If the shooting doesn't meet the political parameters it will not see the light of day. New Yellow journalism ! The media is in the Democratic pocket. An example is the shooting in Louisiana where a gang banger shoots 17 in Bunny Park, but he is a felon and cannot legally own and gun so it won't get the media attention.?

When mass shooting occur the left goes nuts and runs to the WP to show their outrage... unless it happens in the cities that Democrats control.

It helps if you understand liberal logic and that of their media lapdogs.

yea, i heard about that one. i'm not sure what the criteria is for national news. gang violence doesn't get as much national press as it did 20 years ago i guess. i hope they catch them and crackdown hard on the gang problem down there.

This got a lot of news coverage. As far as I remember, nobody was killed. And, unlike some jackasses, I don't see this as a political issue either.

I think it is more of a racism issue. The man is black, and the media do not want to show a black man as a mass murderer or mass attacker. They will only show it if there are white policemen chasing him, and then the whole thing gets political.

They also do not want to cover gangs because gangs have large numbers of minorities and they do not want to portray minorities as the people who are committing crimes and they do not want to show their neighborhoods plagued with violence and poverty and the consequences of those things.

I can tell you that in Boston, shootings get on the news no matter what color the shooter is, who the victime is, and whether it is a gang or not.
and, the city of Boston is highly Democratic. There hasn't been a Republican mayor in my memory.

You mean like the New York Times article written 4 days before your link?

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2015/11/22/us/ap-us-post-parade-shooting.html

Or the Washington Post story.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/11/22/reports-at-least-10-shot-at-party-in-new-orleans-park/

Or the Boston Globe.

Do you really believe that? do you really believe out media reports the news with no biased opinions that they truthfully report all the news so that we the people are informed of all things? really do you?

Your right about if a shooting doesn't meet a certain set or parameters it doesn't make it past a local news story. I have no idea why you think this is the Democrats fault.

It seems that if the majority of the victims are black, it doesn't make the news. Stories also don't tend to make the news unless the shooter is a Muslim, a cop, an illegal alien or a celebrity. Those are the stories everyone wants to talk about around the water cooler or argue about on the Whipping Post. A bunch of black people dying in the ghetto - yawn.

According to Obama today”it is possible this was terrorist related; it is also possible it was workplace violence” blah, blah, blah.

Obama called the Ft. Hood massacre by a radicalized Islamic Extremist Terrorist “workplace violence” just hours after Nidal Hasan fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others while screaming “All?hu Akbar”.

Then of course he goes into his standard rant calling for gun control blah, blah, blah.

Okay Obama, put up or shut up. You keep running off at the mouth about “gun control” but never offer a bill. Obama uses the most general and unspecific terms possible.
Put your “gun control” legislation on the table for the American Citizens to read.

Ain’t gonna happen folks, Obama is all mouth and no action.

Because gang violence isn't a new phenomenon. weekly mass shootings of random innocents is a NEW issue. That's the answer to your question.

this isn't political as much as you and Mule want it to be. We have these problems in all cities and states.

Obama is responsible for National Security and has failed to meet his first responsibility.
By far the majority of domestic gun violence against black people, by black people is perpetrated in the cities run by Democrats.

You can call it politics and you can call it gross incompetence; whatever fits.

The media is in the Democratic pocket.

Hey Ryde your statement is non-sensical and wholly ignorant of the facts. Only 6 corporations own today's media. Most of those corporations have subsidiaries that make weapons of war. Our media is corporate. Corporations are not liberal.

So many right wingers boo hoo about the liberal media when the media is just the opposite. The media is pro war, anti union, pro corporate welfare, pro surveillance... the list goes on.

Do the 6 corporations contribute to the Democratic Party? Absolutely. They also contribute to the GOP.

The following article explains how these corporation support an oligarchy:

83% of whites are murdered by other whites! Which political party do we blame that on?

http://breakingbrown.com/2014/03/white-on-white-crime-is-on-the-rise-so-wheres-the-outrage/

White on White Crime is on the Rise, So Where’s the Outrage?

Can anyone shed light on the media’s fixation with so-called “Black on Black” hom!cide? You wouldn’t know it by listening to the mainstream media, but Black on Black hom¡cide has actually dropped from a high of 94% in the 1990s to 91.3% in 2012. This may not seem significant, until you realize that White on White hom!cide has risen during the same period.

