Tucker rips lack of coverage of DC mass shooting, claims media silent to help Biden campaign​

‘Dead bodies don’t count unless they are politically useful dead bodies’​

Tucker: Dead bodies don’t count unless they are politically useful​

Violence doesn’t bother the media or liberal leaders, but disobedience does.

The single biggest U.S. mass shooting of 2020 occurred over the weekend in Washington, but because the story didn’t “help the Biden campaign,” it went largely unreported on, Tucker Carlson said Monday.

“Twenty-one people were shot in this single incident … more than half of them were women. One was a D.C. Police officer. It was the single biggest mass shooting in America this year and yet you probably heard nothing about it,” the “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host said.

“Members of Congress didn’t lock arms on the House floor to demand an end to the gun violence, CNN didn’t book a procession of weepy teenage gun-control activists … news organizations barely touched the story and when they did, they moved fast,” Carlson continued. "It wouldn’t help the Biden campaign to talk about it, so they didn’t talk about it. "

. . . The Washington, D.C. police officer who was wounded is said to be “fighting for her life.”

“As far as we can tell, neither CNN or MSNBC even mentioned it today,” Carlson said. “Now they acted like it didn’t happen, but it did happen. Twenty-one African-Americans shot by gunmen and yet the media spent all weekend telling you about how Simon Cowell fell off his electric bike in Malibu because really, Black Lives Matter.”

The episode is an obvious example of the media’s glaring double standard, Carlson said.

Tucker Carlson is lying when he says there was a lack of coverage of the shooting. It was covered by CNN. It was covered by the Washington Post. It was covered by ABC. It was covered by CBS. It was covered by USA Today. It was covered by the NY Times. There was only one death, even if 20 were injured. (Many more died yesterday of the virus that Trump refuses to take seriously). This is a typical Tucker bid to generate outrage against Democrats out of whole cloth.

How can Tucker criticize “the media” for being biased when he himself is an avid supporter of Trump and defender of all conservatives?

I think the confusion is, while Tucker is part of the mainstream media, his followers confuse media with journalism…Tucker is not, and has never been a journalist. In days of yore, people in the niche he fills were simply referred to as “talking suits”.
 
LOL…Superman in a Bow Tie…oh, wait, he got rid of the Alex P. Keaton look he was going for a couple of decades ago…So maybe not Superman, and no longer a bow tie.
 
Excellent point…the fictional Clark Kent was more of a journalist than Carlson could ever hope to be!

“Great Caesar’s Ghost!”, he might be closer to being Jimmy Olsen!

Just 1 dead. Just saying.

Another excellent point…Carlson seems to loose his mind over 1 dead body and attributing the death to Democrats, but doesn’t dare raise the issue of 163,000 deaths being attributed to mismanagement of the virus by his home team…go figure.

just stop. NY has 20% of the deaths, but around 6-7% of the US population. Cuomo is largely responsible for the greatest number of deaths due to actual mismanagement…by sending infected patients back into nursing homes. We all know you don’t like Trump, not every bad thing is due to him.
 
Tucker I guess doesn’t have access to google?

I googled the news item last night.

Washington post has it.

New York Times has it.

NBC news has it.
 
Pointing out the obvious hypocrisy of the media is a community service,Tucker does it so well.Love the guy!

We have something in common! I love him too…his words are only second best to Trump’s in the advancement of the Biden campaign.

Did he say more than one person died? No he didn’t.

I have yet to see the Democrat remedy and show how it would have made the result different. Possibly you could post it for us.

There are different kinds of lying, and I do get your drift.
