Racial Media Bias in Roanoke Killings

What in hell are talking about? There is nothing in this story about race. NOTHING!

Pete:

"The race hustlers hyped that incident, and we had to pull down the Confederate flag,"

On the right, the rest of the media is accused of soft-pedaling Flanagan's explicit intent to start a "race war" by killing two white people.

"The Wednesday morning murders of 24-year-old Roanoke TV reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were a racist atrocity, a hate crime,"

That, say conservatives, fed into the grievance-fueled worldview that seemed to define Flanagan, an incompetent reporter who accused networks and colleagues of racial bias when he was sidelined or let go.

I know there was one killer, who is the other one?
 
So the hard right seems more outraged by the coverage than the actual crime itself. What Dylan Roof did was horrible. What Flanagan did was horrible. It's the crimes that outrage me, not the coverage.
