Not as foolish as your typical right leaning response. The idea this the media that


Yet the story was covered by all media outlets , and guess who's coverage has the outrage and is salivating over this storie in the manner you suggest. FOX and any other right leaning blog FB post or the person who started the thread upset of the lack of outrage over the incident on this forum from others , when he could have posted days ago when it happen .

From the OP. "white child shot point blank in the head by a black man and nothing here.Why?Where's the outrage "

It's not the child was killed which produced this outrage its black man kills white child that's the outrage .. and it's in black and white you read it and insist it's the BS you responded with ..

no, there's been little outrage and almost no coverage....because it doesn't fit the current media narrative...this time....if the media weren't so focused on destroying this country in other ways they'd be screaming for gun control and money for mental health....the outrage is that the media completely ignores a story like this(until very recently when called on it) for political reasons...it's criminal and I completely understand that you were simply triggered by the red hat in the cartoon

Conservative Americans claimed the mainstream news media (apart from Fox News) schemed to keep the death of Cannon Hinnant quiet.


In August 2020, conservative Americans launched a social media campaign to call attention to the shooting death of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant in North Carolina — a murder of a white child they claimed received little media attention compared to the recent killings of Black men by American police.

A Black man was charged in North Carolina in the killing of Cannon Hinnant, a 5-year-old white boy, and except for Fox News, mainstream news media outlets purposely ignored it to further a predetermined racial narrative.

What's True
Darius Sessoms, who is Black, has been charged in the fatal shooting of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant on Aug. 9, 2020, according to police statements.

What's False
However, no evidence has demonstrated a pattern of ignoring the crime on the part of mainstream news media outlets, much less doing so to further a predetermined racial narrative.





But hea again why should facts matter ... who's pushing predetermined racial narrative..? . conservatives ....surprise surprise....

The story is tragic but otherwise not that noteworthy. Tragedy happens all the time and you never hear about it.

Now dragging the poor kids death into the culture war...that's tragic and noteworthy. I'm sure his family really appreciates it.

6500 deaths by firearm of kids 5-14 between 1999 and 2017.

So 6500/18=361 deaths per year...or...as you so eloquently put it..."nearly every day."

You forgot the part where a guy puts a gun to a little kid's head and pulls the trigger

The big difference, most are accidental shootings, or innocent bystander caught in a gang banger shoot out

This kid was 5, he was targeted by an adult male in a pre meditated fashion.

the only time MSM reports is if it fits their agenda:

Anti gun agenda they blow up the national media with school shootings, but they ignore the gang violence in Chicago, and the innocent kids caught in the crossfire. They ignore all of the kids killed as a result of the protest/ rioting. Doesn't help their agenda
You can't honestly say there is no media bias, that is what people get pissed about.
