CNN's lightweight "media critic," Brian Stelter, of course, accused those of us who are paying attention and amplifying the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska (say her name) of racist intent. Never mind that the murderer yelled, "I got the white girl," after he left her to bleed to death from his repeated stabbing. The black passengers did nothing to stop him or help save her. Let's chat about racist intent, shall we, Brian? Your insight into how the media is focused on the deplorables who dare to amplify the event is spot on. As a former newspaper editor, this would have been on the front page of my daily newspaper in Oklahoma.

What an excellent article—absolutely correct, of course, and forcefully written.

Most good-hearted Americans are just SO damn reluctant to assign blame, or criticize bad people harshly. They'll reluctantly allow as to "some of" the media "probably" being "somewhat biased"… and how that's probably not a good thing…

…But they just can't bring themselves to say "Media outlets like—or most prominently represented by—the New York Times are not 'a little biased'—they're shamelessly, maliciously dishonest in how they present, or ignore, news. And they've done unimaginable damage to our society, and to states like Israel, about which their overall Lefty agenda is amplified by an added layer of Lefty antisemitism. These people—the bulk of the Lefty media—may have convinced themselves they mean well, but tha'ts irrelevant—they support, enable, whitewash, defend & promote pure evil in so many forms, every day, on almost every page.
