On Tuesday, 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long killed eight people and injured multiple others in a shooting rampage at three massage parlors in the Atlanta metro region. The police stopped and arrested Long on Interstate 75 on Tuesday night as he was on his way to Florida, possibly to continue his massacre, according to the Washington Post. Long is currently charged with eight counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault.
Long revealed his motivations to investigators, saying he targeted the businesses “for providing an outlet for his addiction to sex.” Six of the eight victims in the shooting rampage were women of Asian descent, and two were white men. When asked by reporters, Cherokee County Sheriff's Captain Jay Baker stated that investigators explicitly asked Long if his attack was racially motivated. He said that it was not.
Aside from an uncorroborated claim reported in a South Korean newspaper, no credible evidence suggests that anti-Asian prejudice was a factor. As the investigation proceeds, that may change, but deliberately to spin the story at this point as an act of white supremacist terror is irresponsible.
Sadly, however, many mainstream media outlets have become indistinguishable from propaganda mills. “How Racism and Sexism Intertwine to Torment Asian-American Women,” reads one New York Times headline on the shootings. An NBC article laments “America’s sexualized racism problem.” A USA Today news article asks, “Who gets to decide what is racism, hate? Atlanta shootings renew debate over white violence, privilege.” A CNN op-ed declares, “In one sense, it’s immaterial whether the accused killer in the Atlanta spa shootings admits to a racist motivation” (emphasis mine). Perhaps the most atrocious headline belongs to The Root: “Whiteness Is a Pandemic.” It is not an exaggeration to say that the woke media’s racial obsession has become hallucinatory. In a viral segment on The Daily Show, Trevor Noah spun a claim out of thin air, asserting, “The Atlanta shooter blamed a specific race of people for his problems, and then murdered them because of it. If that’s not racism, then the word has no meaning.”

The MSM has become Amerika's Pravda, TASS, and Izvestia affiliates... the people in the old Soviet Union saw them as jokes and tuned into shortwave broadcasts of Radio Free America and European sources for the REST OF THE STORY... the real news. Many of us in America have tuned the MSM out and tuned into alternative media for our news.. maybe a majority by now. I have noticed many major networks and cable companies have turned to paid programming .... evidently they are unable to attack and keep paid sponsors for their own programming... I wonder why?
Skye news from Australia will give you more truth about what's going on then our Compromised Marxist Media and Bought and Owned C.C.P. OWNED Puppet President Biden.
The msm think it is better to push the anti-Asian narritive. Even though, the perpetrator has stated it had nothing to do with race; his relations have stated the same thing and even the FBI has said they can find no racial element. What nobody is telling you is that most anti-Asian crimes are committed by Negros. Sooner or later (and hopefully sooner) people are going to wake up and realize the media is lying to them.
Democrats fueling their COMMUNIST REVOLUTION through racist propagnda. We all know who the REAL RACIST are COMRADES, don't we?

It is a dirty shame that news outlets cannot be sued to the max for presenting lies and false facts.
I agree. But The Covington Kid, Sandman, did a really good job. Had a Great Lawyer!
