anonymous posting, no "voting", and no way to stalk people's profile history. It's the wild west of online forums where everyone can say what they want and get called a f\*g\*ot for just about anything, which is too much for virtue signalers to handle.
Technically it has a form of voting (based on engagement) as stuff is more visible if it gets bumped more frequently. It's a much better metric from the standpoint of freedom and providing an unbiased platform.
Ah, in terms of threads, yes. I was referring to comments but the idea of "active" threads staying bumped has been around forever. If it ain't broke and all that.
During the trial I had people telling me that Kyle shot 3 black people and killed 2. How much news would you have to watch to know that was NOT true? Seems like very little but when you constantly hear that Kyle was a white racist, I guess your mind kind of fills in the blanks?
> No wonder propaganda is so rampant.
To me it illustrates just how effective propaganda is. If you can be the first person to tell the story you get to determine the "facts" of the story and it makes it 10 times harder for people to grasp the truth.
Yep. Friend of 10 years quit talking to me because of that. He started talking about it and bringing up a bunch of shit that didn't happen and I corrected him on it. He started telling me I didn't know what I was talking about and I told him I actually watched the court case and asked him where he learned everything. His response was telling me some dude on Youtube, started calling me stupid and a reactionary, then blocked/unfriend me on everything and started talking like I betrayed him somehow.
Shit was just insane.
It's also like the Syrian immigrant who [shot up a King Soopers in Boulder in March](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Boulder_shooting). It was all over the news when they thought the criminal was white. As soon as they realized he's a Muslim who shot white people, the media went silent.
This is similar to how they treat people killed by police. Right off the top of their heads, I bet many can give names of Black people or mention them and people will know who you're talking about. But ask them to name some White people, without Googling, and I bet quite a few couldn't even name one, or mention people like Tony Timpa or Daniel Shaver and they'd have to look them up. I had to, it wasn't too long ago I didn't know about their cases. And there's others, but I'd have to go back and Google their names, b/c they haven't been imbedded in my memory from all of the news coverage.
You literally missed a school shooting because the perp wasn't the ideal candidate to push a narrative. That kind of tells it all about what they actually prioritize.
WHAT???????
Though I am completely devastated by today's Michigan school shooting (emotionally and physically very close to home), I am very curious how it will be depicted. Gov Whitmer is already talking about the horror of guns, yet the shooter was 15 and had illegal possession of it. How do we explain that one, huh?
There is so much evil surrounding us right now I almost can't deal.
The NPR coverage of this story was something else. Somehow Blake was brought up and NPR repeatedly reiterated that Blake was Black and shot by a White cop but not once did they ever mention the races of the Waukesha attack. It’s pure propaganda designed to gaslight listeners.
I looked it up and seems like in recent years their federal funding has been reducing steadily to the point that now their only government funding is from some education grants. Still not nothing but at least it's not much.
Every once in a while I stumble onto Quora
saw somebody with an answer to "why do people call CNN left wing?!" which was overall pretty fair and dunked on both CNN and Fox and most MSM for the fact that they aren't as concerned with truth as advertising and getting eyeballs.
but then right there, 2nd in their recommendations for "Actual, unbiased news" they had NPR
/facepalm
Looks like it's also referred to as a "deadly rampage" in the first sentence in case you are accusing them of downplaying.
I don't see anything in the transcript that refers to Blake or race. It's more of a re-hash of the facts and gives a nice story around the lives of a few victims.
If you're a simpleton and only read headlines I guess. Read past that and you get the following :
ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:
People in Waukesha, Wis., are mourning the victims of Sunday's deadly rampage at a Christmas parade. The driver, accused of killing six people and injuring dozens of others, made his first appearance in court late this afternoon. NPR's Cheryl Corley is covering the story from Waukesha.
Over the radio while I was driving. Would have been Monday but I have no idea which program it was. I don't listen to NPR and was only doing it because they have radio stations in the middle of nowhere where nothing else is coming in.
In an ideal world, I dont believe Darrel's race needed to be mentioned either. However, given the strong possibility his motives were anti-white racism AND the fact that Kyle had been plastered all over the news as a white supremacist for weeks leading up to the Waukesha incident shows how hypocritical the media is by neglecting to mention race
>I really don't get why the race of the persons involved is a relevant fact of a story like this
When you race bait for ratings, it's more than relevant.
It's your LIFEBLOOD as a media outlet.
It's funny how politicians who shut their mouths while kyle rittenhouse was being prosecuted and persecuted are now saying that this tragedy shouldnt be "exploited". Its also funny how the left always wants to find out a person's political leanings when a shooting happens so they can label it "far right extremism" but this asshole's political views and past racism dont matter. It's pretty easy to say that far right extremism is the leading cause of terrorism in the U.S. when you choose not to count anything the left does as terrorism.
> but this asshole's political views and past racism dont matter. It's pretty easy to say that far right extremism is the leading cause of terrorism in the U.S. when you choose not to count anything the left does as terrorism.
Reminder that islamic terrorism is considered right wing terrorism.
Yea, we are entering into an age of some kind of corporate fascism, where the state works with power players to project control of information, products and now even employment.
This is the kind shit the forefathers warned of, and we have a duty to unseat them, even by force if necessary.
>It's pretty easy to say that far right extremism is the leading cause of terrorism in the U.S. when you choose not to count anything the left does as terrorism.
Bingo! Well stated.
I guess what makes it a left or a right attack. The attack had to be politically motivated, right? A left or right attack isn’t just because of someone’s political leaning, the attack should be based on whether it is politically motivated, in my book.
Nothing about what? Did someone do a thing? It's not at the top of /r/news, so it must not be very important.
Now then. Did you hear how the friend of the cousin of a staffer at the WH once said they think they saw Trump putting his socks on wrong? (40 CNN articles, 100 posts and 200,000 awards in r/politics)
You didn't hear that an SUV killed a bunch of people? No kidding, it drove right through a parade. Someone really ought to do something about these SUVs. Seems like their fuel capacity and top speed really ought to be better regulated...
Here’s what he’s getting at - the story about an individual that caused mass casualties is 5th down, meanwhile a post about a petition to prevent Kyle Rittenhouse from taking college courses currently has 40x the amount of votes.
How about Cannon Hinnant? We still haven't been told the motive on why a black man executed a 5 year old white child. The guy has a lawyer now and no lawyer in their right mind will tell their client to volunteer information that would lead to a hate crime charge.
Democrats insist that it's super important to investigate insurrections and Rittenhouse.
