The Associated Press was obliterated online for a recent article that attempted to dismiss the illegal immigrant murder suspect in the brutal killing of Laken Hope Riley, and instead tried to blame toxic masculinity for the brutal slaying.

On Saturday, the AP published an article titled: "The killing of a nursing student out for a run highlights the fears of solo female athletes."

The article did not acknowledge that Riley's suspected killer was an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. Instead, the news site described Jose Antonio Ibarra as an "Athens resident."

The writer, Janie Har, referenced the 2018 murder of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts – who was also murdered while jogging. Once again, Har did not mention that Tibbets was murdered by an illegal immigrant.

Instead, Har focused on "the dangers female runners face" and the "hypervigilance women must take when going out, even for a run on campus."

The Associated Press article was torn to shreds by online commentators who bashed the piece as "disgusting" and "putrid propagandizing" for President Joe Biden.

Funny how I don’t have one single murderer in my entire lifetime of associations with masculine men, just great role models, dads, coaches, friends, husbands, leaders…

It wasn't the person, just the horrific idea of masculinity.

It’s a great example of how our media views the world around them.

Everything, and I do mean everything, is downstream and secondary to the political message and is framed accordingly.

News is long dead and has been for awhile.
