    On CNN's main website, there's a story about the dancing grannies that got run over. Also a story called Analysis: there's nothing more scary in America than an angry white man. The two stories get roughly equal billing.

    This is why sensationalism isn't as good an explanation for how corporate media reports its news, as tribalism is. They want clicks of course, but they appeal to tribalism foremost in that effort. A car running over a crowd is sensational, but it makes their intended audience feel badly about their tribe, so the sensational story is smothered.

    Education is extremely important.

          Riiiight. That's why everybody sits glued to their chairs watching shit on TV. They're heroes!

          Edit - sorry, not meaning to go off on a tangent. This thing is just awful, it deserves decent coverage.

                Yeah, so are claims of white supremacy and the entirety of the leftist race narrative. Which are completely mainstream pop culture narratives. Hyperbolic bullshit is not a disqualifier for an idea being accepted by the masses.

                        @horace

                        No issue with me. I think the current leftist pop culture race narrative is bullshit too. Not shoved down our throats to the extent is south of the 49th, but the indigenous reconciliation crap we have a daily dose or more of here is just plain false.

                        It’s all bullshit, everything.

                                After he ditched the car he apparently knocked on a stranger’s door with some sob story. The guy brought him in and made him a ham sandwich. They caught him on the guy’s porch, all caught in a ring camera.

                                    I just don't understand this. They say they rule out terrorism, but what else do you call it if he just wanted to kill random people? OK, he's not a Muslim or a white supremacist - does that somehow stop him from being described as a terrorist?

                                    The fact that there's so many young children there just makes it unbearable to watch.

                                      I just don't understand this. They say they rule out terrorism, but what else do you call it if he just wanted to kill random people?

                                        Good enough for me. A terrorist designation implies there was some goal involved.

                                          I'm all for a fair trial and if guilty, a quick hanging.