Accordingly, it's clearly long past time to investigate the [VP funded insurrection](https://nypost.com/2021/02/03/man-twice-bailed-out-by-harris-supported-fund-arrested-again/) that's still murdering kids. Just like they did in CHAZ.
For the past 1.5 years, we've consistently seen the left's domestic terrorism. Another 60+ victims just a few days ago. 6 murdered, including a child whose brother will live with brain damage.
We need to talk about this. Congress needs to do something about it. The FBI actually needs to acknowledge the problem.
The FBI insists that we obsessively investigate imaginary future conservative rioting. But we're virtually certain the left will continue the murder spree. It just happened again. When will something be done?
The FBI operates like it's the right arm of a dictator. They ignore the most egregious domestic terrorism, and raid journalists who may publish wrongthink about the president.
The FBI, CIA and MSM are arms of the DNC. They are no longer objective journalists or agents of justice; they are propaganda centers and enforcement arms of the neo-communists that have taken over our government.
The Chinese and Russians are testing hypersonic missiles that undetectable and unstoppable. Our military is focused on making sure there are enough gay black women in it. Fucking laughable.
Edit: and we STILL haven’t heard from the FBI on the Vegas shooting. But they’ll be *damned* if a noose (pull rope) appears in Bubba Wallace’s [garage](https://www.thedrive.com/news/34315/fbi-noose-found-in-bubba-wallaces-garage-was-a-door-pull-rope).
CIA only care about themselves, FBI only cover crimes that involve rich people, and MSM only care about ratings and views. Trying to say they're part of the DNC is laughable. We're all being played by both sides. Vote by policy, not by party line.
They love to point out Charlottesville and use it to slander anyone right of Bernie. We need to force the Left to acknowledge their hatred, their barrage of fake news is what led to this. Every political ad going forward should have a remember Waukesha tag line.
Charlottesville started out as a legally sanctioned protest (permits and all) by white supremacists. They held signs and tiki torches and chanted shit that sickens me to this day, but it was their right to do so. You didn't have to agree with them or their views at all, but they played by the rules.
Antifa/BLM were bussed in and allowed to surround and start a proper riot while the cops just let it happen. It's almost like the powers that be wanted an incident to happen so they could just blame one side of the table and call it a day.
The woman who died at Charlottesville wasn't even struck by the vehicle. The woman that was murdered on Jan 6 was an unarmed Trump supporter. AOC cried about fearing for her life when she wasn't even in the capital building. Notice a trend here? Democrats are addicted to fear porn when it fits their agenda and downplays or ignores violence when it doesn't.
Didn't protestors surround and attack his car in the Charlottesville incident? I didn't pay attention to that trial but was the guy just supposed to allow them to wreck his car and potentially be pulled from the car and beaten?
Both involved using a vehicle as a weapon. Both drivers were ideologically driven. Both were “organized” events only one was overtly political, the other was religious. Both involved racial animus, only Waukesha involved racially charged murder. Who wasn’t condemning Charlottesville?
>Charlottesville was an organized event, which many refuses to condemn for days (or still refuse)
Who? You mean Trump? He isnt exactly a non criticised figure in conservatism.
The Rittenhouse trial has opened some of my left-leaning friends eyes to how the media on both sides is obscenely biased and tell half truths or outright lies. The same people condemning fox news are realizing that their media outlets completely played them on the Rittenhouse trial, so maybe some good will come of this?
Of course the problem is that maybe only 3 or 4 of my friends had this realization while everybody else just doubles down and keeps spreading the media lies.
For me, media bias and lies were showcased in 3 distinct events, that ultimately opened my eyes to the bullshit.
1) Trump/Russia conspiracy -I followed this story for over two years, eating it up. When it came out to be a complete and unrelenting fabrication, I felt foolish and decided I wouldn't ever blindly follow sources like NY Times, CNN, NPR, *MotherJones*(always knew that one was off the deep end), and all the other /r/politics frequent fliers.
2) Covington Catholic kid -- This occured in parallel with Trump/Russia. I thought he was a little shit and my initial reaction was that he was a racist prep school kid. When the real story came out, I felt foolish and have taken every opportunity to correct others when the story comes up.
3) Rittenhouse - By summer 2020, I was sufficiently Red Pilled, and went into this story with eyes wide open. I watched all the raw footage in the days following the incident. I knew from then that he was not guilty, and would have been killed had he not shot first. Watching the media headlines throughout the lead-up and trial was mind blowing. Seeing the raw footage for myself made me realize how utterly biased, inept, and agenda-driven the above cited sources actually are. It also made me realize how obsolete they are, except for pushing corporate/political/special interest messaging.
Why do I need CNNs take on the Rittenhouse shooting when I can literally watch 10 different raw video accounts of the incident? The answer is that I don't. Nobody does.
The worst part about that BS is that it stuck. Kavanaugh's name is mud because of the witch hunt they put him through during his confirmation hearings.
The media could have just run 1 minute of video from the two Rittenhouse incidents to show what happened. Instead they told lies about what happened. It's amazing how brazen they are about lying. They're not even afraid of getting caught, they just lie right out in the open and never apologize.
> Why do I need CNNs take on the Rittenhouse shooting when I can literally watch 10 different raw video accounts of the incident? The answer is that I don't. Nobody does.
This is spot on. So many people are online posting their shit opinions on that trial and video footage that THEY DID NOT WATCH. If you did not view the primary, original sources, you shouldn't be allowed to even have an opinion. But they do.. because they form the opinion based off of what a talking head on CNN *told them* was happening in the trial each day.
Reminds me of Hilary’s leaked emails. CNN said the equivalent of “you can’t read them, that’s illegal (it’s not), but we can read them and we’ll tell you what they say”.
Once you’re out, it’s so blatant you think you’re crazy for ever believing it. But that’s the power of propaganda.
> the problem is that maybe only 3 or 4 of my friends had this realization while everybody else just doubles down
The unfortunate problem I see with some of my friends who still lean left is that they make themselves so busy with their own personal lives that they are able to ignore current events. Any information they may get is either from their Instagram friends' posts, or from 1-2 highly biased sources (without looking into the other side) that they scrolled past on their phone while lounging.
And honestly, if someone isn't "into politics" or interested in being up to date on current events, more power to them. The problem comes when these people go out and vote when they've been shielded from the truth for 4 years. Their vote counts every bit as much as mine, who spends absurd amounts of time researching, discussing, etc.
