re: Mark Dice: Black man shoots up white church, MSM ignores it

Is your point that the two stories received the same amount of coverage from the MSM?

No. My point is they didn't receive the same coverage, and it's not reasonable to expect them to have even close to the same coverage. The larger a massacre and the more information that is available about the murderer and the massacre itself, themore newsworthy it is. And that's because WE, inherently find it more interesting and focus more on it. The Charleston Shooting should have recieved far more coverage, but if the situations were completely flipped besides the assailant and targets, then the newsworthiness should have been flipped too.

And like I said, our president, maybe moreso with Trump and his use of Twitter, has more influence to direct our attention to issues and stories than anyone. So while Obama focused on the Charleston shootings, Trump did make a single statement or tweet about the Nashville shooting. He did make dozens of tweets about the NFL.

And of course, as usual we've gotten multiple tweets about the fake news MSM, so not only did he not focus so much as a few second to draw attention to the shooting, he continues to try to get people to ignore the MSM who actually did provide numerous stories.

But hey, while we were worrying about the NFL, and cared for more about that than the shooting, let's become outraged because the MSM didn't write enough articles about something we apparently didn't care about. But now we care about it, when it's about the the lack of attention to it, when we gave it far less attention.

Reminds me of the leftist's lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy, who all of a sudden become outraged (like black murder) and care about an issue that they didn't give a bit of attention to before, and it's conveniently when they have a scapegoat to bolster the saliency of their virtue-signaling.
