There’s a very good reason the media is silent about the Milwaukee mass shooting
American Thinker ^ | February 28, 2020 | Andrea Widburg

The reason for the media’s silence became apparent when the media identified the shooter: 51-year-old Anthony Ferrill was black. This meant that the media couldn’t use its white supremacist narrative to justify grabbing guns.


I was wondering why this story dropped off the liberal news media radar so quickly

All the victims were white.

Continuing and growing pattern.

And he supposedly supported Lizzie Warren for Prez, showing amazing discernment concerning truth.

Yep, all the news that fits our agenda.

That explains a lot.

A racist shooting, a hate crime shooting, and the wrong people did the shooting and were killed.

Silent?

It was all over yesterday and broke into every other news story.

But it is just another mass shooting, hardly as relevant to people as the market in free fall and the country staring at a potential outbreak.

Is that true? The shooter was black and if the victims were white one would think that MSLSD would be calling him “a victim of institutional racism dating back to 1619”?

The only answer is to have all white and all black staffed breweries?

Obviously a little hoppes goes a long way.

The silencer was quite a touch though....indicating premeditation and sanity of purpose. This murderer intended to get away with it.

Kinda reminds me of that story of the black guy that worked for a TV station who shot some of his co-workers to death while they were broadcasting a remote news story. He, too felt belittled by all those white folks.

Not only was he a black racist, all of the victims were white, he was a Union member Democrat, he supported a liberal Democrat for President and probably a former Obama supporter, he espoused the mantra of the race of professional victims, and made false racist accusations against whites. All of these facts make him a piranha for the liberal misleading MSM. He was a Navy veteran and a weapons collector also.

A very good idea. I think you're on to something.

They showed his pic on our local news this morning but never said whether he was a victim or the shooter.

That’s the main reason. Black kills Whites is not the kind of message the media wants to send.

Interestingly, both Bing and Google do NOT change this search string, but produce legitimate results:

“Black kills Whites “

And now we know why Fauxnews.com was hours behind in reporting it on their site.
