Imagine if the suspect arrested today in connection with making phone threats to Jewish community centers around the nation had been a big Donald Trump supporter. Do any of you have any doubt at all that the fact of his support for Trump would have been in the first paragraph of all the mainstream media reports of his arrest? In fact, it would probably have appeared in the very first sentence.
Well, Juan Thompson was arrested today as a suspect in the JCC phone threats but not only did his political leanings not appear in the first paragraph of the ABC News online story, it didn't appear anywhere. Why? Could it have been because Thompson was revealed as a leftist Bernie Sanders supporter who tweeted his hatred of Trump?
The first five paragraphs of the story of over 25 paragraphs had to do with the suspect and the rest of the story seemed to serve as padding for you to just forget about that suspect and his very inconvenient politics. Here are those first five paragraphs about the suspect carefully cleansed of any politics:

I am sensing great disappointment in other MSM reports on this story. It didn't fit the narrative of what they expected.

Hello darkskinned leftist friend,
I see your dumb face start to trend...
You did something to Jews this week...
Liberals so mad they "can't even" speak!
So they blamed it on the Orange Man...
But it was THEIR side again!
Now cue the sound...
Of silence...
Hey everybody look at me!
I went down to the JCC
I held a sign that read Love "trumps" hate
Mom saw me on tv-I looked great!
But now will the media stand tall?
And report THIS at all?
I expect more sounds...
Of silence.

The narrative died on this story as soon as the perp’s face was shown for the world to see..it didnt fit the Communist Media’s narrative, therefore its no longer a story

Juan might be a triple winner for the left wing. A La Raza first name!
Another son of Obama, liar and probably a BLMER!
He is another lying journalist, who apparently hates Jews.

The narrative died on this story as soon as the perp’s face was shown for the world to see.
Reminds me of an incident in NYC around 25 years ago. Badlands, a notorious gay bar in the West Village a block from where the Village People did their YMCA video, was shot up. About a dozen people were sent to the hospital, miraculously all survived. The press went apesh!t,,especially when it came out the suspect was the son of a preacher man. Soon after in the news cycle it came out that his father wasn't just any preacher but AN NYPD CHAPLAIN, driving the press even more wild. UNTIL the suspect's mug shot was put on the front pages of the Daily News and NY Post. Wouldn't ya know it it was a Black guy, show's over nothing to see here.