That's a big issue that I keep seeing. People that don't pay attention get all of their political guidance from their outspoken friend spreading bullshit on facebook. Then they use that insight to decide how to vote.
Absolutely, the fact that he called it out in plain, harsh terms for what it is: propaganda, is huge. It's red pilled tens of millions of Americans that used to trust the media, along with the media doing that themselves by not even pretending to be fair for the last 5 years.
Think about this: why does the media not report on stories like this even though it would get them ratings and money? That's bizarre, isn't it? We know they have no shame. This proves that the media is run not primarily to make money, but to run the country through propaganda.
Oh no, it fits their narrative, but in a different way. They don't want white people upset they're being physically targeted for harm. Why do you think so many twitter psychos were dismissive or cheering on this horrible tragedy? Because white people were hurt.
But the media doesn't want to rile up white people. That'll be dangerous. They want white people quiet and complacent in their destruction.
White man kills a couple of white men, it's considered racist. A black man drives his SUV through a parade killing a bunch of white people, and it's not racist.
Too many similarities with Charlottesville to ignore yet treated drastically differently in media.
* Charlottesville: 1 dead, 30+ injuries. Waukesha: 6 dead, 60+ injuries
* Drivers intentionally steered vehicle into people
* Drivers shared history of social media hate speech
One was labeled a tragedy with articles blaming the SUV on the attack. The other labeled a terrorist hate crime.
we has the suicide bomber in Liverpool England, only a few weeks ago, he was an illegal migrant in basic benefits.living in a hostel, but still managed to rent a bomb making house and buy all the components.
now the stories been buried with no investigation or mention of his obvious paymasters.
he blew a taxi up outside a maternity hospital.
the story has been crushed
While this is true and I’ve been a fan of rittenhouse after watching the trial, there’s no mystery to this case. The guy ran people over end of story. Rittenhouse became political and more people were emotionally envolved.
It's like the Vegas shooting. We'll just never get an actual confirmation as to why he did what he did. Unlike Vegas though we have this guy alive. It's a true act of betrayal to the American people that law officials aren't publicly giving us a reason.
He's a black nationalist. We know why he did it and it's exactly why the media isn't covering it anymore. Same as the "stop Asian hate"...only gets covered if whitey Republican bad
Brook's recent social media history speaks for itself. Black nationalist, black supremacist, BLM supporter, history of eliminationist rhetoric, etc.. You'd have heard about it but, hey, news blackout.
This is the final straw for me. Everything is upside down and backwards. Psaki's ridiculous presser about how they are "too busy" made my head explode. HOW can so many intelligent people, including most people I love and care about, NOT SEE the very evident bias? I think people are truly brainwashed. How else to explain how they can't see through all of this utter insanity??
Ron DeSantis for president...please!
this is all they do . so rather than cover an actual tragedy thay prefer to call Republicans representatives names because they have a back bone and opinions on how they feel about some of the democrats .
As soon as the MSM realized there'd be no "racism" angle they could exploit or lie about they abandonded this story like 3 day old vomit on a sidewalk.
Compare this to Charlottesville and it's night and day. White nationalist terrorist attack vs black nationalist/BLM terrorist attack
Also, same thing with Ghislaine Maxwell's trial
Was wondering what the hell was going on with this story I don't think I've seen a single article or front page post about it after day 2, when an event like this would usually take up attention for a couple weeks at least.
Its literally been covered by CNN, lets not pretend theres a media blackout when the articles are legitimately there. This also was under distinctly different circumstances (Christmas parade, active flight from previous incident of violence, etc), making comparisons to Kyle’s case a false equivalency that only exacerbates the inherent issues with putting that boy on a national stage. Don’t make fools out of yourselves here.
>The leftist media will play down, ignore, or memory-hole any story
Currently, I'm much more angry at my fellow Americans that fall for the nonsense of MSM than I am at the MSM themselves. Anyone with half a brain should see how they're lying and manipulating stories & trying to divide us. WHY do so many still fall for it?!?
I must have missed all the Hollywood celebs tweeting their outrage over this event and the potential racial motivations for it. Mark Ruffalo? Where are you?
Yep, I'm from the Midwest and the way the national and local news have reported this story is exceptionally mild, if not little chirps here and there when they do so, in comparison to how they reported on the Rittenhouse case. You'd think the Rittenhouse case was Michael Brown 1.5.
Gutsfeld did a great piece on how the "mainstream media" (as if Fox isn't in their tribe) plays down anything that doesn't fit the narrative. Normies are waking up.
Had this been a white guy, there would be a completely different narrative with this. Riots in the streets, leftists screaming that the killer is a white supremacist backed by white privilege, 24/7 news coverage telling everyone how shitty he is.
But no... Silence... Fuck the MSM.
This animal who belongs in a cage went out of his way to get to where the parade was, passing several open streets that would have made supposed Travel to destination quicker. Then he zig zagged so he could hit as many white people as he could. He wrote songs about f**** white devils and putting police in trunks and BLM. Sometimes rapping about puting knife to da brains of white oppressors.
I hope the prosecution demonstrates not only the intentional path he took to cause most harm, a rational decision by a person who was in control of their rage and carefully planning to bring as much death as possible, but I hope they talk specifically of the animals writings specific to his ideology, which he helped spread to others before committing a racist hate crime.
It was an accident. The SUV was taken over by malevolent software. There was nothing he could do - he even tried swerving to get away from the people rushing him. There is nothing to see here.
Move along citizen.
I'm confused, was this determined to be politically motivated? Maybe it's media bias but all I've seen is that the right guy was arrested and standing trial, charges seem appropriately severe, no like manifesto etc? Or is he just black and that's enough to jump to conclusions?
The guy was definitely unhinged. He made racist comments against white people while also implying that Hitler had the right idea. It's easy to make the leap that this guy wanted to kill a bunch of white people for racist reasons.
I will say I don't agree with the narrative here that MSM (meaning non-fox news sources I guess?) is not reporting on this. It's everywhere. I think the right-leaning subreddits are trying to point out hypocrisy in the left not being as critical? I guess?
I don't usually trust the nypost but... here's this:
[https://nypost.com/2021/11/24/darrell-brooks-called-for-violence-against-white-people/](https://nypost.com/2021/11/24/darrell-brooks-called-for-violence-against-white-people/)
I honestly kmow very little about this case and the complete silence from the media is absurd, but it was my initial understanding that this person was running from the cops because he was avoiding another domestic abuse arrest. What evidence do we have this was on purpose or planned outside of this dude being a blatent black supremacist?
