Ed Morrissey demonstrates why the New York Post is the only paper in New York City worth reading.
The story of the Waukesha massacre appears to have gone to the same media destination as the ongoing crisis of abandoned Americans in Afghanistan. Perhaps we can call it the Island of Misfit Narratives.
The New York Post — and the people of Waukesha — certainly get that impression, after watching the national media lose interest in the attack on a Christmas parade after the arrest of an inconvenient perpetrator:
Screenshots of Brooks’ Facebook page, under his MathBoi Fly rapper handle, were mysteriously deleted right after the parade murders, and showed that he had praised Hitler, backed Black Lives Matter — and called for violence against white people.
“So when we start bakk knokkin white people TF out ion wanna hear it…the old white ppl 2, KNOKK DEM TF OUT!! PERIOD,” he wrote under his rap name, MathBoi Fly, along with a middle-finger emoji.
Brooks’ case has become a cause célèbre — not in the mainstream media, which was slammed for initially saying the deadly attack was caused by “a car” that drove into the parade, but by an increasing chorus of influential podcasters like Joe Rogan and online pundits who claim Brooks and his victims in Waukesha have been “swept under the carpet” by the press because the case doesn’t fit their agenda.
As usual, Ed raises an interesting point. If the existence of a story, if the existence of a news event does damage to the cause of the left, it’s simply goes down the memory hole.
The examples of such things happening are rather numerous. The Maxwell trial, the number of people that are still stuck in Afghanistan assuming that they’re still alive as a result of Joe Biden’s idiocy, the record high inflation, again as the result of Joe Biden’s idiocy, the question of why we were cooperating with the Communist Chinese in the process of developing biological weapons, the idea that Anthony Fauci is on record as saying these masking mandates aren’t buying us a bloody thing… All of these go down the memory hole. Nobody reports on them.
Well, almost nobody.
Which as I say demonstrates why the New York Post is the only paper in New York City that’s worth reading.
Is it any wonder that the mainstream media is going under? Nobody believes them anymore.
Their own bias is why.
