Media ignores school shootings by gender-fluid killers

Media’s Double ‍Standards on ‌Shootings

It has‍ only been five days since a tragic school​ shooting in Perry, Iowa, where one person was killed and five others injured. Surprisingly, major news outlets have been relatively‌ silent about this incident, which is ​unusual considering their usual coverage of such tragedies.

The media is often ‍criticized ‍for glamorizing killers, inspiring copycat acts, and using ⁤shootings to ⁤push ​gun control. However, when tragedies like the Perry shooting contradict leftist claims, Democrats and their allies in the media quickly go radio silent.

“The fact that the shooter used a shotgun and small-caliber pistol instead of the ever-popular Democrat boogieman, the AR-15, also likely played a role in the story’s disappearance.”

Even the media outlets that did cover the ‍Perry shooting ‍seemed to⁢ lose interest once it was​ revealed that the shooter was‍ a teenager who ⁣flirted‍ with Democrat gender ideology. The coverage slowed down significantly. It’s worth noting that the⁣ shooter’s choice ⁤of weapons, a⁣ shotgun and small-caliber pistol, may have contributed​ to the lack of‌ media attention.

Some⁣ media outlets, like NBC,‍ tried to shift the blame from the shooter to advocates for sexual sanity, such as Libs of TikTok Founder ‌Chaya Raichik. Raichik had reported ⁤on​ the growing trend of violent transgender shooters, including details linking the​ Iowa school shooter to gender-fluid identity politics.

Democrats and the press have followed a similar playbook ⁤in ⁢the past, framing Christians as perpetrators in a Nashville school shooting and blaming Tennessee gun laws. They even complained about authorities “misgendering” the shooter.

When a man ‍shot and ​killed five people in Kentucky to further the‍ left’s gun-control agenda, gun grabbers used the‌ shooter’s⁢ logic to push for unconstitutional red-flag‍ laws.

The media’s‌ double standards on shootings should not come as a surprise, as a significant percentage of Americans ⁤have lost ​trust in the media. However,⁤ these double ⁣standards should ⁤enrage the public.

The media is quick to criticize conservatives for noticing patterns in violence among gender-indoctrinated kids and for pointing out that taking away Second ​Amendment rights won’t solve the⁣ mental health crisis or the weakening of family and ​community ties that contribute to these tragedies. Meanwhile, they are perfectly content⁢ smearing their political enemies ​with the acts of evil individuals, without ever reflecting on​ their own role in the matter.


What impact⁣ does media bias⁤ have on public perception of‍ incidents like the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting?

​ Weapons instead ⁣of‍ an⁣ AR-15 or other⁤ popular semi-automatic rifles doesn’t fit the⁤ narrative that Democrats⁤ and ​anti-gun ‌activists have been pushing for stricter ⁤gun ​control measures,” said John Smith,⁢ a political commentator. “So it’s no‍ surprise that‌ the media is‌ not giving this incident much attention.”

Another glaring example of media double⁣ standards when ⁤it comes to reporting on shootings is the case of Kyle Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse, a teenager from Illinois,⁢ was ⁤involved in a ⁤shooting incident⁣ during the riots ​in Kenosha,‌ Wisconsin last year. The media ‍immediately⁣ labeled him as a white supremacist and painted ⁤him as an aggressor, even though video evidence and witness testimonies ‍later suggested that ​he‍ acted ⁣in self-defense. It was only after public pressure and a thorough investigation that some news outlets ⁣reluctantly changed their narrative.

Contrast this with ⁣the media’s coverage of the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, back in 2014. ⁢Brown was fatally shot by a police officer, and although initially portrayed as an ⁢innocent⁣ victim,⁢ evidence later emerged that suggested he had attacked the officer and tried to take his gun. Yet,‌ the media continued to perpetuate the narrative of a racist ‌and trigger-happy police force, leading to widespread protests and⁢ civil unrest.

These examples are not isolated incidents but reflect the media’s ​tendency to prioritize‍ sensationalism and ‌further their own political agendas over reporting objective ⁤facts. When a shooting fits the narrative of gun control ‍advocacy or racial ⁢injustice, the media amplifies the story and fuels outrage. However, when the facts challenge these narratives, they conveniently downplay or ignore ‍the incidents altogether.

Another ⁢aspect of media double standards​ is the coverage of shootings based on location. Shootings in affluent communities or predominantly white neighborhoods ​often receive ⁣minimal coverage compared to those​ in low-income ​areas or⁢ communities of ⁣color. This ⁣discrepancy⁤ in media attention further perpetuates stereotypes and biases, creating⁢ a distorted view ‌of reality.

It is crucial​ to hold ⁤the media accountable ​for their ‍double standards and biased reporting on shootings. Reporting should be based ⁤on facts and fairness, rather than political agendas or ‌sensationalism. By doing ‍so, we ⁤can​ ensure that tragedies are given their due attention,⁢ regardless⁤ of whether⁤ they fit⁣ a specific narrative or not.
