Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

[Gman]

CNN is reporting it.

Finally? Then they got shamed into it. The boy was laid to rest yesterday. If you watched the video above the different MSM outlets were searched for the story and there were zero results.

Probably not shamed just want to put their own spin on it and check the box of ?unbiased coverage ?.

I'm going to guess both. It took the Washington Post 3 weeks to admit there was a Monica Lewinski story after it had hit even CNN and ABC. The MSM has gotten more blatantly ideological and partisan with every successive year since Clinton beat the first President Bush so they do indeed have to be shamed into covering stories that don't fit the narrative and even then they will attempt to spin it.

And look at the results of this. NYC used to be bumper-to-bumper traffic, honking taxis, shoulder-to-shoulder people, bustling stores, the hub of the world. Now a ghost town of boarded up stores and empty streets and sidewalks.

Edit: after reading some of the comments, this may be a video from a few months ago. But people who live there are saying it's still pretty much the same today.

Due to certain life experiences, there hasn't been anything that shocks me much as of late. This one not only shocked me, but shook me to my core. My heart has been heavy with grief for the family of Cannon. It's events like this which are going to cause a society of otherwise "peaceful people" to literally boil over, dig their heels in and start stacking bodies. It's coming to a head and I pray to God I'm wrong. When it bursts, may God have mercy on us all.

The Cannon thing is trying to be politicized by the right; while it is a tragedy of the highest order it doesn't appear, prima facia, to be what the far right is making it out to be.

The perp was known to the family and hung out at their house frequently, even eating with them the night before and having a beer. I don't have "gods vision" so I don't know the motivations and reasons, but it certainly wasn't a random "killing whitey" thing as it is being portrayed. $20 on mental illness and/or chemical inducement playing large roles in the murder. Nothing about that justifies it, but attaching to the first tragedy that hands can be laid upon merely for political capital is perverse. Granted, progressives have undertaken that strategy, but that's akin to saying if progressives started auctioning kids to raise political money, everybody else has to do it too.

There's a higher road, for f's sake.

The murder may not have been racial, but the media response sure is

Taking the high road always makes me think of the sword-twirling character in Indiana Jones :|

[Gman]

I don't see it being pushed as "random". Some animal executed a 5 year old kid by shooting him in the head, which would normally be newsworthy to the MSM. It's got 'guns killing kids' for cryin' out loud. So...what's different about this situation?

'An unthinkable act'

Killed doing ordinary things

[FoxtArt]

To be fair, there's only a fraction of those cases that truly make national news, most stay "regional". This hasn't really gotten any "less" press than the majority of homicides of a child, and in most every case, the news is a little slow for distribution across the country when that historically does occur. All of those homicides are atrocious. Occasionally, a politicized story is made national, usually a firearm accident with an obvious subtext.

And I just want to check.... are people seriously arguing that a child killed by homicide from a firearm should be page one in the news for weeks on end?

Since the left has hinged a racial flag on certain deaths and politicized them to their own benefit, the right is hypocritically trying to do the same while mocking the former. That's as honorable as a protestant preacher getting a blowjob below the pulpit. If we're preaching about the sins of opposition, we better not be engaging in the same. Trying to plant a flag on this just because the perp is black - that is engaging in the EXACT same racial division and political rape of victims that progressives have been doing.
