According to news reports, last week a man recently entered NFL headquarters in New York City and killed a New York police officer and three civilians in cold blood … before taking his own life.
The man, Shane Tamura, 27, left behind a suicide note in which he blamed the NFL for an allegedly football-related brain injury — despite the fact that he had not played football since high school. The note stated, “Please study brain for CTE. I’m sorry. The league knowingly concealed the dangers to our brains to maximize profits. They failed us.”
Of course, the media did what the media does, and blamed gun culture and football (toxic masculinity!) for the deadly attack. The media was as off-target as Tamura, who took an elevator to an unrelated office over from NFL headquarters when he perpetrated his crime.
In a truly egregious act of rank speculation (and hope), CNN reporter Erin Burnett posited, on air, that the perpetrator was “possibly white.”
Double check those sources. Nail the facts down before commenting.
No bias here, only solid and ethical ‘journalism’ for the mainstream media, right? Ready. Fire! Aim.
“Possibly white?”
If you don’t know the facts, the perp could’ve “possibly” been black, green, Hindu, trans, Pisces … or identified as a mollusk. But the photos showed that he definitely wasn't white.
What the hell?!
It is quite apparent that Burnett wanted the murderer to be white, in the same way that some in the media get visibly aroused when Democrats get elected or bad things happen to conservatives. (See also: Chris Matthews says Obama speech gave him a “thrill up his leg.”)
Frankly, I’m surprised Burnett didn’t also say -- before knowing anything -- that the gunman was, “Likely a toxically masculine, heterosexual Christian who probably watches Fox News and Newsmax. And who almost certainly likes J.K. Rowling and has a ‘My Pillow.’”
Is it just me, or does it appear that there many instances of grievous brain damage amongst members of the mainstream media? Or is it just cowardice, a craven unwillingness to deviate from the Deep State’s agenda?
In either case, we need to tackle this problem head-on. No helmets or pads, and no excuses.
