My wife likes to watch Lester Holt and the NBC Nightly News as well Savanah Guthrie and the NBC morning show and all they’ve had on is discussion about this shooting. I don’t sit there and watch this stuff with her so I can’t speak to what their discussions on the air are about but I know it’s on. In fact I asked her at one point “is this all they are going to talk about?” My thinking being you continually give these kids publicity and it just inspires the next round of shooters[/QUOTE]
Which I agree with. If it were done by the media for every fucked in the head shooter. We all know that is not the case.
If you’re going to apply the term equally—yup.
Arguably a hate crime. But they’d never go there with that.
denounced 'all these Christians ...hmmm
denounced 'all these Muslims, Blacks
Now that would have been huge
I'm proud of all our JPP lib'ruls who took a step forward and condemned this instance of atheist terrorism.....
Christians were not targeted.
I actually agree with that since there’s an obvious copycat element to it.
Imagine if it were done by kids in MAGA hats—it would still be a big story.
The tragedy is still a big story.
They were still talking about it this morning on NBC. The issue with the school shootings to them is the guns. They’re not going to stop talking about gun restrictions because in this case the shooters were liberals.
But you’re right, if the shooter is deemed to be on the political right they will go after them more along with the guns.
The media is also covering the tragedy as McKinney was bullied because he is transgender. The suspects' politics are irrelevant. Christians were not targeted.
I don't think the perps fit the left's narrative.
McKinney was bullied because he is transgender.
My point has more to do with media bias.
Granted, I consume a lot more media online than I do cable news so maybe they talk about it more than I realize.
Maybe leftist scum like you should teach your kids right from wrong. Our parents did and we never shot up schools.
The tragedy has nothing to do with politics.
I don’t watch cable news but the Today Show and NBC Nightly News I think would qualify as “Mainstream Media” and they were definitely covering it. (Over covering it IMO.)
I assume by over-covering you mean undeserving coverage. In that case it is impossible to over-cover a tragedy.
There is no evidence pronouns were the parents'
main concern.
Is there a ‘right’ to be referred to as a specific gender—regardless, of whether others recognize it lol?
That’s actually a serious question, as hard as it is to believe. Makes one wonder what kind of questions will be taken seriously ten years from now.
Yes there is.
Once a society opens the floodgate to insanity, there is no stopping it.
Transgender is not insane.
The point was more to do with the media reaction than the shooting itself.
A kid in a MAGA hat created a weeks-long media uproar just for smiling/smirking at a loon beating a drum in his face. It would have mattered greatly if the perps in the CO shooting weren’t trans gendered.
And I’m pretty sure we all know this.
McKinney's gender is irrelevant except for the fact he was bullied because he is transgender and that is why he carried out the shooting.
I lack the wherewithal to gender anyone lol.
What if it’s a form of delusion?
Transgender is not a delusion.
Depends. If you're a douchebag, you use the pronouns you want, sometimes purposely to annoy the person. If you're a well-adjusted person, you accept that the trans person has a medical condition, and use the pronouns they want.
Transgender is not a medical condition.
