61. Reminds me of the Naval Yard killings when MSM reported...

the weapon was an AR 15. Reading through Google topics, it was AR 15, AR 15, one after another.

Later in the day came the report the weapon was a hoary Remington pump shotgun.

Google topics MSM corrected, MSM corrected, one after another.

When the media is so locked into a Narrative™ it's just too much to let go. But it's still good enough for this forum!
