VANITY: Why name THIS guy?

I forget if it was Sandy Hook or the Colorado event -- whatever...the press made a big deal of NOT mentioning the name of the shooter. In Orlando, however, they seem to have no such compunction. Why????has

He’s not white. He’s a protected class of American. It doesn’t suit a narrative to remind Americans that a Muslim did this.

Wouldn’t naming him do just that?

It’s a snake eating its tail. They have to spin it as either anti-gay or anti-muslim. This is a particularly sticky wicket for the media.

They are naming this guy so they can gratuitously include the line that he was born in New York City.

Yep, Mateen was born in New York City, just like Donald Trump.

Of course, Hillary was born in Illinois...just like Richard Speck.

Yep the home grown terrorist - surprised they are not describing him as a white muslim who was born in New York. All part of the gun control agenda.
