“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, 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.
