What if, for the sheer novelty of it, the liberal media treated this tragedy that occurs in Chicago EVERY WEEKEND as the same as the wall to wall coverage they are giving the Pittsburgh shooting?

There have been 468 murders in Chicago so far this year. Is the only reason the media not reporting this is because they can't blame Trump for it?

MSM doesn't deem it newsworthy, unless the shooter is a white male using an AR-15. It gets nonstop breaking 24/7 coverage if the person/s being shot is of color.

Reporting black on black crime doesn't divide people as good as a white man killing a person of color. MSM needs something to tie Trump to.

Most of those people are African-American and were killed by other African-American people, so it doesn't matter. Black Lives Matter only when blacks are killed by people of another race (which of course are a tiny fraction of all homicides involving African-American victims).

Mass shootings, especially ones in churches motivated by overt anti-Semites or racists, are always going to get disproportionately higher media coverage than one-off shootings in high-crime / gang+ drug areas. There is nothing particularly surprising about this.

The media is too busy with running set ups of people not being PC enough toward blacks.

What if, for the sheer novelty of it, Conservatives treated the tragedy that occurs in Chicago EVERY WEEKEND as if it was actually a tragedy and not just a response to when ever something else tragic happens.

Funny how you only care about Chicago or Detroit when you want to attack the left, and never because you genuinely care.

And another jump on the Trump snake oil bandwagon member.

The problem with he MSM is that it takes huge profits from dumbass campaign ads paid for by dark money/foreign money thanks to Citizens United and brought to you compliments of the GOP crime syndicate. The real journalists are the ones that the monstrosity in The White House fears because they are indeed reporting the truth about his criminality and tremendous fear-mongering con job that tools fall for hook line and sinker.
