The way this spa shooting is being exploited is a low below what I thought the media would do. And I criticize them more than nearly anyone.
Nearly instantaneously it was decided that the shooting was an act of anti-Asian hatred. Note that the shooter is alive and has been clear that he was motivated by his sexual frustrations. But that doesn’t matter, since his victims were largely Asian (though one quarter were not) the media has declared that he was motivated by anti-Asian racism.
And not only that, they know exactly how he was motivated: because Donald Trump called COVID-19, a virus that originated in China, a Chinese virus. Again the shooter actually has explained his motivations (such as they are) and the Wuhan flu doesn’t enter into them, but that’s not stopping the media from reporting on what he must really have been thinking. The closest thing they have to a connection is that an official investigating the case liked an image of a t-shirt linking COVID-19 to China. This is like the reasoning of a paranoid schizophrenic, but it’s the mainstream story.
The Biden administration is being quick to tout their “foresight” in condemning anti-Asian bigotry a couple of months ago. But all that does it make it all the more obvious how this was planned. I don’t think the attack itself was arranged by the government, the shooter very likely is just a sexually frustrated loon. But I do think that they were planning to launch this narrative the second there was a high profile attack against multiple Asians (and, this is probably what made them wait so long, carried out by a white man). The story across various outlets is too coordinated for the response not to have been planned before the attack happened.
I no longer view any form of MSM news as it is nothing more than Socialist propaganda and lies. The same goes for most MSM financial news where statistics are manipulated to give the impression that all is well with the economy.
This quote from a USA Today article sums it all up:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2021/03/18/atlanta-victims-were-killed-white-violence-racism-many-insist/4751240001/
For many, the killings were clear acts of racism – and yet the notion seemed to draw pushback from authorities and critics on social media. We’re waiting for the evidence, they heard those institutions say. But the evidence, they thought, is in our experience. Experience reflecting centuries of white supremacy.
They are outright saying that they don’t care what happened, it’s going to be about how white people hate asians because they say so.