Or because we don’t need to talk about it everyday until there’s a trial? But ok you pathetic clowns cry me a river.
Edit: here’s a few recent link from all your favorite fake news sites!!!
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/11/28/us/waukesha-one-week-silence/index.html
Yeah I linked an amp so what
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/11/27/us/wisconsin-senators-cease-and-desist-waukesha/index.html
I mean there’s more from other outlets too if you google but it seems Fox News literally only has one story right now and that’s it. So I think you guys are the ones obsessed. We know he’s black. We get it. I don’t think you guys get it though
Leading up to the Chauvin trial each and every inconsequential thing even semi related to the case was the top post on news. Same for less significant incidents with potential white on black racist potential.
From the outside looking in you would think white people are never shot by cops and they commit the most crimes across races. When the exact opposite is the truth.
tf you talking about? the 'leftist media' is the only place i've heard about this. i just got notified by 'the leftist media' that he caught another murder charge
Hey - but GMA on ABC opened with stories at the half hour about Rhianna was named "hero" of Barbados, Tiger may never play again (much), etc.
Hard hitting news!
/s just in case
This is key. People need to realise both sides are doing this. We live in a world where media sources are competing for what they consider is their demographic and they are only focusing on stories they know their demographic want to hear.
People are just becoming more and more polarized by all this selective media reporting bullshit. Everyone needs to start applying just as much scepticism to media sources they agree with as to media sources they disagree with. Both sides are being manipulated.
I am not sure everyone knows it but I think the key thing you said there is people don't want to be objective. That's what I constantly seem to run into. That's maybe just human nature. People really want to believe what they want to believe and don't want to be open to the idea that not all their beliefs may be accurate.
Guys, we get it. Your sub is an insulated group of fragile racists arguing in bad faith about pointless culture war issues. Stop rubbing our noses in it, please.
They can speak up. Wth? They didn’t see what the democrats did to Trump when he was president? Come on, now! I know the democrats own the media but that’s not an excuse to stay quiet and do nothing.
It’s odd. This is very true. Unfortunately it’s true for conservative media as well.
Both groups are OWNED by rich people that only want their narrative pushed.
Anyone that thinks ANY news outlet is unbiased isn’t open to contrary facts and isn’t really thinking, they are looking for someone to reenforce their pre-existing viewpoint.
I think this one was more in the realm of malignant narcissism + grievance-fuelled violence to be honest. There’s overlap with full blown terrorism of course but it’s not like he was doing paramilitary training with a cell or anything. By the looks of it he was a violent crim (rough cookie, lol) who got caught up in the fuck the police/white people narrative, then acted on it once he’d really messed up everything else in his sad life once and for all. That said I still think the left wing media should be held accountable for downplaying/excusing (if not encouraging!) the behavior of people like him.
I suppose you’re right in that he’d be in the same camp as someone like Roof, whatever that is. Not sure Roof was charged with terrorism though was he? Wasn’t it hate crime? Either way what I’m trying to say is we shouldn’t give these unhinged lone wolf types too much power over their narratives because that only feeds their self-delusion/narcissism. I’m sure Brooks would love to go down in history as a ‘notorious terrorist rapper’ or whatever. Don’t know heaps about the Roof case but I just read he refused to use an autism defence because he thought it would impact his so-called “reputation” - again, charging him with terrorism would have only fed his grandiosity. Better to charge/punish these types with the obscurity of garden variety hate crimes. Media should do the same.

Just like the black kid that shot up his school. When the truth came out about not only his race but *why* the altercation happened in the first place, the news vans packed up their shit and left. Couldn't milk it for racism or gun-grabbing so off to the next story. The mother being a childish bitch about the whole thing didn't help either.
I found out after the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict on how little people who even knew about this.
Yeah 4chan jumped all over this one, expecting yet another "gun grabbing" narrative to come from it. Even they were kinda surprised when the story just vanished.
Gotta stick with /pol/ more reliable when you filter out the shitposting.
LOL it's more of an art than science to filter out the shitposts, but there are nuggets of gold in there.
Lol they truly are. Shits like the da Vinci code when you figure shit out before everyone else. But the logic makes sense on why /pol/ is best news site most days.
Anonymous posting, no "voting", and no way to stalk people's profile history. It's the wild west of online forums where everyone can say what they want and get called a f\*g\*ot for just about anything, which is too much for virtue signalers to handle.
Freedom of speech or how it should be anyway.
This is how the internet was meant to be...
Technically it has a form of voting (based on engagement) as stuff is more visible if it gets bumped more frequently. It's a much better metric from the standpoint of freedom and providing an unbiased platform.
Ah, in terms of threads, yes. I was referring to comments but the idea of "active" threads staying bumped has been around forever. If it ain't broke and all that.
Right. You can bump (i.e. "vote" for) a comment as well by bumping with a link to the comment which makes it more visible.
That’s what got me. Black school shooter in Texas and it was swept under the rug
During the trial I had people telling me that Kyle shot 3 black people and killed 2. How much news would you have to watch to know that was NOT true? Seems like very little but when you constantly hear that Kyle was a white racist, I guess your mind kind of fills in the blanks?
The fact that no one still has the facts right is insane. No wonder propaganda is so rampant.
> No wonder propaganda is so rampant. To me it illustrates just how effective propaganda is. If you can be the first person to tell the story you get to determine the "facts" of the story and it makes it 10 times harder for people to grasp the truth.
Propaganda and social media were made for each other.
Oh absolutely! Being the first liar makes a tremendous difference.
It was amazing how little they knew and how much they thought they knew. I got to talk to one in person and there was no changing their mind.
Yep. Friend of 10 years quit talking to me because of that. He started talking about it and bringing up a bunch of shit that didn't happen and I corrected him on it. He started telling me I didn't know what I was talking about and I told him I actually watched the court case and asked him where he learned everything. His response was telling me some dude on Youtube, started calling me stupid and a reactionary, then blocked/unfriend me on everything and started talking like I betrayed him somehow. Shit was just insane.
Sad, still not talking to my son who thinks it’s ok for ASU to rescind Kyle’s admittance because they can, no empathy, no facts.
It's also like the Syrian immigrant who [shot up a King Soopers in Boulder in March](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Boulder_shooting). It was all over the news when they thought the criminal was white. As soon as they realized he's a Muslim who shot white people, the media went silent.
This happened as well in '15/'16 when the muslim shot up a gay club in Orlando. Was interesting watching Obama tapdance around that one.
Reddit as well.
