Why is this mass killing not being covered by the MSM?

Oh...its OK. He was just engaging in Stupid Lefitst Tricks. You know the drill. Any time there is a post that is less than comfortable for leftists they make some sort of snarky foolish attempt to downplay it, invariably followed by other yappy little minions high fiving them, all the while ignoring the fact that there are 4 dead people that are pretty much ignored because they dont fit a narrative. Keep in mind...the people tripping over themselves to shriek NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!! MOVE ALONG!!! are the same people that routinely **** themselves over a tweet or some other ridiculous stupid thing they are cued into.

But its LOCAL and not the national media which is by definition MAINSTREAM, which was the point, and of course you know that but you still cling to your foolish need to try to downplay the fact that the mainstream media is ignoring the mass murder of 4 people.

Sometime it seems like you just go out of your way to make yourself look stupid even KNOWING you are doing it.

This.

4 people were killed in drug, money, personal or gang related violence somewhere in the US every day. That's not the same as a random, or hate based, act of violence against the general public.

That type of crime may not be as newsworthy but claims far more victims than mass shootings do. But that type of crime is also far less likely to employ any scary black rifles - the current favorite target (pun intended) of the "gun control" movement.

You don't see a difference between common murder, property or passion, and a psycho/sociopath murdering numerous random people?

I think a man beating his family to death with a barbell is a news story of national interest.

That you dont see the irony of what you are saying is ****ing mind blowing. That you use that as your excuse for it not receiving national media attention...theres literally nothing more to say.

Black lives TRULY dont matter. You couldnt have said it more clearly if you tried.

Aint that the truth! I should stop engaging such baiting tactics. They just swarm in to derail a thread, not contribute in good faith.

Being reported locally. Of course you know that just as you know the difference between local and mainstream. And yet you continue.

What is funny is that you think the media reports stories on the basis of what matters. Truth is, they report on the basis of what sells.

Why do you hate capitalism?

This past Saturday, a man killed 4 people at one time. Not that you would know that watching MSM. They are ignoring it. Why you might ask, after all 4 people were killed in a home? The coroner’s office identified the victims as 72-year-old Joseph Manigault, 69-year-old Rose Manigault, 42-year-old Kenya Manigault and 15-year-old Faith Manigault.

Evidently, murders by way of blunt trauma don't sell the gun narrative. Had he used a gun it would have been extensively covered by MSM, I don't think anyone would argue against that. It's to bad not one of the victims HAD a gun, to stop this guy.

It appears that a reminder of the topic is in order.
