292: The media narrative on mass shootings

The boys drink and review Honey Kolsch by Rogue Brewing, then talk about how the media treats mass shootings. As with so many issues in the news today, you have to peel back the agenda from the news coverage. Often the media can’t even wait for the facts to come out before they start with their interpretations and explanations.

You can almost feel the hunger by the news organizations for a story that confirms their view of the world.

Mass shootings are almost always used as an excuse to promote new laws, even if the new law wouldn’t have done a thing to stop the latest outrage, and even if there were already laws on the books that should have.

In story after story, if a shooting fits with the liberal media’s agenda, we hear about it for weeks. If the story doesn’t confirm their agenda, it quietly goes away.

It’s all about identity politics. But only when that’s convenient and fits the preferred template.
