I don't normally post but here is a try. I am sure I will be helped by many freepers if I did it wrong. Just proof that the MSM does not print news if it does not fit their agenda.

Those shootings don’t matter, it’s black people shooting other black people.

Chicago already has gun control and no “white terrorists” involved.

Racial shootings? How is this weekly massacre any different than those in El Paso and Dayton? They are not.

Those gory stats happen every weekend in Chicago, but outside of their media market no one talks about it. It doesn’t fit their narrative of white nationalists shooting people!

It is an every week occurrence so it’s not news and it doesn’t help advance the agenda.

They do happen every weekend in Chicago, but the news chick explicitly refers to 2 of the incidents as “mass shootings”. I assume they fit the accepted criteria for “mass”.

Good post.

Chi-Congo is Obama country. What happens there is always whitewashed. And I don’t mean that in a racist way.

If they weren’t WHITE people pulling the trigger, it’s not a useful tragedy for the Dems and the media.

What about the gun ban in Chicago?

I guess the media is afraid to go there because they might get shot.

Just proof that the MSM does not print news if it does not fit their agenda.

Libs are throwing around the "fact" that there have been 250 mass shootings this year. By their definition, there were 6 this weekend. They only want to talk about two of them.

Mass shootings on 3-4 August:


1 in El Paso;
1 in Dayton;
1 in Memphis;
1 in NYC (Brooklyn);
2 in Chicago.

I am surprised there was only one mass shooting in Dayton this weekend. I am about 20 miles from there and it isn’t far behind Chicgo. Another liberal $hithole.

I moved from Dayton in 1998. I was surprised to read that the Oregon District was “one of the safest places in the city”. I doubt that is true.
