I mean, if she shot up youtube because she got worked up by another alt-right 4chan conspiracy theory, then you'd have a point. But she wasn't, she was upset youtube wasn't paying her enough.
- tropo 8y agoThe point is that any violent person unable to be portrayed as "the right" is quickly dropped by the news. The shooting was on the way to being the big news story of the month... and then suddenly dropped out of the news entirely. This creates a bias in the news: all the memorable violent people are on the right because the non-right ones are dropped from news coverage. Basically, the news wants an attacker who looks like their stereotype of an NRA member and/or Trump supporter. Anybody else is not deemed newsworthy.
