Where is the MSM outrage?

I did read it. You brought the words "fake news" into the conversation through responding to my post. Since I never questioned the story's validity, there was no reason to assume anyone believes it is fake news. Hence your logical fallacy based on what you responded to.

Are you blue smoke?
 
Its because the Democrats control all the MSM.


All of it.



They are so powerful

You hit the nail on the head. It's about time you realized the truth. As has been stated, there was no reason for this story to make the news. It wasn't anti-Trump and it wasn't pro Biden. It would not further the radical left wing agenda that there is systemic racism against blacks.
 
The man was probably mentally ill.
Probably, but it could also have been a side effect of medication for all we know. There are prescription medications that can alter people's reactions to things. Maybe the little boy was riding his bike and making some noise, and with the mind altered state, the neighbor reacted violently. The latest update says investigators are still trying to determine motive.
 
You must be joking. Guns are available every where. When i was in Hawaii, and New York, i had scum bags come up to me and ask me if i wanted to buy a gun. Theres more gun shops in USA than petrol stations. (you yanks call them gas stations) but gas is a different energy you idiots.

Our guns aplenty is not the real harm, it is cowboy culture. The WILD WEST fantasizers. Our legacy of gun worship. And gun revenge, in movies, songs, history.

And the right wingers building arsenals, to stop LIBS, from encroaching on their freedom even a smidge. BOOM blam.
 
Good point, he bit pretty hard on the hook

We need to stick together.


The commies are out to get us. We need to crush them....and then we move on the dentists.
 
Those stories are typically covered more in depth on local news. Shootings, even of children, happen too frequently in our country to bring a lot of national attention. If you want the latest updates, follow the local news in North Carolina: UPDATE: Police have man in custody after 5-year-old fatally shot

LOL. So blacks shooting kids and other blacks happens frequently (every day) but that isn't good enough to make the news while very infrequent happenings of blacks dying at the hands of police proves systemic racism and is therefore headline news. If black lives really mattered the MSM would be detailing all the black on black killings that happen many times per day in many cities across America. But, apparently, black lives DON'T matter, only the systemic racism agenda being pushed by the MSM matters.

Well that is because the MSM is entirely controlled by the Democrats.

So what do you really think about gun ownership in the great USA.
 
Do you expect national news to cover every single murder?

If black lives really matter then the MSM should have stories every day about all of the black on black killings that happen numerous times per day all across the country. But, that is shelved to cover very infrequent happenings of blacks dying at the hands of police. Black lives get sputtered out many times per day every day and yet the MSM have been milking the George Floyd thing for months on end and not covering all the constant and never ending black on black crime.

Unfortunately children being killed in shootings is pretty routine in this country... Here are some stories from the past week... Did you read about any of these in the Washington Examiner?

Link in post #2. Why do only black lives matter?

Noone said only black lives matter. Black lives matter as much as other lives, NOT LESS. You did not tell us whether black murderer was a police officer or whether this was a race motivated crime.
 
That's right. Democrats control all the MSM.



They are powerful indeed

It's not that they actually control it. It's that they are in bed together with the same agenda. The MSM are biased and only report good Democrat, bad Republican. Take gun control issues, just for one example. When does the MSM actually report that if "sensible" gun control legislation would have already been passed, it wouldn't have stopped hardly any mass shooting there has ever been? When does the MSM report the fact that under Trump police on black incidents have actually fallen compared to Obama? Why do they lie and imply that things are getting worse and that there is systemic racism, when in fact these incidents have been decreasing, not increasing? If black lives really matter then why doesn't the MSM report the number of deaths happening every day across America from black on black crime while reporting on the Geroge Floyd incident for months? The MSM is actually worse than the Dems. If anyone controls anyone, it is actually the MSM that controls the Dems.

You are so far right the center looks left to you.


The Democrats did not use tanks and guns to control the media.
 
You google it and provide the link to the evidence that is your burden of proof as the one making the claim. Otherwise, your claim is unfounded and your word is worthless. We can't debate/discuss what isn't there.

The link is in post #2.

I see plenty in MSM about the number of violent deaths that occur within black communities over the weekend, holidays, etc. It may not get the attention it should, but neither do most mass shootings anymore. When things become commonplace, reporting numbers and glossing past the actual incidents occurs due to desensitization.

There are also proponents who believe systemic racism is part of the cause of violence within black communities. The lack of trust in law enforcement within those communities leads to people being unwilling to cooperate with police when witnessing violent crimes, so criminals are not identified and continue to perpetuate violence. The lack of trust also leads to people within those communities trying to police their communities on their own, which also leads to more violence.

Violence within black communities in the southern and midwestern states may also stem from the overall violence that occurs in those states among all races. Part of the cause may be learned behavior. A lot of the issues may also stem from poverty preventing many Black Americans from adopting less aggressive approaches toward social injustices as a result of higher standing within their communities.

So where exactly do their owners hope to make their profits?

Do y'all ever think about anything you post?

What? The MSM makes profits through increased ratings like promoting the very infrequent police on black killings for months on end. They purposely stir up the pot to increase ratings while people die from the pot they stirred up.
