When I type "Lakewood Church Shooter" into Google News, I see coverage from CNN, the New York Times, ABC News, the Associated Press, Fox News, WaPo, NBC, and hundreds of others.

How is the media "not covering it"?

[–]Zapped 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

Not covering the transgender part. They are still describing the shooter as a woman, but some are now giving their previous, male name.

but some are now giving their previous, male name.

Perhaps because - like Jiminy - they masterbate at the thought that a mass shooter might be trans, but those people you refer to probably have no evidence, albeit not a problem for them.

Moreover, how did someone who was supposedly once a man give birth to a kid who is now 5 years old?

Masturbate at it? Why is weird sex shit first thing in your mind

[–]SaltyTexan 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Those who accuse are usually the ones doing it themselves, because they just assume everyone else is.

[–]Jiminy[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Yup

How he gets his kicks

[–]SaltyTexan 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

What I don't get is that it's come out that they were trans, yet the cow still thinks it's a woman... IDK whose more delusional them or the man pretending to be a woman.

[–]Jiminy[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

He just can't admit he was wrong and apologize, it's too painful. I get it, I was like that as a teenager because I had some maturing to do. I also thought about sex all the time then too, so I'm pretty sure he's just young and woke.

[–]SaltyTexan 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'm pretty sure he's just young and woke.

Well at least that would explain all their bad takes on a lot of issues.

[–]Jiminy[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah young teens with bad takes is common

[–]Thinger 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Was there a single mention of Trans?

No.

[–]Hematomato 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Of course there were. As usual, right-wing outlets like Fox News and The Daily Mail put "trans" in the headline; centrist outlets say in the body that Genesse Moreno used to be known as Jeffrey; and left-wing outlets omit the information entirely.

Just look at the search results. You see dozens of articles in all three categories.

Googling it doesn't count. It's hidden, not in front pages.

[–]Hematomato 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (20 children)

Yeah, "Crazy person shoots two people" isn't front-page news. It happens like twenty times a day in America.

[–]Bitch-Im-a-cow 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

But Jiminy gets excited with the prospect that he can spread disinformation on Saidit, thinking the audience here is so stupid as to never have any interest in evidence. He's done this several times.

[–]Jiminy[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Name one time

[–]SaltyTexan 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

How is calling a tans person trans disinformation. Wasn't it YOU who said they were not because they had a kid? Then when you were presented with evidence proving you were wrong you told him to fuck off. 🤨

[–]Jiminy[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (16 children)

It would be if a straight white male. And all the links were from when it was first reported and they didn't know it was a trans. Quietly deleted from front pages after.

[–]Hematomato 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (15 children)

It would be if a straight white male.

It would absolutely not. Our country has roughly 100 million "straight white males," and at least one of them shoots and kills two people virtually every single day.

When it happens as often as the sun rises, it's not front-page news.

[–]Jiminy[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (14 children)

Absolutely would. Why do you waste time arguing known common sense.

[–]Hematomato 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

If it were front-page news every time a straight white guy shot someone, the front page of every newspaper would be nothing but examples of straight white guys shooting someone. It would just be ten different stories about it, every single day.

I think it's known common sense that front pages don't look like that.

[–]Jiminy[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

It's always front page news cuz first it's very rare and second the MSM wants to ban guns

[–]Hematomato 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

There are about 40 gun homicides in the United States every single day. It's not rare at all. In fact, it's so common that most gun homicides only make it into a local paper, and some don't make the news at all.