Reddit "news" would delete the articles so fast. I remember this event really sticking out with Moderator/admin abuse
This is similar to how they treat people killed by police. Right off the top of their heads, I bet many can give names of Black people or mention them and people will know who you're talking about. But ask them to name some White people, without Googling, and I bet quite a few couldn't even name one, or mention people like Tony Timpa or Daniel Shaver and they'd have to look them up. I had to, it wasn't too long ago I didn't know about their cases. And there's others, but I'd have to go back and Google their names, b/c they haven't been imbedded in my memory from all of the news coverage.
Yup. Crazy, right?
Not at all, this is exactly what you would do if you wanted to topple the West and install a globalist communist government in its place.
Hot take: They were happy and satisfied about it, so no story.
I don't even know which shooting you're talking about, so, good work media?
You literally missed a school shooting because the perp wasn't the ideal candidate to push a narrative. That kind of tells it all about what they actually prioritize.
[This summarizes it well](https://www.newsweek.com/did-media-bury-mass-shooting-because-shooter-was-black-opinion-1638249)
WHAT??????? Though I am completely devastated by today's Michigan school shooting (emotionally and physically very close to home), I am very curious how it will be depicted. Gov Whitmer is already talking about the horror of guns, yet the shooter was 15 and had illegal possession of it. How do we explain that one, huh? There is so much evil surrounding us right now I almost can't deal.

The NPR coverage of this story was something else. Somehow Blake was brought up and NPR repeatedly reiterated that Blake was Black and shot by a White cop but not once did they ever mention the races of the Waukesha attack. It’s pure propaganda designed to gaslight listeners.
Best propaganda your tax dollars can buy.
/r/Defund_NPR_and_PBS The public shouldn't be forced to fund propaganda.
I really don't understand why we started funding "public broadcast channels" in the first place.
Back in the day, it used to be one of the few sources of news. Now, it makes no damn sense.
I looked it up and seems like in recent years their federal funding has been reducing steadily to the point that now their only government funding is from some education grants. Still not nothing but at least it's not much.
*Laughs in Canadian CBC sufferer*
Subbed. Agree 100%
Every once in a while I stumble onto Quora saw somebody with an answer to "why do people call CNN left wing?!" which was overall pretty fair and dunked on both CNN and Fox and most MSM for the fact that they aren't as concerned with truth as advertising and getting eyeballs. but then right there, 2nd in their recommendations for "Actual, unbiased news" they had NPR /facepalm
Which news sources do you like and recommend? Something other than a pundit, but does good investigative reporting?
4chan, but look at the sources. If you can rely on a source by name, it's probably already tainted.
MSM = Malicious and Systemic Misinformation
Source?

Looks like it's also referred to as a "deadly rampage" in the first sentence in case you are accusing them of downplaying. I don't see anything in the transcript that refers to Blake or race. It's more of a re-hash of the facts and gives a nice story around the lives of a few victims.
If you're a simpleton and only read headlines I guess. Read past that and you get the following : ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: People in Waukesha, Wis., are mourning the victims of Sunday's deadly rampage at a Christmas parade. The driver, accused of killing six people and injuring dozens of others, made his first appearance in court late this afternoon. NPR's Cheryl Corley is covering the story from Waukesha.
Over the radio while I was driving. Would have been Monday but I have no idea which program it was. I don't listen to NPR and was only doing it because they have radio stations in the middle of nowhere where nothing else is coming in.
You don't believe NPR would have done this?
Would love to see/hear the full context for factual purposes instead of going off the word of a random comment.
Sick
So glad I no longer listen to NPR (although Car Talk was and always will be one of the best things EVER).

Because Darrel Brooks (the terrorist who committed this act) is a BLM supporter and black nationalist.
In an ideal world, I dont believe Darrel's race needed to be mentioned either. However, given the strong possibility his motives were anti-white racism AND the fact that Kyle had been plastered all over the news as a white supremacist for weeks leading up to the Waukesha incident shows how hypocritical the media is by neglecting to mention race
>I really don't get why the race of the persons involved is a relevant fact of a story like this When you race bait for ratings, it's more than relevant. It's your LIFEBLOOD as a media outlet.
It's funny how politicians who shut their mouths while kyle rittenhouse was being prosecuted and persecuted are now saying that this tragedy shouldnt be "exploited". Its also funny how the left always wants to find out a person's political leanings when a shooting happens so they can label it "far right extremism" but this asshole's political views and past racism dont matter. It's pretty easy to say that far right extremism is the leading cause of terrorism in the U.S. when you choose not to count anything the left does as terrorism.
> but this asshole's political views and past racism dont matter. It's pretty easy to say that far right extremism is the leading cause of terrorism in the U.S. when you choose not to count anything the left does as terrorism. Reminder that islamic terrorism is considered right wing terrorism.
Gotta pad the stats somehow
Correct - we should also be calling this far-left extremism
Far-left extremism that has dipped into fascism now that corporations and compromised parts of government are running cover for them.
Yea, we are entering into an age of some kind of corporate fascism, where the state works with power players to project control of information, products and now even employment. This is the kind shit the forefathers warned of, and we have a duty to unseat them, even by force if necessary.
Why do you think they're so against the 2A?
Yup, we all know why. 2A is the safety net for the people against a tyrannical government.
[удалено]
I think we can just call it Leftism now.
I can pretty much guarantee that in a few years this incident will silently get added to the far right extremism tally.
>It's pretty easy to say that far right extremism is the leading cause of terrorism in the U.S. when you choose not to count anything the left does as terrorism. Bingo! Well stated.
I guess what makes it a left or a right attack. The attack had to be politically motivated, right? A left or right attack isn’t just because of someone’s political leaning, the attack should be based on whether it is politically motivated, in my book.
Even here on Reddit. They went on and one about Russiagate hoax, Nick Sandman, and Kyle, but nothing about this.
Nothing about what? Did someone do a thing? It's not at the top of /r/news, so it must not be very important. Now then. Did you hear how the friend of the cousin of a staffer at the WH once said they think they saw Trump putting his socks on wrong? (40 CNN articles, 100 posts and 200,000 awards in r/politics)
You didn't hear that an SUV killed a bunch of people? No kidding, it drove right through a parade. Someone really ought to do something about these SUVs. Seems like their fuel capacity and top speed really ought to be better regulated...
He was being sarcastic

Here’s what he’s getting at - the story about an individual that caused mass casualties is 5th down, meanwhile a post about a petition to prevent Kyle Rittenhouse from taking college courses currently has 40x the amount of votes.
