Why the Media Suddenly Lost Interest in the Latest School Shooting
The American Thinker ^ | May 13, 2019 | Brian C. Joondeph

Posted on 05/13/2019 5:42:52 AM PDT by xzins

School shootings are terrible events -- except for the left where they represent opportunities, as in Rahm Emanuel’s “Never let a crisis go to waste”

...

After the shooting, other than some virtue signaling by the media, the story has left the front pages, as the narrative may be inconvenient for the leftist agenda. CNN and MSNBC have lived up to their reputation as “drive-by media” by quickly moving on. ...

Speaking of violent behavior, the father of one of the shooters is a twice deported illegal from Mexico, jailed previously for domestic violence against the shooter’s mother. Illegals are revered by the Democrat Party and any connection between an illegal and the shooting will be dutifully ignored by most of the media.

Lastly one of the Colorado shooters was transgender, a female transitioning into a male. I’m sure there is a specific gender identity term for such a person, but I am not woke enough to know what that term is. Suffice it to say, a female becoming a male will be taking testosterone. There is scientific evidence of association between higher testosterone levels and aggressive or violent behavior.

In the mainstream media, transgenders are the highest form of human evolution. It would be most inconvenient to raise even the possibility of an association between gender transitioning and recent school shooting, so don’t expect Meet the Press or Face the Nation to discuss any of this.

It would have been so much more convenient for Morning Joe or Jake Tapper if the Colorado school shooters were cis-gendered, white, Christian males, members of the NRA, wearing MAGA hats while brandishing AR-15s. But since that wasn’t the case, don’t expect the media to linger on this shooting. Instead they will focus on Trump’s real estate tax losses from 30 years ago.

What they don’t cover is as important as what they turn into fake news.

Bias by omission, less blatant for of bias. Did they report that the treasury is raking in money because of the tax cuts?? Nope.

Nope. Had someone try to correct me on that the other day. I said we were taking in more, and they cited some at least year old report. I followed up with the latest report.

There’s more to it than even that. When a couple of scumbag politicians tried to use their dead classmate as a mere prop to push their gun grabbing agenda at a memorial service, the students got up an walked out!

What could be a more stinging rebuke or a more clear demonstration of what cynical scumbags Gun Grabbers are than to ghoulishly try to hijack a memorial service - while the body is still warm - to push their disgusting politics?

The investigation found that mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder, as well as recent crises and problems at school were major factors in the suicides.

Those are common diagnosis that ultimately result in psychotropic drugs that doctors, at many parents' requests, prescribe..........

Your kid has ADD, here take this. Your kid has ADHD, here take this.......etc.

The common theme in the reporting of all the shootings committed by these kids is the refusal to report whether or not they are on these drugs........

And here's another thing that baffles me. It's one thing for one person to be crazy enough to commit this type of crime, but where do they find an accomplice who is just as crazy?

13 Reasons Why. It wouldn’t surprise me if some of those kids started fantasizing about the effects their suicide would have.

I saw one episode just after it was released Thought it was a truly twisted show and pictured teen suicides would follow.

Just like the “youths” attacking random people on big-city streets, radio silence is all we can expect.

Thinking the same thing. Though I could not watch any episodes, I heard from my teenage granddaughter and her friends how mangled the story line is.

The author makes a damning case. In brief, it’s wrong kind of guns, wrong kind of perps, one being a radical Dem and the other a transgender, wrong kind of environment in that the kids refused to let it be politicized, and wrong associations in that one parent was an illegal alien. It didn’t fit the narrative, so it couldn’t be exploited, so it didn’t happen.
