Iowa cop killings

[Proud liberal 80]

Guess the MSM and conservatives don't think this story is a big deal now because the suspect was a racist white guy

2. Yes it is in the news

But not the over the top like it would have been.

5. I'm hearing it even on local radio.

It's been covered on every news source I check.

11. I would imagine the OP is referring to

The over the top wall to wall coverage that we would be seeing if this were a Muslim. My God, Trump would be going crazy with it, as would the entire right wing industrial complex, and the MSM would follow right along.

3. What exactly are you basing this on? It's the top story on the Faux News homepage, the most...

conservative media outlet of all.

I know it's common to assume the worst of the media here, but there's no reason for us to flat out lie just to score some political points.

6. My FB feed is silent

It's usually filled with pro cop,anti BLM posts when police officers are killed. I'm pretty sure they only care when the suspect is black not when it's a white trump supporter.

7. And right next to the story on the front page is this piece of shit

8. I will be honest

I didn't check Fox, I can't stand going there. but I did check CNN, MSNBC and ABC. Plus twitter and FaceBook.

However, I will admit I did jump to conclusions

[MadDAsHell]

9. Fair enough. It's on the homepage of each site you just listed, though.

Maybe you were there at the wrong time. Sorry I jumped to conclusions too...

12. Your conclusion were/are correct

Of course it's being "reported" on the news sites, it'll get a link. And sure the cable networks are mentioned it a few times this morning for a few minutes, but that's it.

If this was a Muslim who shouted "Allah is great!" the right would be going biserk, trump would be all over it, and MSM would follow. It would be wall to wall coverage.

There's a reason the vast majority of Americans have no clue about the number of right wing terrorist attacks every year, or how our intelligence agencies view right wing terrorism a bigger domestic threat than Islamic terrorism.

Because the shit is largely ignored, intentionally.
