Never mind the White woman's horrific murder by a Black male, the media has bigger things to report.
Like, the problem of MAGA Americans taking note that the media is ignoring horrific murders caught on video.
when the perps are Black and especially when the victims are White.




"Stabbing video fuels MAGA's crime message



MAGA influencers are drawing repeated attention to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases.

Shocking video of the fatal Aug. 22 knife attack on 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a light-rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina, dominated weekend conversation on Trump-friendly social media.
The big picture: The rising number of surveillance cameras in public spaces, including on Charlotte's light rail, has become a big accelerant in these cases.

The video is easily shared or leaked, and can instantly pollinate across social media — a visual counterpoint to statistics showing crime decreases.
Driving the news: President Trump, asked about the Charlotte video by a reporter Sunday, said he wanted to find out more about the stabbing before commenting.

"I'll know all about it by tomorrow morning," Trump said.
A Trump adviser told Axios: "This is exactly what he's talking about, and it's going to be an issue he's going to highlight. This is not just about North Carolina. Other campaigns will deal with this."

If Democrats, "not Democrats" and their cheerleaders in the media were just as shocked, horrified, and galvanized as those of us who are normal were, this would not be an issue for Trump. The left would be able to credibly say "we care just as much as Trump."

But it is so obvious which side is the side of such criminals that even a completely factual, and apolitical, reporting of this tragedy is bad for that side.

The Democrat Party and the Left sees crime as a form of social justice.
