Whatever Fits The Narrative

The first thing that’s obvious is we’re not talking about one of those “white right-wing nationalists” we’re constantly being warned are the greatest threat we face. If the killer had been one, and if he had social media posts brimming with sentiments that allow “progressives” to dismiss anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders as a Nazi, it would be headline news. It certainly would not have taken this long to release who he was, and odds are good some of his more egregious posts would have survived, at least in screenshot form. As it is, the victims are being blamed for racism, and that’s in spite of a corporate “code of conduct” policy that is now being alleged to work every bit as well as its “security safeguards.”
If I didn’t know any better, if I was an alien from another planet and could only look at the facts to inform me, I’d readily conclude that there was a concerted effort to flush the news that’s not fit for consumption because it tells the wrong story, and the news that is allowed to be printed because it comports with the form, fit and function of the intent of the people who make these decisions.
If I didn’t know any better.

In reality, the New York Times’ motto is, and always HAS been “All the news we see fit to print.”
