Media Censoring This Homegrown Muslim Terrorist Attack

Post by VMI77 »

In the last few weeks, two monsters have been arrested in Kansas City; and the media will make certain you don’t hear much about either one of them. First, there was the KKK Democrat who shot people because he thought they were Jews. He was so Democrat that he even ran for Congress as one. He was a Grand Dragon of the Klu Klux Klan. The media wanted him to be an NRA Republican because they hold an unshakable belief that it was Republicans who ran the plantations in the South, and the Democrats went to war to free Black Americans. They are that stupid. Now they are both stupid and disappointed.

The second arrest–that must have had newsrooms gushing in delight–was one that ended a series of “random” shootings of people along the town’s freeways. Oh how they must have longed for the shooter to be a TEA Party movement leader, or at least a registered Republican. Alas, they must have realized that was a dead end when the suspect turned out to be an African American named Pedro Whitaker, who now goes by “Mohammed” Whitaker. “Can’t a Lefty catch a break?” they must have moaned in the hearts of the media’s fabrication centers.

Does it make the basic premise of this article null and void if both of those incidents have been covered well in the media, both local and national?

When you compare the narrow scope of coverage applied to Whitaker compared to the continuous media bashing in the 24-hour news cycle applied to Zimmerman in Florida, I'd say the OP and the original article are both right on target with the 'basic premise'.

Let's try it on for a moment:
  • Mohammed Pedro Whitaker has been identified as the alleged Kansas City highway shooter and has been charged with 18 felonies from 9 separate incidents (random vehicle shootings) around the city metro region.
    A simple Google search identifies perhaps a handful (at best) of major news sources.
  • George Zimmerman defended his own life from attack (this is the conclusion of his trial, not just my own conclusion), and was tried and convicted in the court of public opinion before he was able to exonerate himself through the legal system.
Now I'm not running around here painting Zimmerman as an alter boy or anything, but you cannot say that Whitaker was 'covered well' for his alleged 18 felonies in 9 separate incidents when compared to Zimmerman's one incident that made him a national pariah before he ever saw the courtroom.
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

Exactly. The media isn't completely stupid in pursuit of their agenda. They devote a couple of articles and five minutes of air time to an incident that doesn't serve their narrative, and run 24/7 coverage for months on anything inflammatory that does.
