My point is to put up information gotten from a random Twitter post without even checking the CNN website to confirm it is either lazy, careless, or worse, done to garner clicks knowing it will be taken down later after the initial flurry of clicks dies down.
Col. Allen West got embarrassed by linking to the GP false story.
I've encountered this at GP three or four times in the last few weeks. It's much too frequent. Whatever the reason for it, it needs to get much better in my opinion. It makes us all look bad. Let's be exceptional.
I noticed very early on they tried to paint the narrative the shooter had mental problems starting with the tour in Iraq. However, it came out that he had no PTSD. The girlfriend was alleged to say he was receiving treatment because he had mental problems. This is the narrative they are now using for “radical islam” (radical islam is in quotes because there is no such thing as “radical islame” just as there is no such thing as a moderate mooslime). Whether or not this guy had mental problems the fact is they covered the aspect of his roots of Islime with the mental illness narrative early on in the reporting.
