Serious Does the mainstream media miss an opportunity to politicise ANYTHING?

[Hoppipolla]

So I'm sitting here watching some interviews with Parkland shooting survivors.

And they're just... put across like I should feel guilty somehow for what happened. And then they all seem to end up criticism of the government and gun laws.

I mean, of course some people affected by these awful attacks will be left-wing and some will be right-wing. But I'd be willing to bet they never interviewed any right-wingers or if they did they kept their opinions very, very quiet.

And then they say how Cruz had swastikas on his magazines and looked up Nazi stuff and whatever.

I just... really, really feel like they politicise even these terrible events. And then people like me get criticised for bringing it up. The problem is they do it subtly so they have plausible deniability.

I'm not going to sit here and DEFEND Nikolas Cruz or any mass shooters. Of course it's not good to kill civilians.

It's not good to kill anyone, lol. I don't even agree with the death penalty.

We all get unhappy with normies sometimes but that's no excuse to kill them! Plus not everyone there will have been a normie

The weird thing from my perspective is it seems like a lot of people do think that taking lives is sometimes warranted, or they wouldn't be calling for the death penalty for Nik.

Even if that was the case though it's of course not everybody and firing indiscriminately would take out everyone no matter how good or how evil they were.

Wtf are you talking about? Talking about his political motives isn't politicizing.

Not saying liberals are right in their reactions etc., but not talking about it at all would even be more funny.

I think they cherry-pick though.

And possibly make up or exaggerate certain things.
