The Cowardly Media Reporting On Hate Crimes

Isn't it curious that the media (with the exception of ABC and FoxNews) refuses to cover a hate crime shooting of a victim at a conservative pro-life organization in Washington, DC if the perpetrator is a leftwing zealot? The alleged shooter, Floyd Corkins, was ironically subdued by the heroic guard, Leonardo Johnson, whom he had just shot at the Family Research Council. "I don't like your politics," he told the guard before shooting him.

D.C. police now report that Corkins had been volunteering for about the past six months at the DC Center for the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) Community and they found ammunition and 15 Chick-Fil-A sandwiches in his bag.

The Family Research Council has been repeatedly labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) which is a non-profit civil rights organization with multi-million dollar assets. The media, however, has not suggested that the SPLC bears any responsibility for encouraging Corkins proving that the media is quite selective about connecting responsibility for "hate crime" incidents. In another ironic point, how come Floyd Corkins isn't being called a white supremacist since the guard he shot happens to be a black man? Where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton?

Cool paper, good article. Thanks. Interesting how the SPLC offers the disclaimer that the don’t look into left wing extremism because they aren’t “set up that way” sota like saying we don’t look that way.
