Make no mistake that this is a growing sentiment on the political Left, and that includes the corporate media, writes redsteeze.
After an 18-year-old alleged gunman stormed a Buffalo grocery store and killed 10 people, it took the national media apparatus about two minutes to point the finger at conservative media, specifically Fox News and Tucker Carlson. The alleged shooter left an online manifesto with eerie echos of the Christchurch shooting in New Zealand and the shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, spouting off about the"Great Replacement" theory .
Journalists know exactly what they are doing in conflating these two ideas, as do Democratic politicians. Putting a target on Fox News and Carlson is simply the latest subtle push at censorship. In recent weeks, corporate media have been caterwauling at the idea of looser content moderation politics on social media, and you can bet that Elon Musk and his pending deal with Twitter will be tied to the Buffalo shooting next.
Over at the Atlantic, author Juliette Kayyem wrote, “Language alone cannot change the violent extremism that is a part of American society today, which President Joe Biden called out last night as 'hate-fueled domestic terrorism' that leads to such tragedy. Social-media platforms should be held accountable and gun laws should be more restrictive, but the wrong language has a tendency to excuse the herd.
These comments received no pushback from host Chuck Todd, who had prompted her with the context of conservative commentators fomenting dangerous mobs of mass killers. Make no mistake that this is a growing sentiment on the political Left, and that includes the corporate media.
