4. My simple take
Mon Sep 29, 2025, 11:20 AM
Sep 2025

is they don't emphasize the polarizing aspects of shootings. They report political affiliations quietly for fear of emboldening other potential violent miscreants. Whether this is their own policy as media consortium, or a hint from authorities or the Feds, who knows. But I get it like you do that we get the short end of this stick because the violence so far has been mostly from the right.
