Conservatives are up in arms over an ABC News report about Wednesday’s shooting at the Annunciation Catholic school in Minneapolis that omitted key information about the alleged perpetrator’s feelings towards President Donald Trump.
Senior investigative reporter Aaron Katersky said the following on air:
23-year-old Robin Westman was able to leave what police called a video manifesto that they’re now going through to try and establish motive. We’ve also been going through it, and can tell you there are crude diagrams of the church. There are also photos of the weapons, and they include all sorts of writings: the names of past mass shooters, criticism of Israel, the name of President Trump written on the guns. There are also racial slurs, nihilistic statements, all painting the picture of a disturbed individual who carried out this mass shooting on the first week of school at the Annunciation church in Minneapolis.
Westman wrote “Kill Donald Trump” on a gun magazine, among other disturbing messages. Katersky’s failure to mention the alleged shooter’s apparent disdain for Trump, while lumping his name in with those of other mass shooters, led to outcry from the right.
“WTF is wrong with these poeple!???” asked Donald Trump Jr..
“So irresponsible. An obvious lie,” mused Fox News’ Mary Katherine Ham.
“We call this obfuscation ‘anti-journalism,'” added her colleague Guy Benson.
“Again: This is the kind of media dipshittery that turns people away from mainstream outlets and toward the podcast bros and weightlifter-pundits,” chimed in UnHerd’s Sohrab Ahmari. “Colleagues: YOU are creating the very epistemic rupture that you complain about.”
“ABC should terminate this person immediately,” submitted Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle.
“Out. Of. Context.,” submitted NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham.
“Unreal….” commented Comfortably Smug of the Ruthless podcast.
But wait, there’s more:
