The press hit the lowest of lows (if that wasn’t already surpassed) when they asserted President Trump was responsible for the mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso. They capitalized on the bigoted, anti-immigrant beliefs held by the El Paso shooter to do so, while evading the leftist ideology of the Dayton killer. On Fox News Tuesday, The Five exposed the stories the liberal media concealed over the weekend in order to further their leftist agenda.
Co-host Greg Gutfeld took aim at the blatant bias revealed by story selection in the press, including their refusal to cover Chicago gun violence and facts pertaining to the Dayton and El Paso shootings that don’t fit their narrative:
So today, The Boston Globe's headline is; "The hypocrite in chief takes on domestic terror." Now, even if Trump were a hypocrite, he'd be doing more to take on domestic terror than The Boston Globe or any of its siblings in New York, San Francisco or L.A. You want proof, read the papers. The Globe is talking about the El Paso story because it's a horrible mass public shooting, but also the shooter fits the media's desired profile. But just when a reporter or politician points his finger at evil Trump, another event comes along to upset the narrative. Dayton is the other event. It gets less exposure, maybe because the fiend is a leftist.

To paraphrase some brilliant FReeper the other day - “When the government wants to take your guns, it’s not because of what you can do with it, but what they can do without it.”
If you and I saw it or read it, that makes two. We had nothing similar in the Reagan years.
Don’t despair. “The Five” is seen by a lot of people. It’s sad, but Trump needs to use his bully pulpit to fill in the aspects of the stories the media won’t report.
Haven’t seen anything about the hispanic gang member’s stabbing spree in Kali either. Nothing to advance the narrative there.