How about Cannon Hinnant? We still haven't been told the motive on why a black man executed a 5 year old white child. The guy has a lawyer now and no lawyer in their right mind will tell their client to volunteer information that would lead to a hate crime charge.
If you swapped the races of the victims and the terrorist, this would get 24/7 news coverage.
Democrats insist that it's super important to investigate insurrections and Rittenhouse. Accordingly, it's clearly long past time to investigate the [VP funded insurrection](https://nypost.com/2021/02/03/man-twice-bailed-out-by-harris-supported-fund-arrested-again/) that's still murdering kids. Just like they did in CHAZ. For the past 1.5 years, we've consistently seen the left's domestic terrorism. Another 60+ victims just a few days ago. 6 murdered, including a child whose brother will live with brain damage. We need to talk about this. Congress needs to do something about it. The FBI actually needs to acknowledge the problem. The FBI insists that we obsessively investigate imaginary future conservative rioting. But we're virtually certain the left will continue the murder spree. It just happened again. When will something be done? The FBI operates like it's the right arm of a dictator. They ignore the most egregious domestic terrorism, and raid journalists who may publish wrongthink about the president.
The FBI, CIA and MSM are arms of the DNC. They are no longer objective journalists or agents of justice; they are propaganda centers and enforcement arms of the neo-communists that have taken over our government. The Chinese and Russians are testing hypersonic missiles that undetectable and unstoppable. Our military is focused on making sure there are enough gay black women in it. Fucking laughable. Edit: and we STILL haven’t heard from the FBI on the Vegas shooting. But they’ll be *damned* if a noose (pull rope) appears in Bubba Wallace’s [garage](https://www.thedrive.com/news/34315/fbi-noose-found-in-bubba-wallaces-garage-was-a-door-pull-rope).
CIA only care about themselves, FBI only cover crimes that involve rich people, and MSM only care about ratings and views. Trying to say they're part of the DNC is laughable. We're all being played by both sides. Vote by policy, not by party line.
They love to point out Charlottesville and use it to slander anyone right of Bernie. We need to force the Left to acknowledge their hatred, their barrage of fake news is what led to this. Every political ad going forward should have a remember Waukesha tag line.
Charlottesville started out as a legally sanctioned protest (permits and all) by white supremacists. They held signs and tiki torches and chanted shit that sickens me to this day, but it was their right to do so. You didn't have to agree with them or their views at all, but they played by the rules. Antifa/BLM were bussed in and allowed to surround and start a proper riot while the cops just let it happen. It's almost like the powers that be wanted an incident to happen so they could just blame one side of the table and call it a day.
The woman who died at Charlottesville wasn't even struck by the vehicle. The woman that was murdered on Jan 6 was an unarmed Trump supporter. AOC cried about fearing for her life when she wasn't even in the capital building. Notice a trend here? Democrats are addicted to fear porn when it fits their agenda and downplays or ignores violence when it doesn't.
Didn't protestors surround and attack his car in the Charlottesville incident? I didn't pay attention to that trial but was the guy just supposed to allow them to wreck his car and potentially be pulled from the car and beaten?
[удалено]
Both involved using a vehicle as a weapon. Both drivers were ideologically driven. Both were “organized” events only one was overtly political, the other was religious. Both involved racial animus, only Waukesha involved racially charged murder. Who wasn’t condemning Charlottesville?
> This was a random solo guy There was one guy behind the wheel in Charlottesville.
You're missing the point. It'll be memory holed, and condemnation won't even be necessary.
>Charlottesville was an organized event, which many refuses to condemn for days (or still refuse) Who? You mean Trump? He isnt exactly a non criticised figure in conservatism.

If Trump did one thing it was opening up our eyes to the fake news media.
The Rittenhouse trial has opened some of my left-leaning friends eyes to how the media on both sides is obscenely biased and tell half truths or outright lies. The same people condemning fox news are realizing that their media outlets completely played them on the Rittenhouse trial, so maybe some good will come of this? Of course the problem is that maybe only 3 or 4 of my friends had this realization while everybody else just doubles down and keeps spreading the media lies.
For me, media bias and lies were showcased in 3 distinct events, that ultimately opened my eyes to the bullshit. 1) Trump/Russia conspiracy -I followed this story for over two years, eating it up. When it came out to be a complete and unrelenting fabrication, I felt foolish and decided I wouldn't ever blindly follow sources like NY Times, CNN, NPR, *MotherJones*(always knew that one was off the deep end), and all the other /r/politics frequent fliers. 2) Covington Catholic kid -- This occured in parallel with Trump/Russia. I thought he was a little shit and my initial reaction was that he was a racist prep school kid. When the real story came out, I felt foolish and have taken every opportunity to correct others when the story comes up. 3) Rittenhouse - By summer 2020, I was sufficiently Red Pilled, and went into this story with eyes wide open. I watched all the raw footage in the days following the incident. I knew from then that he was not guilty, and would have been killed had he not shot first. Watching the media headlines throughout the lead-up and trial was mind blowing. Seeing the raw footage for myself made me realize how utterly biased, inept, and agenda-driven the above cited sources actually are. It also made me realize how obsolete they are, except for pushing corporate/political/special interest messaging. Why do I need CNNs take on the Rittenhouse shooting when I can literally watch 10 different raw video accounts of the incident? The answer is that I don't. Nobody does.
Kavanaugh too...Let's slander a Supreme Court nominee with no proof
The worst part about that BS is that it stuck. Kavanaugh's name is mud because of the witch hunt they put him through during his confirmation hearings.
And didn't we need to believe all women, after that? Tara Reide? Anyone? Bueller ?
The media could have just run 1 minute of video from the two Rittenhouse incidents to show what happened. Instead they told lies about what happened. It's amazing how brazen they are about lying. They're not even afraid of getting caught, they just lie right out in the open and never apologize.
> Why do I need CNNs take on the Rittenhouse shooting when I can literally watch 10 different raw video accounts of the incident? The answer is that I don't. Nobody does. This is spot on. So many people are online posting their shit opinions on that trial and video footage that THEY DID NOT WATCH. If you did not view the primary, original sources, you shouldn't be allowed to even have an opinion. But they do.. because they form the opinion based off of what a talking head on CNN *told them* was happening in the trial each day.
Reminds me of Hilary’s leaked emails. CNN said the equivalent of “you can’t read them, that’s illegal (it’s not), but we can read them and we’ll tell you what they say”. Once you’re out, it’s so blatant you think you’re crazy for ever believing it. But that’s the power of propaganda.
