“The shooter’s gender identity has not been confirmed by CBS News,” the network’s executives insisted in a Tuesday memo obtained by The Post. “As such, we should avoid any mention of it as it has no known relevance to the crime. Should that change, we can and will revisit.”

On principle this approach is fine, but I guarantee if it was a white cis male or a Trump supporter they'd mention it at every opportunity regardless of its relevance to the crime.

Yeah they have to make sure the shooter is actually transgender.... then they will reveal they're transgender once the news cycle has died down.

They did exactly that with Kyle. I found it interesting that was the only instance where they did NOT blame the fabled "assault rifle"

Well, it was a BLM "peaceful protest," and they needed the race angle of the shooter more than the gun angle that time around.

It is already widely known that she was transgender though.

Yeah, but MSM is hoping that if they don't talk about it, people won't think about it. Hardly the first time that they've worked to memoryhole an inconvenient bit of information.

Make sure to mention that she was white and a 'male' a lot though! hand rubbing intensifies

    If the motivation was Downs syndrome rights and then the shooter would 100% be called that.

    Go find another crappy argument for your decisiveness.

      it's pretty clear the motive had to do with being transgender and mad about it so that's why it needs to be talked about.

      My interest is to promote the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts.

      That's why it's called fake news.

      I'm a little concerned that our principled and stalwart practitioners of journalistic integrity didn't lead with early reports that the gunman... err gunwoman (with enhanced Adam's apple and wide pelvis) was some white supremacist MAGA Trump supporter.

      I mean the first noble and righteous reporter-above-reproach who writes the association into the totally factual and not-at-all leftist ideological screed being fed to the oh-so-revered population that is not seen as a contemptible herd of political livestock should receive some sort of award... a gift card to Starbuck's or some bonus carbon credits as a reward for such virtuously unbiased reporting.

      The shooter was a woman who identified as a man. It was kinda confusing there for a hot sec with how the media was reporting it.

      I do think it's a man trying to be a woman and the media is covering that up.

      Because she was a regular dyke who once wrote "he/him" on some internet profile.
