Tennessee Star editor-in-chief Michael Patrick Leahy unveiled the Nashville Covenant School mass shooter's personal writings earlier this month, but no mainstream news outlets appear to have reported about the revelations, and only one has reported on the subsequent legal battle that Leahy faces for uncovering the documents.
Additionally, while journalists' rights organizations traditionally would have provided counsel to a reporter like Leahy in court, few are willing to comment on the case, and Leahy is being represented by America First Legal and Daniel Horwitz, a Nashville-based attorney who focuses on the First Amendment.
Outlets such as Fox News, CNN, The New York Times, NBC News and Reuters have not published any articles regarding the writings of shooter Audrey Hale, a biological female who identified as a male, since Leahy first reported on the issue earlier this month. The Associated Press briefly reported on the matter, but only in regards to the court hearing that Leahy faced after publishing news articles about Hale's writings.

The Democrats have learned that lower courts will give them what they want. It takes a few years for a case to make it to SCOTUS and by then their goal has been met.
All they have to do is get rid of a few conservative justices and then SCOTUS will not matter at all.
Linky no worky.
Takes you back to FR “Post Article”
“Rather amazing the silence from media outlets”
They’ve been SPIKING stories as long as I can remember. The first time that I really noticed it was in 1992, when the largest protests in the US since the Vietnam War, to this day (at least when measured by arrests made), yet how many Americans know what it is, even back then. I doubt 1% of the country knew.
The only thing that surprises me is that the media continues to use this technique, and even more so, that it still works, very effectively.
One other - Remember Monica Lewinsky - one of the big networks, I think NBC, had the scoop and SPIKED it. Drudge ended up having to break the story...and now they got Drudge, so stories like this are relegated to be Outback of the Internet.
Freedom of the press has been twisted into certain news being blacklisted.
Some powerful forces seem to be keeping a lid on this.
In other words, the truth is a blockbuster.
The cabal’s control over the media is not what it once was; the death of this worldwide crime syndicate is imminent.
What we’re seeing now are the death spasms.
Big brother, where are thou?
Over here, Waldo.
Trannies love to provide violins concertos.
They are mental cases, like most libs.
I want to believe that.
If it is true, it will still take a final push to make the cabal fall over. I am unsure who and what will make that happen. But as a friend once told me, "Nothing happens until somebody does something".
Thrashing claws and teeth of a dying monster are still dangerous. And it is important to stay out of the blast radius of whatever takes it down. Ranged weapons and indirect fire are good to have on our side.
After reading your post, BobL, I’m STILL among the 99% who don’t know about it, lol.
If you want to tell us about an event the news media spiked, then TELL US ABOUT THE EVENT!
Who participated in this massive 1992 protest?
Where did it take place?
What were they protesting?
Be well, FRiend.
“Who participated in this massive 1992 protest?

LOL, at least you admit that the spike worked on you. You likely heard bits of it, but not the fact that hundreds of people were being arrested, daily, for weeks (maybe months).
1. Operation Rescue
2. Wichita Kansas, summer, 1992
3. Abortion, particularly a horrific butcher there
At the time, I was reading daily 5 sentence blurbs on page 18 of the local newspaper saying that, 189 people arrested one day, then 347 people arrested the next day...more people arrested there than on Jan 6th.
That’s interesting.
I never heard of any of it.
More recently, they hid that the Pulse shooter was an Islamic attack for entire year.
They peddled it being an anti homo attack despite hearing the muslim death chant live that night.
They hid it until the audio was released 12 months later.
cut the cable tv
The Free Press dies when it sepresses itself.
Thank you!
We didn’t have FR back then, so it was very hard to be aware. Like most here, probably, I watched network news back then - NOT A PEEP. Just that one small paragraph every day that summer, don’t even know why they bothered with it.
An old time journalist, whose name escapes me now, once observed that “the greatest power of the media is the power to ignore.”. And the media certainly operates on this principle, that “if we don’t cover it, it didn’t happen.”
putting them on busses. I wasnt to much into politics at the time, but I lived in Wichita, and a former friends wife worked at the clinic.