In addition, if you listen to the likes of Fox News, Blacks are not only murder¡ng each other, but they are k¡lling off the White race in their spare time. However, statistics clearly show that while Blacks may be murdering each other, Whites are engaged in the same behavior.

James S. Robbins’ response to the Zimmerman trial uses FBI data to prove this fact. In his article, “White on Black Murder: Who Really is Killing Whom?” he states the following: According to the most recent (2011) FBI statistics, of the 2,695 murders in which the victim was black, 91% were committed by people of the same race. Odds are if the victim was wearing a hoodie, the perp was too. The same pattern of intra-racial v¡olence holds for whites. 83 percent of white mµrders in 2011 were within-race killings, and only 14% were black on white. These data tell us that murder in America is decidedly not a matter of racial hatred.”

This misrepresentation about crime only breeds more unfounded fear of Black America. Whites are more likely to respond with fear to Blacks and respond with force, even when they are in no immediate danger themselves. The recent shootings of Jonathan Ferrell and Renisha McBride show the danger of being Black while seeking help. In both cases, they were k¡lled by frightened Whites.

There are intellectuals who are attempting to wake up White America such as Tim Wise, who points out to his fellow White Americans that they are more in danger of being k¡lled by another White person than a Black Person. He delves specifically into this issue with his article “Nazis Can’t do Math Reflections of Racism Crime and the Illiteracy of Right Wing Statistical Analysis”.

In 2010, for instance, whites killed whites 3,252 times: 4.6 times more than the number of whites k¡lled by blacks. Why no generalized fear of white people then? Why assume that black-on-white murder (which occurs about one-fifth as often) somehow portends some larger social trend, while white-on-white mµrder is merely random, individual, and signifies nothing more important, socially, at all? Why? Because racists are racists, that’s why.

Wise’s statements are greeted by disbelief from his counterparts. Instead of embracing the irrefutable truth, they try and disprove facts. They use “smoke and mirror math” to disprove his statements. When their math is questioned… they claim that Wise simply hates his own race. Why else, they question, would he post such things? They will not accept the truth of his statements which is htat Whites are k¡lling Whites in record numbers.

At one point in 2012, White on White Homicide was recorded at 88%, Black on Black remained steady at 91%. Each of these percentages is unacceptable. It should be a call to action…but it’s not.

Black people must be aware that they are no better or worse than their White counterparts. As long as the perception is that it’s a Black on Black problem the alarm isn’t being raised. As long as White America feels safe in the knowledge, that it’s not their problem the stats will continue to climb, and the death toll rise. Only when White America realizes that it too has a problem, will it become an American problem…until then Whites, Blacks and Browns will continue on this race destructive path.

The San Bernardino incident was Islamic Extremist Terrorism and therefore comes under National Security which is Obama's responsibility.

His wife was an ISIS pledged terrorist and the Obama administration let her in the U.S. on a visa after they “thoroughly” vetted her. She supplied false information on her application.

National Security is the president’s first responsibility.

Good job Obama. You allowed the biggest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11.

The Aurora, CO shooting was not a terrorist attack.

Unless you believe James Holmes is a jihadist and then you need the psychological treatment Holmes needed. Of course he didn't get it because the mental health system in the U.S. was and continues to be broken.

Nothing about anger. It is just seeing the truth clearly while recognizing that the liberals are far more concerned about not offending anyone than facing to and defeating terror.

They seem to have no problem offending you. You would rather run your mind in circles believing this is about left/right as opposed to dealing with reality. Your little party war means nothing to the world.

Look at all the drugs that the Rep. allowed to enter even when they were just saying no. Helped create all these gangs that are shooting each other. I guess Just Say No was pretty stupid. They should have called it Just Smoke Crack and Shoot People. Amazed that Just Don't Steal or Just Don't Shoot People didn't work either.

I know I know - Obama's fault again.

Bush let 9/11 happen. He should have personally been on each plane to stop it.

Obama should have personally checked out every American by now.

Allowed to enter... ? Take off your velvet boxing gloves, I know you know better!

That is way too kind. There has been active mob-govt collusion in drugs smuggling by the West since the Opium War Era, thru the Vietnam Era, (might as well throw in Prohibition), thru the Central American involvement Eras, to Afghanistan... and again, it has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans. It's just business as usual.
