Why is it when a crime is committed by a white skinned person the headlines make sure to point it out so that everybody knows. But when its another race suddenly the media is colorblind?

I dont know. Maybe he was white?

Its when they are not white and are portrayed as such that is an issue.

Now will the media come clean and say what political affiliation he had? I am guessing he is a Dem.

MSNBC is already spouting the gun control issue. "How easy are these type guns to get." "Oh, very easy".

Those are not my words but the exchange between a commentator and her guest.

With a long rifle? Odds are no. Now if he held it sideways while firing, I might have to retract my previous statement.

As soon as I heard of this shooting this morning, I switched to CNN to observe their coverage. Within 10 minutes they were reporting 'a white male opened fire on a group of congressmen . . . .' This would never ever ever be uttered like that if it were a 'black' or 'muslim' shooter. At best they would offer a tidbit at the end of their reportage about the 'shooter being described as a black' - they would NEVER say 'a black male opened fire on . . . "

U.S. politicians are becoming targets of political assassination attempts.

The hate-provoking U.S. media isn't innocent & needs to change.

Some of the questions asked by the MSM are driving me crazy.

Questions like "Did you see anyone get shot?"

What was the shooter doing?

Did you try to hide when the shooting began?

Geez, the presstitutes in the MSM are idiots.

My issue is that it's only when they're white that race is mentioned or -as in the case of George Zimmerman- they make up a race ("white hispanic") in order to point it at white (so they can manufacture racial tension, which sells more papers, gets more viewers, etc).

I don't think they'll have much of a choice with the way this played out. It would have been interesting to see how it played out had DeSantis not been interviewed so early.

Was he a white Latino?

Has any MSM talking head linked him to the tea party?

Shooting deplorable is ok. But I have heard reports that one of the wounded valiant police officers was black. If true, is this now a hate crime?

Why does the tolerant left commit the vast number of violent acts and not those who cling to their religion and guns?!

You know why. They're consistent.

They hate white men.

They hate Christians.

Every story is slanted in service of this hatred.

Remember the killing/s in Canada about a year ago? It was 4 or 5 days before it finally came out that the killer was Muslim.
