I presume you mean a "left" media blackout? Please explain to me how a supposed left media blackout would be "racist support of Putin." I don't get it.

Not a word on all the gun death in schools just since Aurora 100's of victims, and the police just broke up a plan by a TWELVE year old with over twenty firearms, including "ghost guns", 3D printed firearms and plenty of ammo - including clips with shooter mottoes stuck on them. Not a word beyond labeling them frauds.
The ones who cry about these mentally ill attackers the loudest are those who advocate not at all for mental health treatment or sanctions. They have been known to advocate for the 2nd amendment "rights" for the mentally ill.

In this particular case, I have zero issue with federal involvement.

(3,391 posts)This scum shouldn't have been breathing, to say nothing of being out on the streets.
He should fry.
Judges need to keep people like this locked the fuck away.

(156 posts)and for at least a day, a national story, was only on local stations across the country. CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, NYT all silent even though they were seeing the same thing everyone else was seeing, and that became the story. What was it that the major mainstream news sources were seeing that couldn't be spoken of?
The story is much safer now. Blame red or blue politician according to one's tribe. Money allocated for this or that the reason. NYT harkened back 120 years to I forget what, CNN pondered the murderer.
