      Anything to avoid saying “Transgender Extremist Murders Christian Children”, which is what happened, end of story.

      Wording it like that is itself agenda driven. You don’t want accuracy, you just want the headlines to fit a specific agenda, one that derides trans people and plays towards the christian persecution fetish.

      There is a clear agenda from the media to demonize white straight men and elevate everybody else, regardless how heinous their actions

      There is no such agenda. Most shooters are white men, so most coverage is of white men.

          the way the media covers white men’s crimes and they way they cover the same type of crimes from minority groups

          Yeah, it’s almost like it is dangerous to suggest that minority groups are dangerous, so journalists need to be careful with their wording when talking negatively of minorities. It’s almost like historically people used stories of evil minorities to murder minorities.
