IN KC a black kid knocks on aome demented 84 year old white man’s door at 10 PM, gets shot/wounded, and a story that nevery should have made it out of KC is front page national news for the lib MSM (ex front page NYT)…
An illegal immigrant murders 5 Hispanic neighbors (apparently all Honduran nationals) in Texas (several excution style). Now if the shooter was a (non Hispanic) white MAGA in good ol red conk Texas, this would be front page national news for a week or more for the gun grabbing left with calls to ban so called ‘assault weapons’, but alas, nothing to see here. Perp wrong race and immigration status.So for the MSM its

Huh? It’s been all over the national news.
Although I never like to argue for BDK, he's right to a point here. The earlier shootings were plastered all over the likes of ABC and CNN and such and fed to other stories talking about those in lots of detail. This most recent one, especially once the ID of the shooter as an oft-deported immigrant, became known, it's harder to find on sites like CNN. Sure it's there somewhere, but not really highlighting the immigration history of the shooter. Fox on the other hand, certainly didn't cover the earlier shootings nearly as much as the CNN types did, but can't stop shouting to the rooftops about the immigration angle in this most recent shooting.
So if his point was that the left-leaning media plays up shootings, especially when white on black, and that the right-leaning media plays up shootings, especially when illegal immigrant on anyone, and that both of them either downplay or tamper down the opposite, then yes, he's kinda correct. But he's wrong that the story about the Black kid being shot through the door on a wrong address situation didn't deserve to get out of KC - that was particularly newsworthy IMO.