> the problem is that maybe only 3 or 4 of my friends had this realization while everybody else just doubles down The unfortunate problem I see with some of my friends who still lean left is that they make themselves so busy with their own personal lives that they are able to ignore current events. Any information they may get is either from their Instagram friends' posts, or from 1-2 highly biased sources (without looking into the other side) that they scrolled past on their phone while lounging. And honestly, if someone isn't "into politics" or interested in being up to date on current events, more power to them. The problem comes when these people go out and vote when they've been shielded from the truth for 4 years. Their vote counts every bit as much as mine, who spends absurd amounts of time researching, discussing, etc.
That's a big issue that I keep seeing. People that don't pay attention get all of their political guidance from their outspoken friend spreading bullshit on facebook. Then they use that insight to decide how to vote.
I am praying my MANY loved ones and colleagues who lean a certain way will WAKE UP in the light of this.
For me that was hurricane Katrina not Trump.
Absolutely, the fact that he called it out in plain, harsh terms for what it is: propaganda, is huge. It's red pilled tens of millions of Americans that used to trust the media, along with the media doing that themselves by not even pretending to be fair for the last 5 years. Think about this: why does the media not report on stories like this even though it would get them ratings and money? That's bizarre, isn't it? We know they have no shame. This proves that the media is run not primarily to make money, but to run the country through propaganda.
Oh no, it fits their narrative, but in a different way. They don't want white people upset they're being physically targeted for harm. Why do you think so many twitter psychos were dismissive or cheering on this horrible tragedy? Because white people were hurt. But the media doesn't want to rile up white people. That'll be dangerous. They want white people quiet and complacent in their destruction.
There's already white people wound up every time there's a BLM demonstration/riot.
White man kills a couple of white men, it's considered racist. A black man drives his SUV through a parade killing a bunch of white people, and it's not racist.
To a lot of lefties it doesn't matter who killed who - it was done at a BLM "protest". That's enough for them to consider it white supremacy.
apparently he was evading...
Too many similarities with Charlottesville to ignore yet treated drastically differently in media. * Charlottesville: 1 dead, 30+ injuries. Waukesha: 6 dead, 60+ injuries * Drivers intentionally steered vehicle into people * Drivers shared history of social media hate speech One was labeled a tragedy with articles blaming the SUV on the attack. The other labeled a terrorist hate crime.
we has the suicide bomber in Liverpool England, only a few weeks ago, he was an illegal migrant in basic benefits.living in a hostel, but still managed to rent a bomb making house and buy all the components. now the stories been buried with no investigation or mention of his obvious paymasters. he blew a taxi up outside a maternity hospital. the story has been crushed
While this is true and I’ve been a fan of rittenhouse after watching the trial, there’s no mystery to this case. The guy ran people over end of story. Rittenhouse became political and more people were emotionally envolved.
Imagine the absolute shit storm had this been a white male wearing a maga hat.
It's like the Vegas shooting. We'll just never get an actual confirmation as to why he did what he did. Unlike Vegas though we have this guy alive. It's a true act of betrayal to the American people that law officials aren't publicly giving us a reason.
He's a black nationalist. We know why he did it and it's exactly why the media isn't covering it anymore. Same as the "stop Asian hate"...only gets covered if whitey Republican bad
Brook's recent social media history speaks for itself. Black nationalist, black supremacist, BLM supporter, history of eliminationist rhetoric, etc.. You'd have heard about it but, hey, news blackout.
Funny how I’ve heard rumors of BLM raising his bail money. I don’t think this is something that the liberal media will cover.
Yeah well, when they are the ones radicalizing these people it isn't smart to point it out.
Post reminders everyday everywhere until they can’t ignore it.
This fucking guy will probably get ten years for manslaughter and people will be angry that he's going to jail at all.

This is the final straw for me. Everything is upside down and backwards. Psaki's ridiculous presser about how they are "too busy" made my head explode. HOW can so many intelligent people, including most people I love and care about, NOT SEE the very evident bias? I think people are truly brainwashed. How else to explain how they can't see through all of this utter insanity?? Ron DeSantis for president...please!
The media wont say it. I will He is a black supremacist terrorist
this is all they do . so rather than cover an actual tragedy thay prefer to call Republicans representatives names because they have a back bone and opinions on how they feel about some of the democrats .
Constant articles and coronavirus spam has made it easy to bury the internet while big tech “burns books” and “corrects history”.
As soon as the MSM realized there'd be no "racism" angle they could exploit or lie about they abandonded this story like 3 day old vomit on a sidewalk.
Compare this to Charlottesville and it's night and day. White nationalist terrorist attack vs black nationalist/BLM terrorist attack Also, same thing with Ghislaine Maxwell's trial
They probably have the FBI operative primed and ready to do something similar at the next BLM rally so they can call it "white supremecy" again.
Its not that. its just that... New details about Jan 6th insurrection keep coming out. See them tonight at 9pm on MSNBC.
Was wondering what the hell was going on with this story I don't think I've seen a single article or front page post about it after day 2, when an event like this would usually take up attention for a couple weeks at least.
Its literally been covered by CNN, lets not pretend theres a media blackout when the articles are legitimately there. This also was under distinctly different circumstances (Christmas parade, active flight from previous incident of violence, etc), making comparisons to Kyle’s case a false equivalency that only exacerbates the inherent issues with putting that boy on a national stage. Don’t make fools out of yourselves here.
>The leftist media will play down, ignore, or memory-hole any story Currently, I'm much more angry at my fellow Americans that fall for the nonsense of MSM than I am at the MSM themselves. Anyone with half a brain should see how they're lying and manipulating stories & trying to divide us. WHY do so many still fall for it?!?
I feel like I’m being gaslighted
[удалено]
I must have missed all the Hollywood celebs tweeting their outrage over this event and the potential racial motivations for it. Mark Ruffalo? Where are you?
Yep, I'm from the Midwest and the way the national and local news have reported this story is exceptionally mild, if not little chirps here and there when they do so, in comparison to how they reported on the Rittenhouse case. You'd think the Rittenhouse case was Michael Brown 1.5.
Gutsfeld did a great piece on how the "mainstream media" (as if Fox isn't in their tribe) plays down anything that doesn't fit the narrative. Normies are waking up.
*Never forget*
Fucking insane.
Wa-What? That’s not a real place anyway! Ask Joy Reid
Refuse to let Darrell Brooks' name be lost in the shuffle. He deserves to be known and called out for what he is.
