How Liberal media kept Brianna Kupfer story OFF their homepages and when they did run it they DIDN'T use his picture and made no mention of his enormous rap sheet
UK Daily Mail ^ | January 20 2022 | MICHELLE THOMPSON

Posted on 01/20/2022 12:19:33 AM PST by knighthawk

Left-leaning news outlets ignored the lengthy criminal history of Brianna Kupfer's alleged killer in their coverage - and even omitted his mugshot from their homepages.

Reports by liberal giants - including the Los Angeles Times, ABC News, CBS and CNN - inexplicably left out details about Shawn Laval Smith's violent past. A picture of him - released by police in hopes the public might help find him - was also left off sites' landing pages.

The LA Times, in its article, made no mention of Smith's previous arrests, or the fact he was free during the stabbing on a $1,000 bond related to a Los Angeles County misdemeanor in October 2020.

You know what? I just had an idea!

Suppose you got a bunch of people together, and they put together a website or a broadcast or a paper, and they reported interesting and useful things to the public?

We could call it ‘journalism’!

In fairness, pretty much everyone at the Free Republic and beyond knew what the perp looked like even before they saw his picture.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it would seem that non-blacks are under constant unprovoked violent assault by violent black thugs. Whites and Asians live under ongoing threat of murder or assault by black people. The stories are too numerous to list here.

Reporting would be more honest.

The left are still intending to destroy blacks by creating a culture of impunity for the criminal set.

These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again. [Said to Senator Richard Russell, Jr. (D-GA) regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1957]
Lyndon B. Johnson

This has not changed.

They want blacks to think they are kings of society, so society grows to hate them.

Whenever a white woman is killed by a black man or raped

Yet it’s a micro genocide in the west

My opinion of Daily Mail just went up a few notches for finally calling out the left.

Most normal people are scared to become involved with law enforcement by being caught doing even mildly bad things. How do these people who do the most evil things that would have most people scared of years of imprisonment keep walking around? I know, prosecutorial black privilege. I’m white, they’d throw away the key.

The liberal media loves to cover up for killers, esp minority ones because to admit that many are psychopaths would be an admission that Liberal policies failed big time to address criminals and the mentally ill.

I wasn’t shocked to see the family of the “juvenile” that murdered Tessa Majors give attitude and insolent behavior to the reporters videoing them as they walked into the court room.

One of the family members said, “Y’all can kiss ma a-—”.

No shame, nothing. Over-inflated egos brought on by the MSM, Hollyweird, and other propaganda machines.

I wonder how her father feels now, and if he’s changed his ultra-left views on crime and gun control. A large number of victims of these kinds of crimes are young, white, women who are taught to ignore their instincts in liberal institutions, and place themselves in precarious situations to avoid being “racist”.

I keep making it plain that liberals will sacrifice women and children for their ideals. They do not have a problem doing this.

Local media hid the perp’s pic when that guy raped and murdered the drunk girl up north.

Cops found him on a beach in Texas IIRC; he was getting ready to cross into Mexico.

It’s not inexplicable at all to those who inderstand that the gaslight media’s job is to mislead the publibc into believing false things. They have a narrative to advance, truth and facts be damned. They’re worse than Pravda.
