USA Today Pitched “Anti-Asian Hate” Angle to Mass Shooting Long After They Knew Shooter Was Asian Himself
USA Today Reports state that 10 people were killed in the shooting at Monterey Park, Calif. “revived the fears and trauma” This is “anti-Asian hate” Los Angeles Asian community
Two small problems remain in the story. The Vietnamese killer was responsible for the murder, and USA Today It knew before the story was published.
72-year-old Huu Can Tran’s murderous spree began in Monterey Park late Saturday night at the Chinese-owned Star Ballroom Dance Studio, continued at the Lai Lai Ballroom in Alhambra shortly afterward, and ended midday on Sunday with Tran’s suicide.
Tran’s face had been plastered everywhere as the suspect hours before a SWAT team had surrounded his white van and discovered his dead body around 1 p.m. on Sunday. Nevertheless, USA Today I went with the “fears and trauma” This is “anti-Asian hate” Story hours after Tran was ID’d by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department As the suspect.
“The incident,” Reporters Jordan Mendoza, Marc Ramirez and Orlando Mayorquin wrote inexplicably. “has revived the fears and trauma brought on by a wave of hate incidents and tragedies that have struck the community over the last few years.”
You can’t blame the reporters for going with what scared victims experienced in the moment, but hours after the shooter had been positively identified as Asian, you can certainly blame the editors for continuing to frame the story with a demonstrably false narrative.
Then it gets worse. This is the third paragraph.
“Even if we cannot be sure an attack was racial in intent, it nonetheless can be racial in effect,” Frank Wu, president of Queens College City University of New York said this before the attacker could be identified.
We don’t know what Wu might have said after the attacker was identified, because USA Today didn’t bother to find out or, if they did, didn’t bother to report it.

Everything must be attributed to racism or anti-whatever “phobia.” Even when there’s no racism or phobia to be found. It’s better for The Cause to stir up fear, hate, and division than to honestly report the news.
According to MSN story Tran began to operate on Monday mornings. “often complained” To a friend, he mentioned that his former dance teachers at Star Ballroom Dance Studio had told him. “evil things” More about him.
It’s my unprofessional, but experienced, opinion that Tran was either holding a grudge, off his rocker, or both. Neither explanation — supported by the facts, by the way — carries even a whiff of racism.
Most murders, I don’t hesitate to remind you, occur within race groups, not outside of them.
In a related item, PJ Media’s own Gwendolyn Sims overheard L.A.’s NBC 4 describe the shooter’s weapon as an “assault pistol.”

With a press this mendacious, there’s no need for kidding — they generate plenty of bitter laughs just doing what they do.