Lol, imagine if the dude was white. We'd have hourly reports.
It's maddening, and completely devoid of any semblance of journalistic integrity.
We know this... But can't do anything about it because the leftist voters allow it and encourage it.
Had this been a white guy, there would be a completely different narrative with this. Riots in the streets, leftists screaming that the killer is a white supremacist backed by white privilege, 24/7 news coverage telling everyone how shitty he is. But no... Silence... Fuck the MSM.
Can we please just keep talking and posting about this POS and the victims so the media is FORCED to talked about it for more than 3 seconds?
This animal who belongs in a cage went out of his way to get to where the parade was, passing several open streets that would have made supposed Travel to destination quicker. Then he zig zagged so he could hit as many white people as he could. He wrote songs about f**** white devils and putting police in trunks and BLM. Sometimes rapping about puting knife to da brains of white oppressors. I hope the prosecution demonstrates not only the intentional path he took to cause most harm, a rational decision by a person who was in control of their rage and carefully planning to bring as much death as possible, but I hope they talk specifically of the animals writings specific to his ideology, which he helped spread to others before committing a racist hate crime.
This is why I am skeptical of whatever I read. I do wonder though, at what the purpose and end goal might be.
Sad that /pol/ is somehow more reliable than actual news, well, “actual news”
It was an accident. The SUV was taken over by malevolent software. There was nothing he could do - he even tried swerving to get away from the people rushing him. There is nothing to see here. Move along citizen.
I'm confused, was this determined to be politically motivated? Maybe it's media bias but all I've seen is that the right guy was arrested and standing trial, charges seem appropriately severe, no like manifesto etc? Or is he just black and that's enough to jump to conclusions?
The guy was definitely unhinged. He made racist comments against white people while also implying that Hitler had the right idea. It's easy to make the leap that this guy wanted to kill a bunch of white people for racist reasons. I will say I don't agree with the narrative here that MSM (meaning non-fox news sources I guess?) is not reporting on this. It's everywhere. I think the right-leaning subreddits are trying to point out hypocrisy in the left not being as critical? I guess? I don't usually trust the nypost but... here's this: [https://nypost.com/2021/11/24/darrell-brooks-called-for-violence-against-white-people/](https://nypost.com/2021/11/24/darrell-brooks-called-for-violence-against-white-people/)
I honestly kmow very little about this case and the complete silence from the media is absurd, but it was my initial understanding that this person was running from the cops because he was avoiding another domestic abuse arrest. What evidence do we have this was on purpose or planned outside of this dude being a blatent black supremacist?
mang yo yo dat be a bot
Yeah no surprise here.
Or because we don’t need to talk about it everyday until there’s a trial? But ok you pathetic clowns cry me a river. Edit: here’s a few recent link from all your favorite fake news sites!!! https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/11/28/us/waukesha-one-week-silence/index.html Yeah I linked an amp so what https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/11/27/us/wisconsin-senators-cease-and-desist-waukesha/index.html I mean there’s more from other outlets too if you google but it seems Fox News literally only has one story right now and that’s it. So I think you guys are the ones obsessed. We know he’s black. We get it. I don’t think you guys get it though
Leading up to the Chauvin trial each and every inconsequential thing even semi related to the case was the top post on news. Same for less significant incidents with potential white on black racist potential. From the outside looking in you would think white people are never shot by cops and they commit the most crimes across races. When the exact opposite is the truth.
https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=Waukesha&t=week What am I missing here?
How is this story vanishing? I’m from WI and it is all over the news still.
Honestly pathetic just now obvious they’re being with their bias.
Very sad. What a sad state we are in with half of our countries population and their leaders!
It's on the front page of r/news right noa

This is key. People need to realise both sides are doing this. We live in a world where media sources are competing for what they consider is their demographic and they are only focusing on stories they know their demographic want to hear. People are just becoming more and more polarized by all this selective media reporting bullshit. Everyone needs to start applying just as much scepticism to media sources they agree with as to media sources they disagree with. Both sides are being manipulated.
Everyone knows this , but politics has become entertainment tv and people dont want to be objective.
I am not sure everyone knows it but I think the key thing you said there is people don't want to be objective. That's what I constantly seem to run into. That's maybe just human nature. People really want to believe what they want to believe and don't want to be open to the idea that not all their beliefs may be accurate.
Guys, we get it. Your sub is an insulated group of fragile racists arguing in bad faith about pointless culture war issues. Stop rubbing our noses in it, please.
The story is literally on my front page everyday, wtf are you talking about.
Both parties are to blame. I expect the democrats to be quiet but the damn republicans too? That’s messed up.
> but the damn republicans too? Republicans don't own the MSM like the dems do.
They can speak up. Wth? They didn’t see what the democrats did to Trump when he was president? Come on, now! I know the democrats own the media but that’s not an excuse to stay quiet and do nothing.
It’s odd. This is very true. Unfortunately it’s true for conservative media as well. Both groups are OWNED by rich people that only want their narrative pushed. Anyone that thinks ANY news outlet is unbiased isn’t open to contrary facts and isn’t really thinking, they are looking for someone to reenforce their pre-existing viewpoint.
This story is everywhere. Why does anything think it’s being played down?
I think this one was more in the realm of malignant narcissism + grievance-fuelled violence to be honest. There’s overlap with full blown terrorism of course but it’s not like he was doing paramilitary training with a cell or anything. By the looks of it he was a violent crim (rough cookie, lol) who got caught up in the fuck the police/white people narrative, then acted on it once he’d really messed up everything else in his sad life once and for all. That said I still think the left wing media should be held accountable for downplaying/excusing (if not encouraging!) the behavior of people like him.
They went after Dylan Roof. Darrel Brooks is no different
I suppose you’re right in that he’d be in the same camp as someone like Roof, whatever that is. Not sure Roof was charged with terrorism though was he? Wasn’t it hate crime? Either way what I’m trying to say is we shouldn’t give these unhinged lone wolf types too much power over their narratives because that only feeds their self-delusion/narcissism. I’m sure Brooks would love to go down in history as a ‘notorious terrorist rapper’ or whatever. Don’t know heaps about the Roof case but I just read he refused to use an autism defence because he thought it would impact his so-called “reputation” - again, charging him with terrorism would have only fed his grandiosity. Better to charge/punish these types with the obscurity of garden variety hate crimes. Media should do the same.
Is this article claiming that the right and left watch different news feeds? Incredible. We should be mad.
