I find it incredible a day later after two police officers were ambushed and killed in separate incidents how little attention has been given by the media about both the story and shooter's background. Actually, I don't .
Because he was a white, anti government scumbag who recently waved the rebel flag in front of african americans at a football game and BRAGGED about it with a selfie. And he had a Trump sign in his yard.
Yet the story became a non story the second it turned out this was not a black man nor a BLM supporter. Just a crazy racist anti government trump supporting white guy. Boring I guess? Our maybe uncomfortable? But it should be a huge story, every bit as much as the Baton Rouge ambush was...
We can only wonder how wall to wall the coverage would have been had it been a black person who did this. Actually, we don't have to wonder. We all know the coverage would have been non stop on all networks with all press conferences live and replayed over and over. His entire background would have been dissected. And it still would be a lead story in the morning. It would have been so bad it would have safely locked up Trump for Iowa.
It is yet another prime example of how our media has failed us. A white guy with racist posts on social media, anti government posts on social media, and a trump sign in his yard ambushes and kills two different cops and somehow this a small story?
Wow my first rec! Wish it could been for a more happier observation than this deplorable one...
